Scientists at NASA have discovered the closest confirmed pair of supermassive black holes, located about 300 light-years apart, using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and Hubble Space Telescope. These black holes are situated deep within two colliding galaxies.
In a study published in Nature Communications, physicists at the University of Southampton tested and proved a 50-year-old concept for the first time using electro-magnetic waves.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced $65 million in funding in quantum computing for 10 projects, comprising a total of 38 separate awards.
Before quantum computers can solve complex problems, researchers must develop technologies that manage larger numbers of qubits (the building blocks of quantum computers) for extended periods.
This article reviews advancements in quantum communication technologies, specifically joint detection receivers (JDRs) and entanglement-assisted (EA) communication.

Researchers from the Nevada Center for Astrophysics at UNLV (NCfA) have found strong evidence in a study published in Nature Astronomy that suggests Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy, is most likely the product of a previous cosmic merger.
A recent study conducted by Rice University’s Qimiao Si has discovered a new type of quantum critical metal, providing insight into electron interactions inside quantum materials.
Radioactivity is all around us. Even bananas contain trace amounts of radioactive potassium, with approximately 10 nuclei decaying every second in a typical banana. While these tiny amounts of radioactivity are not dangerous, scientists are interested in developing more precise tools for detecting such nuclear decays.
In a recent study published in the journal Nature Astronomy, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign provided new insights into how dissipative tidal forces within binary neutron star systems will enhance the understanding of the universe.
In two-dimensional quantum materials, chiral edge states are one-dimensional conducting channels through which electrons travel in one direction only, like cars on a one-way road. This is because chirality is a special form of asymmetry. Imagine a material like a sheet of paper.
Research reveals that quantum-enhanced photoprotection in tryptophan networks within microtubules, actin filaments, and amyloid fibrils demonstrates robust quantum yields despite static disorder.
