Physics and Astronomy
This area deals with the fundamental laws and building blocks of nature and how they interact, the properties and the behavior of matter, and research into space and time and their structures.
innovations-report provides in-depth reports and articles on subjects such as astrophysics, laser technologies, nuclear, quantum, particle and solid-state physics, nanotechnologies, planetary research and findings (Mars, Venus) and developments related to the Hubble Telescope.
Breakthrough promises secure quantum computing at home
The full power of next-generation quantum computing could soon be harnessed by millions of individuals and companies, thanks to a breakthrough by scientists at Oxford University Physics guaranteeing security and…
Stellar winds of three sun-like stars detected for the first time
Astrophysicists were able to quantify the mass loss of stars via their stellar winds. An international research team led by a researcher from the University of Vienna has for the…
Next step towards the Moon
LZH and TU Berlin partner with Astrobotic. In the MOONRISE project, researchers are working to bring 3D printing to the Moon. The Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) has contracted with…
New method of measuring qubits promises ease of scalability in a microscopic package
Aalto University researchers are the first in the world to measure qubits with ultrasensitive thermal detectors—thus evading the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Chasing ever-higher qubit counts in near-term quantum computers constantly…
CSIRO telescope detects unprecedented behaviour from nearby magnetar
Researchers using Murriyang, CSIRO’s Parkes radio telescope, have detected unusual radio pulses from a previously dormant star with a powerful magnetic field. New results published today in Nature Astronomy describe…
Detection of remarkable gravitational-wave signal
Researchers from the University of Portsmouth’s Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation (ICG) have helped to detect a remarkable gravitational-wave signal, which could hold the key to solving a cosmic mystery….
