New Findings Challenge Older Ideas About Water Dynamics

For more than 100 years, scientists have debated what the underlying molecular structure of water is, and the common view has been that H2O molecules are either “water-like” or “ice-like.”

NASA’s Van Allen Probes Provide New Insights into Radiation Belts

About 600 miles from Earth’s surface is the first of two donut-shaped electron swarms, known as the Van Allen Belts, or the radiation belts. Understanding the shape and size of the belts, which can shrink and swell in response to incoming radiation from the sun, is crucial for protecting our technology in space.

Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics Develops Measuring System for Infrared Light

Those who want to explore the microcosm need exact control over laser light. Only with its help is it possible to explore electron motion and to influence their behavior.

First Experimental Observations of Knots in Quantum Matter

Knot solitons, or knotted solitary waves, have been successfully created in a quantum-mechanical field that describes a gas of superfluid atoms, known as Bose-Einstein condensate.

ALMA Traces Motion of Ionized Carbon Atoms Between Stars of Quasar W2246-0526

Quasars are distant galaxies that have supermassive black holes in their cores. The black holes are active and emit strong jets of radiation and particles. Quasars are highly energetic bodies and most of them shine bright, though a small fraction are known as Hot, Dust-Obscured Galaxies, or Hot DOGs - a rare type of Quasar. This unusual behavior is also found in the galaxy WISE J224607.57-052635.0, the most luminous galaxy in the universe.

Astronomers Discover Super-Luminous Supernova

A team of astronomers, including Carnegie’s Benjamin Shappee, Nidia Morrell, and Ian Thompson, has discovered the most-luminous supernova ever observed, called ASAS-SN-15lh. Their findings are published in Science.

New Observation Could Challenge Current Understanding of Pulsars

The Crab Nebula is the remnant of a supernova explosion that was observed on Earth in the year 1054. The neutron star has a diameter of just around ten kilometers and rotates around its own axis approximately 30 times per second.

New Theory of Secondary Inflation Helps Avoid Overestimation of Dark Matter Quantity

Standard cosmology—that is, the Big Bang Theory with its early period of exponential growth known as inflation—is the prevailing scientific model for our universe, in which the entirety of space and time ballooned out from a very hot, very dense point into a homogeneous and ever-expanding vastness.
