Strange metals have surprising connections to high-temperature superconductors and black holes. Even by the standards of quantum physicists, strange metals are just plain odd. The…
Intense radio emissions produced by the fast-spinning stars are caused by newborn particles interacting with powerful electromagnetic fields, new plasma simulations suggest. When Jocelyn Bell…
Machine learning techniques accurately calculate the energy required to make — or break — simple molecules. A new machine learning tool can calculate the energy…
Gravitational wave ‘tones’ detected following the merger of two black holes confirm the decades-old ‘no-hair theory’ of black hole properties. For the first time, astrophysicists…
Astronomers have spotted a distant pair of titanic black holes headed for a collision. Each black hole’s mass is more than 800 million times that…
An international team of astronomers has discovered an ancient and dramatic head-on collision between the Milky Way and a smaller object, dubbed the “Sausage” galaxy….
A New survey of fast-spinning pulsar stars offers a better estimate of when astronomers will first detect gravitational waves from merging supermassive black holes. Astronomers…
