Astronomers Identify Low-Mass Stars Close to Milky Way’s Supermassive Black Hole

At the center of our galaxy, in the immediate vicinity of its supermassive black hole, is a region wracked by powerful tidal forces and bathed in intense ultraviolet light and X-ray radiation. These harsh conditions, astronomers long surmised, do not favor star formation, especially low-mass stars like our sun.

Quantum Simulators Could Help Design New Materials with Exotic Conduction Properties

The special-purpose quantum computers called quantum simulators will help scientists in identifying materials with new, useful properties. Thanks to a recent collaboration between Google and scientists at universities in Greece, Singapore and California, this exciting future has just taken a step forward.

Gravitational Wave Experiments Could be Used to Test Existence of Primordial Black Holes

A new study published in Physical Review Letters outlines how scientists could use gravitational wave experiments to test the existence of primordial black holes, gravity wells formed just moments after the Big Bang that some scientists have posited could be an explanation for dark matter.

Study: Magnetic Field and Cosmic Rays Responsible for Star Formation Quenching

A study led by a researcher at the IAC and published today in Nature Astronomy points to the role of the magnetic field as responsible for decelerating the formation of massive stars in the center of galaxies. Without this process the Big Bang would be questioned.
