A Michigan State University researcher saw X-rays coming from a black hole using the NASA Chandra X-Ray Observatory telescope.
A team of physicists have discovered a new approach that redefines the conception of a black hole by mapping out their detailed structure, as shown in a research study recently published in Journal of High Energy Physics.
Each day, a human adult loses on average 50 to 70 billion cells, which die from natural causes alone. New cells replace lost ones by the complex process of cell division, which relies on what scientists call molecular machines ...
An invention from Twente improves the quality of light particles (photons) to such an extent that building quantum computers based on light becomes cheaper and more practical. The researchers published their research in the ...
The "music" of starquakes—enormous vibrations caused by bursting bubbles of gas that ripple throughout the bodies of many stars—can reveal far more information about the stars' histories and inner workings than scientists ...
The great Russian physicist and Nobel laureate Lev Landau once remarked that "cosmologists are often in error, but never in doubt." In studying the history of the universe itself, there is always a chance that we have got ...
One of the first things parents want to ask their children after school is "how was your day?" We simply want to know how they are going and what happened at school.
In the final episode of Netflix's harrowing miniseries, "Adolescence," the parents of Jamie Miller—the 13-year-old boy accused of killing a girl at his school that precipitates the events of the show—grapple with the ...
A key objective of ongoing research rooted in molecular physics is to understand and precisely control chemical reactions at very low temperatures. At low temperatures, the chemical reactions between charged particles (i.e., ...
The melting of crystals is the process by which an increase in temperature induces the disruption of the ordered crystalline lattice, leading to the disordered structure and highly fluctuating dynamic behavior of liquids. ...
