A Pair of White Dwarfs Locked in a Six-Minute Orbit Might One Day Be Observed By Gravitational Waves
Current gravitational wave observatories aren’t sensitive enough to capture the gravitational waves of binary stars. They can only…
Fusion in the Sun’s core releases neutrinos and high-energy photons together: a neutrino can reach the surface in about two seconds, while the photons’ energy may take roughly 170,000 years to escape after countless scatterings, absorptions and re-emissions.
The sunlight arriving at Earth this moment left the Sun’s visible surface a little over eight minutes ago.…
Astronomers confirm Einstein’s gravity by viewing light from behind a supermassive black hole
Astronomers detected delayed X-ray flashes consistent with light reflected from the far side of an accretion disk and…
In 1879, Edwin Hall discovered an electrical effect thought to need a perpendicular magnetic field; 147 years later, scientists have shown it can work with the field in-plane
An atomic force microscopy scan of a nanometer-sized device developed by Carnegie Mellon scientists that demonstrates a new…
Woster: When a high school physics story sticks for life – Mitchell Republic
Back in high school, probably in a physics class although I can’t be certain, Howard Elrod told us…
Astronomers already knew the Milky Way’s magnetic field reverses near the Sagittarius Arm, but a new 2026 three-dimensional model revealed the boundary’s unexpected shape: not a vertical wall between spiral arms, but a tilted magnetic plane slicing diagonally through the Galactic disc and passing just above our own region of space.
The Milky Way has a magnetic field, but no camera can step outside the Galaxy and photograph its…
Breakthrough Quantum Test Resolves a Major Cosmic Mystery
Welcome back to the Abstract! Here are the studies this week that transcended realms, switched sexes, went south,…
