An international team of astronomers has performed high-cadence optical monitoring of an active galaxy known as Markarian 1018. Results of the observational campaign, published July 26 on the pre-print server arXiv, shed ...
In the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), proton and lead beams travel close to the speed of light. They carry a strong electromagnetic field that acts like a flux of photons as the beam moves through the accelerator. When the ...
