Wild Experiment Reveals Quantum Objects Do Obey Gravity
Quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity explain how the Universe works at the tiniest and largest scales, respectively.…
Nuclear reactor simulations advance with new quantum transport method
Physicists modeling nuclear systems have long faced a basic computing problem: particles do not move through neat, uniform…
Pulsar Timing Arrays Could Look for Evidence of Dark Matter Stars
Pulsars are incredibly precise cosmic clocks. So precise that we can use them to measure subtle changes in…
Scientists solve ‘mystery-signal’ hidden in quantum material
Researchers at the Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) and the Gwangju Institute of Science and…

Scientists Find a New Way To Hear the Faint “Ringing” of Black Holes
When two black holes collide and merge, they release gravitational waves. These waves can be detected by sensitive…
A newly found star circles the Milky Way’s central black hole every 8.7 years and passes it at about 25,000 kilometres a second, more than 8 percent of the speed of light, and the pass is so close that its discoverers say there is a fair chance of measuring the hole’s spin within a decade
A faint point of light showed up 15 milliarcseconds northwest of Sagittarius A* in the spring of 2023,…
