Ion experiment aces quantum scrambling test
Researchers at the Joint Quantum Institute (JQI) have implemented an experimental test for quantum scrambling, a chaotic shuffling of the information stored…
Merging neutron stars — How cosmic events give insight into fundamental properties of matter
Quarks, the smallest building-blocks of matter, never appear alone in nature. They are always tightly bound inside the protons and neutrons. However, neutron…
Lifting the veil on the black hole at the heart of our Galaxy
So far, a foggy cloud of hot gas has prevented astronomers from making sharp images of the supermassive black hole Sgr A* and causing doubt on its true nature….
Tel Aviv University-led team discovers new way supermassive black holes are 'fed'
Supermassive black holes weigh millions to billions times more than our sun and lie at the center of most galaxies. A supermassive black hole several million…
Hubble sees the brightest quasar in the early Universe
Astronomers using data from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have discovered the brightest quasar ever seen in the early Universe — the light received from…
Beyond Einstein
When stars collapse, they can create black holes, which are everywhere throughout the universe and therefore important to be studied. Black holes are…
