Fake plastic atoms
Dec 19, 2018 (ESA)
The Plasma Kristall experiments have been slow-cooking since 1998 using the same recipe: mix electrically charged gas in a sealed container with particles so sm...
Unique insights into an exotic matter state
Dec 19, 2018 (SPX)
By now, they are well researched, and theoretical physics has determined the electronic structure of the majority of matter. However, how matter behaves under e...
Mystery of Black Hole Coronae Deepens
Dec 18, 2018 (SPX)
Surprisingly, the strengths of the magnetic fields do not appear sufficient to power the "coronae," clouds of superheated plasma that are observed around the bl...
Cosmic fountain powered by giant black hole
Dec 17, 2018 (SPX)
In space, awesome gaseous fountains have been discovered in the centers of galaxy clusters. One such fountain is in the cluster Abell 2597. There, vast amounts ...
Researchers create tiny droplets of early universe matter
Dec 11, 2018 (SPX)
The study, published in Nature Physics, stems from the work of an international team of scientists and focuses on a liquid-like state of matter called a quark g...
Bizarre 'dark fluid' with negative mass could dominate the universe - what my research suggests
Dec 06, 2018 (SPX)
The two mysterious dark substances can only be inferred from gravitational effects. Dark matter may be an invisible material, but it exerts a gravitational forc...
On the trail of the Higgs Boson
Dec 06, 2018 (SPX)
The experiments designed to detect the Higgs Boson involve colliding particles with sufficiently high energy head-on after accelerating them in the Large Hadron...
Science: High pressure orders electrons
Dec 06, 2018 (SPX)
Transporting current without losses - superconductors make it possible but only below a certain critical temperature. Conventional superconductors need to be co...
Galileo satellites prove Einstein's Relativity Theory to highest accuracy yet
Dec 04, 2018 (ESA)
Two European fundamental physics teams working in parallel have independently achieved about a fivefold improvement in measuring accuracy of the gravity-driven ...
A golden age for particle analysis
Dec 03, 2018 (SPX)
Even in the Middle Ages, gold particles were used to create vibrant red and blue colours, for example to illustrate biblical scenes in stained glass windows. Th...
Black hole 'donuts' are actually 'fountains'
Dec 03, 2018 (SPX)
Most galaxies host a supermassive black hole, millions or billions of times as heavy as the Sun, in their centers. Some of these black holes swallow material qu...
Scientists Detect Biggest Known Black-Hole Collision
Dec 03, 2018 (SPX)
The Australian National University (ANU) is playing a lead role in Australia's involvement with the gravitational wave discovery through a partnership in the Ad...
Four New Gravitational Wave Events from Black Hole Mergers
Dec 03, 2018 (SPX)
The twin Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) detectors - located in Livingston, Louisiana, and Hanford, Washington - and the Virgo detect...
A Close-up Look at the Whirlpool Around a Gigantic Black Hole
Nov 30, 2018 (SPX)
This measurement confirms the fundamental assumptions of the most commonly used method to measure the mass of central black holes in distant quasars. Studying t...
Gas Clouds Whirling Around Black Hole in Distant Quasar
Nov 30, 2018 (SPX)
Now, the GRAVITY international team of astronomers, including Prof. Hagai Netzer of Tel Aviv University's School of Physics and Astronomy, have concluded that g...
Clemson scientists measure all of the starlight ever produced by the observable universe
Nov 30, 2018 (SPX)
Astrophysicists believe that our universe, which is about 13.7 billion years old, began forming the first stars when it was a few hundred million years old. Sin...
NIST atomic clocks now keep time well enough to improve models of Earth
Nov 29, 2018 (SPX)
The clocks each trap a thousand ytterbium atoms in optical lattices, grids made of laser beams. The atoms tick by vibrating or switching between two energy leve...
New concept for tractor beam from Star Wars developed
Nov 28, 2018 (SPX)
The tractor beams are familiar to many thanks to the Star Wars, Star Trek series and countless pictures of a UFO kidnaping a cow. Yet scientists are trying to o...
Ultracold quantum mix
Nov 27, 2018 (SPX)
However, a team of researchers, led by Ben Lev, in the US at Stanford University and an Austrian team, directed by Francesca Ferlaino, at the University of Inns...
New technology for the first experiment with the greatest source of x-rays in the world
Nov 27, 2018 (SPX)
This technology, which has been used for the study of microscopic biological samples, places the University of Seville among the institutions at the global vang...
