Scientists Identify the Largest-Ever Sample of Galaxy Clusters

Galaxy clusters, the most enormous gravitationally bound systems found in the universe, include a huge number of galaxies and lots of dark matter and gas.

Researchers Detect New Exoplanet Revolving Around Red Dwarf Star

In the recent past, red dwarf stars have been thoroughly studied to detect exoplanets orbiting around them.

Experiments Shatter the Dream of Quantum Spin Liquids

When temperatures drop below zero degrees Celsius, water turns to ice. But does everything actually freeze if you just cool it down enough- In the classical picture, matter inherently becomes solid at low temperatures. Quantum mechanics can, however, break this rule.

New NASA Visualization Traces How Binary Black Holes Distort and Redirect Light

A pair of orbiting black holes millions of times the Sun's mass perform a hypnotic pas de deux in a new NASA visualization. The movie traces how the black holes distort and redirect light emanating from the maelstrom of hot gas - called an accretion disk - that surrounds each one.

Physicists Observe Critical Point in Quantum Magnets Similar to That of Water

In physics, things exist in "phases", such as solid, liquid, gas. When something crosses from one phase to another, we talk about a "phase transition" - think about water boiling into steam, turning from liquid to gas.

Study Reveals Unobserved Structures, Impact of Black Hole on its Surroundings

The first-ever image of a black hole—the supermassive black hole found at the core of the M87 galaxy—was captured by an international collaboration of researchers in 2019 by using a worldwide collection of radio telescopes known as the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT).
