Leading Quantum Gravity Theorist to Lecture on Black Holes and the Structure of Spacetime

Einstein transformed our understanding of the universe when he taught that space and time should be combined into a dynamical entity called “spacetime,” which is deformed (curved) by the presence of matter. Black holes are objects where this deformation is drastic, leading to a region from which nothing can escape.

Scientists Explore Landscape of Absolute Zero to Probe Quantum Phase Transitions

Heat drives classical phase transitions—think solid, liquid, and gas—but much stranger things can happen when the temperature drops. If phase transitions occur at the coldest temperatures imaginable, where quantum mechanics reigns, subtle fluctuations can dramatically transform a material.

Researchers Theorize Possible Solution to Preserve Theory of Supersymmetry

It was a breakthrough with profound implications for the world as we know it: the Higgs boson, the elementary particle that gives all other particles their mass, discovered at the Large Hadron Collider in 2012.

ESO Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer Helps Discover How Giant Elliptical Galaxies Move

New findings of how giant elliptical galaxies move have been discovered by an international team of astronomers using the newly installed Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) at the European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT) facility.

Neutrons Help Study Formation of Damage-Causing Bubbles in Fuel Injectors

Blowing bubbles may be fun for kids, but for engineers, bubbles can disrupt fluid flow and damage metal.

Fluid Systems Dynamics Mimics Quantum Mechanics

The central mystery of quantum mechanics is that small chunks of matter sometimes seem to behave like particles, sometimes like waves. For most of the past century, the prevailing explanation of this conundrum has been what’s called the “Copenhagen interpretation” — which holds that, in some sense, a single particle really is a wave, smeared out across the universe, that collapses into a determinate location only when observed.

ORNL’s High Flux Isotope Reactor Designated as a Nuclear Historic Landmark

The High Flux Isotope Reactor, or HFIR, now in its 48th year of providing neutrons for research and isotope production at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has been designated a Nuclear Historic Landmark by the American Nuclear Society (ANS).

Perimeter Institute Public Lecture Series to Feature Live Webcast Talks with Pre-Eminent Scientists

“You are each a participant in this adventure of science.” With those words, Sylvester James Gates Jr., renowned physicist and member of President Barack Obama’s Scientific Advisory Council, captured the spirit and the future of the Perimeter Institute (PI) Public Lecture Series.

Sound Used to Communicate with Artificial Atom

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology are first to show the use of sound to communicate with an artificial atom. They can thereby demonstrate phenomena from quantum physics with sound taking on the role of light. The results will be published in the journal Science.

Researchers Find Evidence of Hot Binary Companion Star to a Yellow Supergiant Star

A team led by Gastón Folatelli at the Kavli IPMU, the University of Tokyo, has found evidence of a hot binary companion star to a yellow supergiant star, which had become a bright supernova. The existence of the companion star had been predicted by the same team on the basis of numerical calculations.
