Researchers Use Theoretical Simplification Method to Explore "Strong Force"

The “strong force” plays a crucial role for the existence of matter in the visible universe. Scientists at TU Darmstadt are carrying out research in that field and recently published their results in “Physical Review Letters”. To describe the processes in the nucleus they used a method of theoretical simplification which might be applicable to heavier nuclei.

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope Captures a Vermin Galaxy

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope is famous for its jaw-dropping snapshots of the cosmos. At first glance this Picture of the Week appears to be quite the opposite, showing just a blur of jagged spikes, speckled noise, and weird, clashing colors — but once you know what you are looking at, images like this one are no less breathtaking.

Researchers Aim to Identify Cosmic Environments that Spawn Colliding Black Holes

Astrophysicists everywhere are thrilled about yesterday's news that the LIGO experiment has detected its third set of gravitational waves. Predicted more than a century ago by Albert Einstein, and finally detected by LIGO for the first time in 2015, gravitational waves have opened an entirely new way of observing the universe's most violent events.

Researchers Observe Intriguing Oscillatory Back-and-Forth Motion of a Quantum Particle

In the quantum world, our intuition for moving objects is strongly challenged and may sometimes even completely fail. Experimental physicists of the University of Innsbruck in collaboration with theorists from Munich, Paris and Cambridge have found a quantum particle which shows an intriguing oscillatory back-and-forth motion in a one-dimensional atomic gas.

Muon g-2 Experiment Begins Search for Phantom Particles with Electromagnet

What do you get when you revive a beautiful 20-year-old physics machine, carefully transport it 3,200 miles over land and sea to its new home, and then use it to probe strange happenings in a magnetic field? Hopefully you get new insights into the elementary particles that make up everything.

Quantum Rotations Could Mimic Classical Rotations, Say Researchers

In molecules there are certain groups of atoms that are able to rotate. This movement occurs under the influence of random stimuli from the environment and is not continuous but occurs in jumps. It is generally believed that such jumps occur in a manner that is typical of classical objects, such as a fan blade prodded by a finger.

Astronomers Seek Help from Public to Identify New Baby Galaxies in Distant Universe

A new citizen science project, led by astronomers at the University of Minnesota, is asking volunteers to help them with web classifications of galaxy spectra to find “baby” galaxies that are giving birth to new stars.
