Researchers Observe Warped Disk Around Early Protostar for the First Time

For the first time, scientists have observed a warped disk surrounding an infant protostar that formed merely several tens of thousands of years ago. The researchers achieved this by using observations from the ALMA radio observatory in Chile.

Researchers Directly Observe Stretching of Magnetic Ordering in One-Dimensional Quantum Systems

Guillaume Salomon, a postdoc at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics and a group of researchers have been successful in directly observing a basic effect of 1D quantum systems. They achieved this by investigating ultracold atoms trapped in artificial crystals of light.

Rings of Gas Around Active Supermassive Black Holes are Actually Highly Dynamic Gaseous Components

On the basis of computer simulations and new observations from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), scientists have discovered that the rings of gas surrounding active supermassive black holes are not just donut shapes.

Supermassive Black Hole Visualized in Virtual Reality Simulation for the First Time

For the first time, scientists have visualized Sagittarius A*—the black hole at the middle of the galaxy—in virtual reality (VR) simulation. The details of the study have been reported in an article published in the open access journal Computational Astrophysics and Cosmology.
