How to weigh a black hole with the Webb Space Telescope
Oct 22, 2018 (SPX)
Astronomers will use NASA's James Webb Space Telescope to measure that black hole's mass. The result might seem like a piece of trivia, but its mass determines ...
Astronomers propose a new method for detecting black holes
Oct 22, 2018 (SPX)
A stellar mass black hole is a compact object with a mass greater than 3 solar masses. It is so dense and has such a powerful force of attraction that not even ...
The state of the early universe: The beginning was fluid
Oct 18, 2018 (SPX)
When colliding ions, the scientists create a fireball that recreates the initial conditions of the universe at temperatures in excess of several thousand billio...
Supermassive black holes and supercomputers
Oct 18, 2018 (SPX)
Around 100 million years of darkness. When the cosmos eventually lit up its very first stars, they were bigger and brighter than any that have followed. They sh...
New study sets a size limit for undiscovered subatomic particles
Oct 18, 2018 (SPX)
If confirmed, the findings would force significant revisions to several prominent theories posed as alternatives to the Standard Model of particle physics, whic...
Physics: Not everything is where it seems to be
Oct 18, 2018 (SPX)
"We want to know the position of our quantum bits very precisely so that we can manipulate and measure them with laser beams," explains Gabriel Araneda from the...
Caltech mom wins Nobel Prize, son is JPL Mars flight tech
Oct 18, 2018 (JPL)
Bailey silenced his phone for the first two, getting grumpier with each ring. Call #3 did the trick. He picked up the phone and said groggily, "What do you want...
Moon to Reveal Secrets of the Infant Universe
Oct 17, 2018 (SPX)

Scientists achieve first ever acceleration of electrons in plasma waves
Oct 15, 2018 (SPX)
The accelerator lies in a tunnel 27 kilometers in circumference, as deep as 175 meters beneath the French-Swiss border. This, by the way, has helped scientists ...
Where is it, the foundation of quantum reality?
Oct 12, 2018 (SPX)
The world of quantum phenomena is full of paradoxes incomprehensible to human intuition and inexplicable to classical physics. This is the thesis we almost alwa...
New half-light half-matter particles may hold the key to a computing revolution
Oct 11, 2018 (SPX)
Current computing technology is based on electronics, where electrons are used to encode and transport information. Due to some fundamental limitations, such as...
