First Generation of Stars Could Lurk Within Brightest Galaxy in the Early Universe

Astronomers using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) have discovered by far the brightest galaxy yet found in the early universe and found strong evidence that examples of the first generation of stars lurk within it.

VLA Helps Detect Long-Sought Radio Emission from Supermassive Black Hole in Neighboring Galaxy

Thanks to the extraordinary sensitivity of the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA), astronomers have detected what they believe is the long-sought radio emission coming from a supermassive black hole at the center of one of our closest neighboring galaxies. Evidence for the black hole's existence previously came only from studies of stellar motions in the galaxy and from X-ray observations.

Theoretical Prediction of Existence of New Quantum Matter

Finland's Aalto University researchers have succeeded to predict, in theory, that superconducting surfaces can become topological superconductors when magnetic iron atoms are deposited on the surface in a regular pattern. They used the latest mathematical and physical models to predict the existence of a topological superconducting state on metallic superconducting surfaces and thin films. The results were recently published in the Physics Review Letters science journal.

Black Holes May Not Necessarily Be Ruthless Killers

According to the professor of physics at The Ohio State University, the recently proposed idea that black holes have “firewalls” that destroy all they touch has a loophole.

Slowing Down of Time Could Explain Transition from Quantum Behavior to Classical World

In 1915 Albert Einstein formulated the theory of general relativity which fundamentally changed our understanding of gravity. He explained gravity as the manifestation of the curvature of space and time.
