New Quantum Microscope can Reveal Previously Impossible-to-See Biological Structures

In a major scientific leap, University of Queensland researchers have created a quantum microscope that can reveal biological structures that would otherwise be impossible to see.

Mauritius' First Nanosatellite has Reached the International Space Station

The first ever Mauritian nanosatellite MIR-SAT1 has docked at the International Space Station aboard SpaceX-CRS22 Cargo Dragon rocket on Saturday 5 June 2021.

Quantum Gravity Experimental System Could be Used to Detect Movements of Objects

Last year, Anupam Mazumdar, a physicist from the University of Groningen, jointly proposed an experiment together with colleagues from the UK that could conclusively prove whether gravity is a quantum phenomenon.

Scientists Resolve Mysteries Surrounding Origin of Aurora Borealis

The spectacularly colorful aurora borealis -- or northern lights -- that fills the sky in high-latitude regions has fascinated people for thousands of years.

Astronomers Complete First Census of Molecular Clouds in the Nearby Universe

A team of astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array has completed the first census of molecular clouds in the nearby Universe, revealing that contrary to previous scientific opinion, these stellar nurseries do not all look and act the same.

Research Group Discovers Dying Supermassive Black Hole via a 3,000-Year-Long Light Echo

Supermassive black holes occupy the center of galaxies, with masses ranging from one million to 10 billion solar masses.

A New Method to Spot the Whereabouts of Rare Extragalactic Objects

Astrophysicists from the University of Bath have developed a new method for pinpointing the whereabouts of extremely rare extragalactic objects.

Study Indicates the Existence of Axions in the Universe

According to a new study published in the Physical Review D journal on June 7th, 2021, identifying the hypothetical particle axion could mean identifying for the first time what exactly occurred in the Universe a second after the Big Bang.

Unusual Electron Behavior in a Quantum Material Could Lead to Heat Switches Without Moving Parts

Researchers have discovered a new electronic property at the frontier between the thermal and quantum sciences in a specially engineered metal alloy - and in the process identified a promising material for future devices that could turn heat on and off with the application of a magnetic "switch."

Generalizing the Measurement Postulate in Quantum Mechanics

Measurement postulate is crucial to quantum mechanics. If we measure a quantum system, we can only get one of the eigenvalues of the measured observable, such as position, energy and so on, with a probability.

A Stream of Stars in the Milky Way Extends At Least 1,600 Light-Years

It's hard to see more than a handful of stars from Princeton University, because the lights from New York City, Princeton and Philadelphia prevent our sky from ever getting pitch black, but stargazers who get into more rural areas can see hundreds of naked-eye stars -- and a few smudgy objects, too.

Researchers Determine the Mode of Formation and Development of Galactic Bulges

An international team of scientists led from the Centre for Astrobiology, with participation from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias, has used the Gran Telescopio Canarias to study a representative sample of galaxies, both disc and spheroidal, in a deep sky zone in the constellation of the Great Bear to characterize the properties of the stellar populations of galactic bulges.

Auroras are Produced by Powerful Electromagnetic Waves During Geomagnetic Storms

The aurora borealis, or northern lights, that fill the sky in high-latitude regions have fascinated people for thousands of years. But how they're created, while theorized, had not been conclusively proven.
