ESO's VLT Survey Telescope Captures Spectacular Image of Orion Nebula Cluster

Using new observations from ESO’s VLT Survey Telescope, astronomers have discovered three different populations of young stars within the Orion Nebula Cluster. This unexpected discovery adds very valuable new insights for the understanding of how such clusters form.

New Way to Measure Robustness of Quantum Coherence of a Superimposed State

One of the main principles of quantum mechanics is the superposition of states. Systems are simultaneously in different states, i.e. "alive and dead" at the same time such as Schrödinger's cat, until someone measures them and the system opts for one of the possibilities.

New Numerical Simulations Help Scientists Reveal Secret of Magnetic Cycles in Stars

Using new numerical simulations and observations, scientists may now be able to explain why the Sun's magnetic field reverses every eleven years.

ASU astronomers Use Dark Energy Camera to Find Young Galaxies that Appeared After the Big Bang

ASU astronomers Sangeeta Malhotra and James Rhoads, working with international teams in Chile and China, have discovered 23 young galaxies, seen as they were 800 million years after the Big Bang. The results from this sample have been recently published in the Astrophysical Journal.

New Discovery Could Help Scientists Unravel Mystery of High-Temperature Superconductors

The perfect performance of superconductors could revolutionize everything from grid-scale power infrastructure to consumer electronics, if only they could be coerced into operating above frigid temperatures.

Astrophysicists Reveal that Half of Matter in Milky Way Galaxy Comes from Distant Galaxies

In a first-of-its-kind analysis, Northwestern University astrophysicists have discovered that, contrary to previously standard lore, up to half of the matter in our Milky Way galaxy may come from distant galaxies. As a result, each one of us may be made in part from extragalactic matter.

Astronomers Capture Unprecedented Detail of Gamma-Ray Burst to Date

Gamma-ray bursts are among the most energetic and explosive events in the universe. They are also short-lived, lasting from a few milliseconds to about a minute. This has made it tough for astronomers to observe a gamma-ray burst in detail.

Researchers Develop an Aligned Ensemble of Quantum Sensors

Envision a sensor capable of detecting changes in the proton concentration of a single protein, inside a single cell, due to its extreme sensitivity. This level of understanding would expose elusive quantum-scale dynamics of that protein’s function, possibly even in real time, but will need a sensor with controllable features at a similar scale.

Kansas State University Scientists Aim to Address Big Questions About Dark Matter

A large international team of researchers -- including Kansas State University scientists -- is turning to tiny particles to address big questions about dark matter, black holes and the origins of the universe.
