“Astronomers have spotted three giant black holes within a titanic collision of three galaxies. The unusual system was captured by several observatories, including three NASA space telescopes. “We were only looking for pairs of black holes at the time, and …
“FAST has superior sensitivity to detect cosmic phenomena, including fast radio bursts and pulsars. The world’s largest single-dish radio observatory is preparing to open to astronomers around the world, ushering in an era of exquisitely sensitive observations that could …
“A Google researcher’s paper claiming to have achieved quantum supremacy, a major early milestone in the field of quantum computing, appeared on a NASA website this week before being removed, the Financial Times reports. Google, as well as IBM …
“The nighttime events are among initial results from the InSight lander, which also found hints that the red planet may host a global reservoir of liquid water deep below the surface. AT MIDNIGHT ON Mars, the red planet’s magnetic …
“This new visualization of a black hole illustrates how its gravity distorts our view, warping its surroundings as if seen in a carnival mirror. The visualization simulates the appearance of a black hole where infalling matter has collected into a …
“When Apollo 11’s lunar module, Eagle, landed on the Moon on July 20, 1969, it first flew over an area littered with boulders before touching down at the Sea of Tranquility. The site had been selected based on photos …
“A University of Queensland-led international team of researchers say they have discovered “a new kind of quantum time order”. UQ physicist Dr Magdalena Zych said the discovery arose from an experiment the team designed to bring together elements of the …
“When a thin layer of water is squeezed between two hydrophobic surfaces, the laws of classical physics break down. From raindrops rolling off the waxy surface of a waterlily leaf, to the efficiency of desalination membranes, interactions between water molecules …
“Researchers integrate diamond-based sensing components onto a chip to enable low-cost, high-performance quantum hardware. MIT researchers have, for the first time, fabricated a diamond-based quantum sensor on a silicon chip. The advance could pave the way toward low-cost, scalable hardware …
“New technique enables implantation of individual ions into crystals with an accuracy of 35 nanometers Modern electronics is based on doped semiconductors. To synthesize electronic components, dopant atoms such as aluminum or phosphorus are embedded into crystals of ultrapure silicon …
