Relationship Established Between Brightness and Diet of Black Holes
Sep 07, 2018 (SPX)
"The light emitted by the material that is falling (its brightness) changes a lot over time, without a stable pattern, so we say that they show variability. We ...
Physicists control molecule for a millionth of a billionth of a second
Sep 07, 2018 (UPI)
In the lab, scientists were observing a basic chemical reaction under an electron microscope. Normally, when the current of the microscope is increased, the rea...
Prime numbers, crystals share similar structural patterns
Sep 06, 2018 (UPI)
When scientists at Princeton University compared the pattern of prime numbers along a lengthy line of numbers with the atomic patterns revealed when crystals ar...
Extremely short electron pulses enables femtosecond and attosecond level research
Sep 06, 2018 (SPX)
Such extremely fast "camera shutter speeds" can be reached through ultrashort electron pulses, which are shorter than the time scale of the motion. The shorter ...
Ultracold atoms used to verify 1963 prediction about 1D electrons
Sep 05, 2018 (SPX)
"Chipmakers have been shrinking feature sizes on microchips for decades, and device physicists are now exploring the use of nanowires and nanotubes where the ch...
The potential harbingers of new physics just don't want to disappear
Sep 04, 2018 (SPX)
In old times, when sailors ventured into unknown waters, the only thing they could really be sure about was the vastness of the empty ocean. On occasion, after ...
Scientists study single molecules with terahertz spectroscopy for the first time
Sep 04, 2018 (UPI)
Spectroscopy is the study of the interactions between light and matter. Most frequently, scientists use infrared light or X-rays to investigate atomic and molec...
Higgs particle favorite daughter comes home
Aug 31, 2018 (SPX)
Physicists at Princeton University led one of the two main teams that announced the detection of the Higgs particle via its decay into two particles called bott...
What actually is nothing
Aug 30, 2018 (The Conversation)
This may sound straightforward, but experiments show that empty space isn't really empty - there's a mysterious energy latent in it which can tell us something ...
Scientists observe decay of Higgs boson particle into two bottom quarks
Aug 28, 2018 (UPI)
Models predict Higgs boson particles decay into two bottom quarks 60 percent of the time. Bottom quarks, or b quarks, are the second heaviest of the six types o...
Excited atoms throw light on anti-hydrogen research
Aug 27, 2018 (SPX)
The scientists were working as part of the ALPHA collaboration which is made up of researchers and groups from over a dozen institutions from all over the world...
Researchers succeed in imaging quantum events
Aug 24, 2018 (SPX)
Phase transitions are present in our day-to-day life, starting from the water boiling for our morning coffee to the melting of an ice cube in our drink. In thes...
Light from ancient quasars helps confirm quantum entanglement
Aug 24, 2018 (SPX)
Take, for instance, two particles sitting on opposite edges of the universe. If they are truly entangled, then according to the theory of quantum mechanics thei...
Laser breakthrough has physicists close to cooling down antimatter
Aug 23, 2018 (SPX)
"The Lyman-alpha transition is the most basic, important transition in regular hydrogen atoms, and to capture the same phenomenon in antihydrogen opens up a new...
Artificial intelligence helps scientists track particles
Aug 23, 2018 (UPI)
The ability to precisely track individual particles is essential to the study of human disease and potential remedies. Improved particle-tracking software can h...
Quantum bugs, meet your new swatter
Aug 22, 2018 (SPX)
Anastasios Kyrillidis, an assistant professor of computer science who joined Rice this year, led the development of a nonconventional method as a diagnostic too...
Astronomers identify some of the oldest galaxies in the universe
Aug 20, 2018 (SPX)
Scientists working on this research have described the finding as "hugely exciting" explaining that that finding some of the Universe's earliest galaxies orbiti...
Physicists improve simulations of quantum particles, systems
Aug 20, 2018 (UPI)
Quantum physics, or quantum theory, is the study of the behavior of individual subatomic particles. The study of quantum mechanics has revealed the tremendous c...
MSU astronomers discovered supermassive black hole in an ultracompact dwarf galaxy
Aug 17, 2018 (SPX)
"We have discovered a supermassive black hole in the center of Fornax UCD3. The black hole mass is 3.5 million that of the Sun, similar to the central black hol...
Unraveling the nature of 'whistlers' from space in the lab
Aug 16, 2018 (SPX)
This first-of-its-kind study, appearing in the Physics of Plasmas, from AIP Publishing, provides new insights into the nature of whistlers and space plasmas - r...
