The Search for Room Temperature Superconductors Just Got a Huge AI Boost
YRu3B2 and LuRu3B2 gain their superconductivity from electrons forming flat bands in a kagome lattice, named after a…
A supermassive black hole in a distant galaxy cluster has erupted after approximately 100 million years of complete silence, unleashing a jet of magnetised plasma across nearly a million light-years of space in what the astronomers who observed it have described as a cosmic volcano coming back to life after ages of calm
Every large galaxy in the observable universe is thought to host a supermassive black hole at its centre.…
In January 2025, the loudest gravitational wave ever recorded hid a second signal nobody knew how to read — and a decade after the first detection, it has just given physicists the spin rate of a black hole’s event horizon
The signal arrived at LIGO on January 14, 2025. Two laser beams running down 4-kilometer vacuum tubes in…
