Astronomers Discover Two Previously Invisible Galaxies Hidden by Cosmic Dust

Scientists at the University of Copenhagen’s Niels Bohr Institute have recently spotted two formerly undetectable galaxies 29 billion light-years away from Earth. The two galaxies have been undetectable to the optical lens of the Hubble Space Telescope, concealed behind a dense layer of cosmic dust that encompasses them.

MIT Physicists Observe Pauli Blocking’s Effect on Light-Scattering by Atoms

An atom's electrons are arranged in energy shells. Like concertgoers in an arena, each electron occupies a single chair and cannot drop to a lower tier if all its chairs are occupied.

New JILA Method may Help Improve Quantum Communication Networks and Atomic Clocks

JILA researchers have tricked nature by tuning a dense quantum gas of atoms to make a congested "Fermi sea," thus keeping atoms in a high-energy state, or excited, for about 10% longer than usual by delaying their normal return to the lowest-energy state.
