New observations and analysis reveal two Goliath black holes just 750 light-years apart and closing, as they circle each other in the aftermath of a…
New ultra-precise measurements reveal the orbital path of exoplanet 55 Cancri e (55 Cnc e), a scorchingly hot super-Earth closely circling a distant star. New…
A new method for simulating quantum entanglement between interacting particles has been developed by physicists. Physicists are (temporarily) augmenting reality in order to crack the…
Scientists trained a machine learning tool to capture the physics of electrons moving on a lattice using far fewer equations than would typically be required,…
Physicists demonstrated a way of storing quantum information that is less prone to errors by subjecting a quantum computer’s qubits to quasi-rhythmic laser pulses based…
Largest-ever simulations suggest flickering powered by magnetic ‘reconnection.’ Researchers at the Flatiron Institute and their collaborators found that breaking and reconnecting magnetic field lines near…
“Quantum friction” slows water flow through carbon nanotubes, resolving long-standing fluid dynamics mystery. For 15 years, scientists have been baffled by the mysterious way water…
‘Geometric frustration’ can cause the electrons in materials with atoms arranged in a triangular pattern to organize in three competing ways simultaneously, reveals a new…
Studying data from the Kepler space telescope, Flatiron Institute researchers found that planetary shrinkage over billions of years likely explains a yearslong mystery: The scarcity…
