Using an instrument developed at the University of Michigan, scientists have taken close-up pictures of Epsilon Aurigae during its eclipse, which happens every…
For the first time, a team of astronomers has imaged the eclipse of the star Epsilon Aurigae by its mysterious, less luminous companion star. Very…
Galaxy clusters are made up of hundreds to thousands of galaxies held together by gravity, yet the visible mass of these galaxies accounts for only a fraction…
A collaboration of Russian and US physicists has finally created element 117 – a superheavy element made of atoms containing 117 protons that is roughly 40%…
Such a scenario in which the universe is born from inside a wormhole (also called an Einstein-Rosen Bridge) is suggested in a paper from Indiana University…
Carbon nanotubes, long touted for applications in materials and electronics, may also be the stuff of atomic-scale black holes.Physicists at Harvard University…
The novel design is a first attempt to systematically scale up from traps that hold a few ions in a few locations to large trap arrays that can process many…
NASA's Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope maps gamma rays, radiation that typically packs 100 billion times the energy of radio waves. Nevertheless, and to the…
The microcosm, the realm of quantum physics, is ruled by probability and chance. The behaviour of quantum particles cannot be predicted with certainty but only…
A new physical quantity of electrons—orbital angular momentum—has been generated by Masaya Uchida and Akira Tonomura at the RIKEN Advanced Science Institute in…
It’s a measure of the astonishing progress in nanotechnology that questions that once would have interested only physicists or chemists are now being asked by…
Max Mutchler, a research and instrument scientist at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Md., and Noreen Grice, president of You Can Do…
To help identify these colors and objects the James Webb Space Telescope will be using a spectrograph called NIRSpec. Recently, the engineering test unit for…
Particle physicists around the world are celebrating the new achievement and what it will mean to physics research, including progress in the hunt for dark…
New star formation is taking place within the ribbon of luminous and dark material that brackets V391 Velorum’s left in this perspective. After many millennia,…
Lorenz recently co-authored the Nature Photonics article, “Towards High-Speed Optical Quantum Memories,” with colleagues at the University of Oxford, where she…
