Researchers Simulate Lattice Gauge Theories in a Quantum Computer to Understand Fundamental Processes

The primary building blocks of matter are the elementary particles, whose properties are explained in the Standard Model of particle physics. An advanced step in confirming the Standard Model was the finding of the Higgs boson in 2012 at the CERN.

Shredded Star’s X-Ray Echoes Offer a Peek at Monster Black Hole

About 3.9 billion years ago, a star that passed close to a monster black hole was shredded by the hole’s intense tidal pull. On March 28, 2011 the X-rays generated during this event first reached Earth, and NASA's Swift satellite was able to detect them and alerted astronomers located in various parts of the world.

Researchers Use ALMA to Study Feeding Habits of Supermassive Black Hole

Utilizing the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), one of the most powerful telescopes in the world, U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) astrophysicist Dr. Tracy Clarke and an international team of researchers have peered into the feeding habits of a supermassive black hole and witnessed the first evidence of a new diet.

Discovery of Nebula Wind Surrounding Magnetrar Opens Avenues for Understanding Magnetrars

A massive cloud of high-energy particles known as a wind nebula was discovered for the first time by astronomers, around a rare ultra-magnetic neutron star called magnetar. This discovery gives an insight into the environment, properties and outburst history of magnetars - the strongest magnets in the world.

Astronomers Discover Youngest Known Hot Star and Exoplanets Around it

Exoplanets referred to as 'hot Jupiters' have mystified astronomers for the past two decades. These giant planets have increased surface temperatures as they orbit 100 times nearer to their host stars than Jupiter does to the Sun. The question is how and when they shifted so close to their star.

Scientists Reach Important Milestone on Road to Replace Standard Kilogram

In a secure vault in the suburbs of Paris, an egg-sized cylinder of metal sits in a climate-controlled room under three glass bell jars. It is the mass against which all other masses in the world are measured -- by definition the quintessential kilogram.

New Study Could Assist in Mitigating Effects of Severe Space Weather

The magnetosphere of the Earth protects it from the aggressive battering of the solar wind. It is almost like a protective shield that soaks up and deflects plasma from the solar wind coming from the Sun. The magnetosphere is the region of space where the Earth's magnetic field exists. Stunning dancing auroral displays are produced when conditions are perfect.
