X-ray Telescopes Help Determine Relation between Radius and Mass of Neutron Stars

Neutron stars, the ultra-dense cores left behind after massive stars collapse, contain the densest matter known in the Universe outside of a black hole. New results from Chandra and other X-ray telescopes have provided one of the most reliable determinations yet of the relation between the radius of a neutron star and its mass.

Van Allen Radiation Belts Store Mysterious Zone of High-Energy Electrons

U.S. researchers, including a trio from Los Alamos National Laboratory, have witnessed the mysterious appearance of a relatively long-lived zone of high-energy electrons stored between Earth's Van Allen radiation belts.

Charge-Density Waves Not the Mechanism behind High-Temperature Superconductivity

Identifying the mysterious mechanism underlying high-temperature superconductivity (HTS) remains one of the most important and tantalizing puzzles in physics. This remarkable phenomenon allows electric current to pass with perfect efficiency through materials chilled to subzero temperatures, and it may play an essential role in revolutionizing the entire electricity chain, from generation to transmission and grid-scale storage.

IU Quantum Hadrodynamics Physicist to be Honored with One-Day Symposium

The late Indiana University physicist Brian David Serot -- a four-time winner of the IU Trustees' Teaching Award still remembered for his calm rationality and encyclopedic knowledge of the field -- will be honored with a one-day symposium March 6 at IU's Center for Exploration of Energy and Matter.

Researchers Overcome Important Challenges of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle

Researchers at the University of Rochester and the University of Ottawa have applied a recently developed technique to directly measure for the first time the polarization states of light. Their work both overcomes some important challenges of Heisenberg's famous Uncertainty Principle and also is applicable to qubits, the building blocks of quantum information theory.
