  Baltimore MD (SPX) Feb 16, 2023 Astronomers have revealed the latest deep field image from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, featuring never-before-seen details in a region of space known as Pandora's Cluster (Abell 2744). Webb's view displays three clusters of galaxies - already massive - coming together to form a megacluster. The combined mass of the galaxy clusters creates a powerful gravitational lens, a natural magnification effect of gravity, allowing much more distant galaxies in the early universe to be observed by using the ... read more |

 Vienna, Austria (SPX) Feb 08, 2023 
In the world around us processes appear to follow a certain time-direction: dandelions eventually turn into blowballs. However, the quantum realm does not play by the same rules. Physicists from the University of Vienna and IQOQI Vienna have now shown that for certain quantum systems the time-direction of processes can be reversed. This demonstration of a so-called rewinding protocol has been pu ... more |
