Large Hadron Collider is still on the hunt for short-lived quantum black holes and a theory of everything
When we think about black holes, we tend to imagine dominant cosmic titans that consume everything around them.…

How black holes can fuel star formation instead of shutting it down
Black holes can suppress star formation, but nine nearby galaxies reveal how their outflows could also help trigger…
Physicists find Einstein’s ‘spooky’ quantum effect inside Higgs boson decays
ATLAS physicists found strong evidence that pairs of massive Z bosons produced in Higgs decays emerge with entangled…
A New Helium Measurement Is Testing the Universe’s First Five Minutes
The research team focused on 15 of the most “pristine” small, remote galaxies ever discovered for these papers.…
Twenty-two years of X-ray timing suggest the disk around pulsar 4U 1626−67 may have flipped from rotating backward to forward in 2008, turning years of spin-down into spin-up — though the evidence remains indirect.
For decades, the ultracompact X-ray binary 4U 1626−67 has behaved like a machine that periodically changes gear. Its…
The Moon might soon host the craziest experiment in human history
What if we built a super-collider around the Moon? Somewhat surprisingly, scientists and engineers have indeed considered putting…
