Exploring the matter that filled the early universe
Feb 07, 2017 (SPX)
Theorists and scientists conducting experiments that recreate matter as it existed in the very early universe are gathered in Chicago this week to present and d...
Black Hole Meal Sets Record for Duration and Size
Feb 07, 2017 (SPX)
A giant black hole ripped apart a star and then gorged on its remains for about a decade, according to astronomers. This is more than 10 times longer than any o...
Shaken, but not stirred
Feb 03, 2017 (SPX)
A team of researchers led by Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich physics professor Immanuel Bloch has experimentally realized an exotic quantum syst...
Research pushes concept of entropy out of kilter
Feb 03, 2017 (SPX)
Entropy, the measure of disorder in a physical system, is something that physicists understand well when systems are at equilibrium, meaning there's no external...
Quantum phase transition observed for the first time
Feb 03, 2017 (SPX)

'Ghost particles' could improve understanding the universe
Feb 01, 2017 (SPX)
Trillions of neutrinos, or ghost particles, are passing through us every second. While scientists know this fact, they don't know what role neutrinos play in th...
Boron atoms stretch out, gain new powers
Jan 31, 2017 (SPX)
Hold on, there, graphene. You might think you're the most interesting new nanomaterial of the century, but boron might already have you beat, according to scien...
