Researchers Explore Interplay of Various Dynamic Mechanisms Affecting Number of Stars in Galaxy

Scientists from MIPT, the University of Oxford, and the Lebedev Physical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences estimated the number of stars disrupted by solitary supermassive black holes in galactic centers formed due to mergers of galaxies containing supermassive black holes.

Cell Phone Network Could Help Astronomers Search for Fast Radio Bursts

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are brief spurts of radio emission, lasting just one-thousandth of a second, whose origins are mysterious. Fewer than two dozen have been identified in the past decade using giant radio telescopes such as the 1,000-foot dish in Arecibo, Puerto Rico.

University of Utah Mathematicians Explore How Disturbances Interact with Dynamic Space-Time Fabric

University of Utah mathematicians propose a theoretical framework to understand how waves and other disturbances move through materials in conditions that vary in both space and time. The theory, called "field patterns," published today in Proceedings of the Royal Society A.

Researchers Describe New Method to Heal Diamond Nanocrystals Under High-Temperature Conditions

Quantum mechanics, the physics that governs nature at the atomic and subatomic scale, contains a host of new physical phenomena to explore quantum states at the nanoscale. Though tricky, there are ways to exploit these inherently fragile and sensitive systems for quantum sensing.

New Findings Could Help Explain Phoenix Cluster's Exceptional Star-Producing Power

The Phoenix cluster is an enormous accumulation of about 1,000 galaxies, located 5.7 billion light years from Earth. At its center lies a massive galaxy, which appears to be spitting out stars at a rate of about 1,000 per year.

Researchers Successfully Detect Two-Fold Symmetry of Superconductivity in SrxBi2Se3

The study on topological superconductors (TSCs) is one of the hotspots in the field of condensed matter physics and has drawn great attention. Recently, Prof. Hai-Hu Wen's group from Nanjing University succeeds in detecting the two-fold symmetry of the superconductivity in SrxBi2Se3, which provides new evidence for the argument that SrxBi2Se3 is a TSC.

ETH Physicists Create New Method of Data Categorisation

Theoretical physicists from ETH Zurich deliberately misled intelligent machines, and thus refined the process of machine learning. They created a new method that allows computers to categorise data – even when humans have no idea what this categorisation might look like.

Machine Learning Algorithms May Play Vital Role in Identifying Different Phases of Condensed Matter

A machine learning algorithm designed to teach computers how to recognize photos, speech patterns, and hand-written digits has now been applied to a vastly different set of data: identifying phase transitions between states of matter.
