SLAC X-ray Laser Provides Fleeting Glimpse of Material Atomic Structure as it Enters Superconductivity State

An experiment at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory provided the first fleeting glimpse of the atomic structure of a material as it entered a state resembling room-temperature superconductivity – a long-sought phenomenon in which materials might conduct electricity with 100 percent efficiency under everyday conditions.

Astronomers Reveal Dramatic ‘Blow Out’ Phase of Galactic Evolution

For the first time, an international team of astronomers, led by Dr James Geach from the University of Hertfordshire, has revealed the dramatic ‘blow out’ phase of galactic evolution.

Quantum Simulator Can Help Study Motion of Electrons in a Disordered Environment

Studying the motion of electrons in a disordered environment is no simple task. Often, understanding such effects requires a quantum simulator designed to expose them in a different physical setup.

Discovery of Pulsar Orbiting a Black Hole Could be the 'Holy Grail' to Test Gravity

The intermittent light emitted by pulsars, the most precise timekeepers in the universe, allows scientists to verify Einstein's theory of relativity, especially when these objects are paired up with another neutron star or white dwarf that interferes with their gravity. However, this theory could be analysed much more effectively if a pulsar with a black hole were found, except in two particular cases, according to researchers from Spain and India.

Intense Heat During Formative Years May Prevent Planets from Hosting Life

Planets orbiting close to low-mass stars -- easily the most common stars in the universe -- are prime targets in the search for extraterrestrial life.

Arecibo Radio Telescope Detects Atomic Hydrogen Emission in Galaxies Three Billion Light Years from Earth

Using the world's largest radio telescope, two astronomers from Swinburne University of Technology in Australia have detected the faint signal emitted by atomic hydrogen gas in galaxies three billion light years from Earth, breaking the previous record distance by 500 million light years. Their results appear in a paper published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

Many Outstanding Issues of Glassy Physics Connected with Secondary Relaxation Process

Humans have been experimenting with and utilizing glassy materials for more than ten millennia, dating back to about 12000 B.C. Although glassy materials are the oldest known artificial materials, new discoveries and novel applications continue to appear.

Merging of Galaxies Will Lead to Supermassive Black Holes

The Milky Way is destined to collide with the Andromeda Galaxy in the distant future, as this simulation shows. Indeed, one theory holds that such a collision of galaxies results in massive galaxies. All massive galaxies have at their center a supermassive black hole, the largest type of black hole. How do the supermassive black holes grow to their size?

Sun-Like Stars are not too Dusty

Planet hunters received some good news recently. A new study concluded that, on average, sun-like stars aren't all that dusty. Less dust means better odds of snapping clear pictures of the stars' planets in the future.
