Hands-On Tests at Sandia’s Z Machine Contradict Black Hole Models
Hands-on experiments performed at Sandia National Laboratories’ Z machine contradict a long-standing but unproven assumption about the X-ray spectra of black holes. Z, the most…

New experiments confirm theory of “superballistic” electron flow, revealing how electrons behave like particles in a viscous fluid to help bunches of electrons squeeze through…
New research suggests that the “swimmers” of the natural world — from ships at sea to microorganisms floating through the bloodstream to ubiquitous quantum particles…
Using a mechanical trick, scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg have found a way to narrow the spectrum of the…
Physicists have now come up with a new theory on how dark matter may have been formed, proposing an alternative to the WIMP paradigm. Only…
Using ultracold molecules made of just two atoms, researchers from MIT demonstrate a new approach that yields long-lasting configurations that could provide long-sought “qubit” material….
New research from UCLA provides the clearest evidence yet of the long-sought Majorana particle and could provide the vehicle for carrying ‘qubits’ of data in…
Mathematicians reveal a unique property of quantum mechanical particles – they can move in the opposite way to the direction in which they are being…
Physicists have created one precondition for using quantum cryptography to communicate over large distances as well without any risk of interception. What started out as…
Scientists from MIT have created in simulations the first system in which particles — ranging from roughly molecule to bacteria-sized — can be manipulated by…
In a newly published study, researchers from Stockholm University detail the discovery that water can exist as two different liquids at low temperatures. We normally…
By successfully simulated the conditions around black holes using a specially designed water bath, a team of astronomers has made a significant leap forward in…
A newly published study from the Max Planck Institute shows that quantum systems can synchronize through self-organization, without any external control. As if by magic,…
A new study shows that electrons passing through a narrow constriction in a piece of metal can move much faster than expected, and that they…
NASA scientists plan to create the coolest spot in the universe at the International Space Station by freezing gas atoms to a mere billionth of…
OLYMPUS experiment sheds light on structure of protons, revealing that two photons, not one, are exchanged in electron-proton interactions. A mystery concerning the structure of…
Researchers from Yale University are using a new detection device to search for dark matter in the form of axions, a theorized subatomic particle that…
