The observations were conducted as part of a Shadow the Scientists session, an outreach program that connects students and the public with astronomers during…
Quasars, identified in the 1960s, rank among the brightest known cosmic sources and are powered by supermassive black holes that draw in surrounding matter.
Laser control of atomic electron shells has been standard since the 1960s and underpins optical atomic clocks and many quantum information platforms.
Active galactic nuclei are periods when supermassive black holes at the center of galaxies accrete surrounding matter and gas and emit intense radiation.
The VR application is tightly aligned with the JUNO detector's geometric descriptions and event records generated by offline software.
Given that both planets are similar in many ways - they are roughly the same size and made from the same gaseous elements - the stark difference in their polar weather patterns has been a longstanding mystery.
Many quantum optics laboratories generate entangled photons through spontaneous parametric downconversion, which naturally entangles the spatial degrees of freedom of light.
The team stacked a monolayer of the two dimensional semiconductor tungsten diselenide (WSe2) with a layer of the organic semiconductor PTCDA and investigated how the combined system responds to light.
The explosion, designated SN in GRB 250314A, was first identified on March 14, 2025 as a bright burst of high-energy radiation detected by the space-based…
Fast radio bursts are powerful millisecond flashes of radio emission that arrive from distant galaxies and typically show nearly 100 percent linear polarisation.
SPHEREx, which stands for Spectro-Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization, and Ices Explorer, surveys the sky from Earth orbit about…
Schutzhold notes that gravity acts on all forms of energy, including electromagnetic radiation, so light and gravitational waves should influence each other when they cross.
To investigate the interiors of Uranus and Neptune, the team created a new framework for modeling planetary structure that combines physically motivated equations with a flexible numerical procedure.
Dust and rock collected from the asteroid Bennu contained many of life's building blocks, including all five nucleobases used in DNA and RNA, 14 of the 20 amino acids found in proteins, and a rich collection of other organic molecules.
The approach relies on the rare isotope thorium-229, which must be extracted from weapons-grade uranium, leaving an estimated global supply of only about 40 grams for research and potential devices.
Ten years ago, China announced its intention to build the Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC), which at 100 kilometres (62 miles) long would be the world's largest particle accelerator.
