UTA scientists explore quantum aspects of gravity using neutrinos
Los Angeles CA (SPX) May 03, 2024 Einstein's theory of general relativity describes gravity as a result of space and time curving. This theory accounts for the Earth's gravity, which anchors us and causes objects to fall. In contrast, high-energy physics investigates subatomic particles that follow the principles of quantum mechanics, notable for their random fluctuations and the inherent uncertainty in particle positions and energies. For years, efforts have been underway to merge these two scientific realms into a singular ... read more |

LIGO surpasses the quantum limit
Boston MA (SPX) Oct 24, 2023 In 2015, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, or LIGO, made history when it made the first direct detection of gravitational waves, or ripples in space and time, produced by a pair of colliding black holes. Since then, the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded LIGO and its sister detector in Europe, Virgo, have detected gravitational waves from dozens of mergers between black holes as well as from collisions between a related class of stellar remnants called neutron stars. At ... read more 
NASA Tank Venting in Microgravity ChallengeWashington DC (SPX) Oct 13, 2023 As space travel extends to greater duration and distance, missions may require a propellant refill in space. To achieve this, spacecraft may require larger tanks and efficient refueling along with t ... more |
