Study Identifies Culprits behind Radio Emissions in Radio-Quiet Quasars

Mini-jets of material ejected from a central supermassive black hole appear to be the culprits behind faint radio wave emissions in ‘radio-quiet’ quasars. A study of gravitationally-lensed images of four radio-quiet quasars has revealed the structure of these distant galaxies in unprecedented detail.

Scientists Discover Some Characteristics of Ring-Shaped Topological Insulator Surfaces

Topological insulators behave like insulators at their core and allow good conductivity on their surface. They owe their characteristics to a new quantum state within the material discovered in 2007 and 2009 for 2D and 3D materials, respectively.

Researchers Demonstrate the Use of Personal Computers to Solve Complex Quantum Mechanics Equations More Rapidly than Supercomputers

Physicists from the Skobeltsyn Institute of Nuclear Physics, the Lomonosov Moscow State University, have learned to utilize personal computers for calculating complex quantum mechanics equations, which are usually solved only with the assistance of supercomputers. This PC could perform the job much more rapidly. These findings have been reported in the journal Computer Physics Communications.
