Novel approach to coherent control of a three-level quantum system

Aug 10, 2018 (SPX)

To this end, they used a novel nanostructure, in which a quantum system is integrated into a nanoscale mechanical oscillator in form of a diamond cantilever. Na...

Finding the happy medium of black holes

Aug 10, 2018 (SPX)

The new research comes from two separate studies, each using data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes. Black holes that contain between a...

Astronomers discover the most distant radio galaxy ever

Aug 10, 2018 (SPX)

The team used the Giant Meter-wave Radio Telescope (GMRT) in India to initially identify the radio galaxy. The distance to this galaxy was then determined using...

The universe's rate of expansion is in dispute - and we may need new physics to solve it

Aug 09, 2018 (The Conversation)

Since the Big Bang, the universe has been expanding. The strange fact is that there is no single place from which the universe is expanding, but rather all gala...

Black holes are fuzzy balls of string with an endless appetite for matter

Jul 31, 2018 (UPI)

Classical general relativity presents the black hole as an object with a horizon, beyond which nothing can escape. This dichotomy between something and nothing ...

Black holes really just ever-growing balls of string, researchers say

Jul 30, 2018 (SPX)

Some physicists have believed in a "firewall" around the perimeter of a black hole that would incinerate anything sucked into its powerful gravitational pull. B...
