Newly Identified Multiple Stars can be Potential Candidates for Life-Supporting Worlds

Nearly 50 years ago, producers of the Star Wars had envisaged Tatooine—a life-sustaining planet—orbiting two stars.

First Entanglement-Based Quantum Network may Lead to Future Quantum Internet

QuTech researchers from the Netherlands have achieved the world’s first multi-node quantum network by linking three quantum processors.

Physicists Observe Critical Point in Quantum Magnets Similar to That of Water

In physics, things exist in "phases", such as solid, liquid, gas. When something crosses from one phase to another, we talk about a "phase transition" - think about water boiling into steam, turning from liquid to gas.

Study Reveals Unobserved Structures, Impact of Black Hole on its Surroundings

The first-ever image of a black hole—the supermassive black hole found at the core of the M87 galaxy—was captured by an international collaboration of researchers in 2019 by using a worldwide collection of radio telescopes known as the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT).

Fast-Spinning Black Holes Narrow the Search for Dark Matter Particles

Ultralight bosons are hypothetical particles whose mass is predicted to be less than a billionth the mass of an electron. They interact relatively little with their surroundings and have thus far eluded searches to confirm their existence.

Capturing Real-Time Movement of Atoms may Lead to Better Quantum Technology Devices

Using a method similar to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), scientists have tracked the real-time movement of individual atoms as they combine together to create 2D materials, which have a thickness of just one atom.

Bubbles Enhance the Speed of Energy Transfer Between Atoms

Energy flows through a system of atoms or molecules by a series of processes such as transfers, emissions, or decay.

Scientists Visualize 2D Superconductivity Emerging Within a 3D Unconventional Superconductor

Creating a two-dimensional material, just a few atoms thick, is often an arduous process requiring sophisticated equipment.

Chemically Rich Young Protoplanetary Disks have Similar Organic Molecule Compositions

Scientists investigated the chemical composition of 50 protoplanetary-disk forming regions found in the Perseus Molecular Cloud and discovered that although the regions are in the same cloud, the amounts of their constituent complex organic molecules differ considerably.

Study Finds X-Ray Surges Accompanying Radio Bursts from Crab Nebula Pulsar

X-ray surges that accompany radio bursts from the pulsar in the Crab Nebula have been discovered by a universal science collaboration with the help of data from NASA’s Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) telescope on the International Space Station.
