Astronomers put forward new theory on size of black holes

Mar 28, 2012 (SPX)

Astronomers have put forward a new theory about why black holes become so hugely massive - claiming some of them have no 'table manners', and tip their 'food' d...

Single molecules in a quantum movie

Mar 27, 2012 (SPX)

The quantum physics of massive particles has intrigued physicists for more than 80 years, since it predicts that even complex particles can exhibit wave-like be...
