Study Indicates the Existence of Axions in the Universe

According to a new study published in the Physical Review D journal on June 7th, 2021, identifying the hypothetical particle axion could mean identifying for the first time what exactly occurred in the Universe a second after the Big Bang.

Unusual Electron Behavior in a Quantum Material Could Lead to Heat Switches Without Moving Parts

Researchers have discovered a new electronic property at the frontier between the thermal and quantum sciences in a specially engineered metal alloy - and in the process identified a promising material for future devices that could turn heat on and off with the application of a magnetic "switch."

Generalizing the Measurement Postulate in Quantum Mechanics

Measurement postulate is crucial to quantum mechanics. If we measure a quantum system, we can only get one of the eigenvalues of the measured observable, such as position, energy and so on, with a probability.

A Stream of Stars in the Milky Way Extends At Least 1,600 Light-Years

It's hard to see more than a handful of stars from Princeton University, because the lights from New York City, Princeton and Philadelphia prevent our sky from ever getting pitch black, but stargazers who get into more rural areas can see hundreds of naked-eye stars -- and a few smudgy objects, too.

Researchers Determine the Mode of Formation and Development of Galactic Bulges

An international team of scientists led from the Centre for Astrobiology, with participation from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias, has used the Gran Telescopio Canarias to study a representative sample of galaxies, both disc and spheroidal, in a deep sky zone in the constellation of the Great Bear to characterize the properties of the stellar populations of galactic bulges.

Auroras are Produced by Powerful Electromagnetic Waves During Geomagnetic Storms

The aurora borealis, or northern lights, that fill the sky in high-latitude regions have fascinated people for thousands of years. But how they're created, while theorized, had not been conclusively proven.

Astronomers Use GMRT to Measure Atomic Hydrogen Gas Content of Galaxies 9 Billion Years Ago

A team of astronomers from the National Centre for Radio Astrophysics in Pune, and the Raman Research Institute, in Bangalore, has used the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope to measure the atomic hydrogen gas content of galaxies 9 billion years ago, in the young universe.

Physicists Create New Quantum Interferometer on an Atom Chip

A new quantum interferometer on an atom chip has been created by physicists in Israel. This device can be utilized to investigate the basics of quantum theory by exploring the interference pattern present between two beams of atoms.

Findings Increase the Number of Astronomical Bodies that Could Have Brought Life to Earth

A research group from Kobe University has demonstrated that the heat generated by the impact of a small astronomical body could enable aqueous alteration and organic solid formation to occur on the surface of an asteroid.

Artificial Quasicrystal Shows Promise for New Applications

A geologist from the University of Massachusetts Lowell (UMass Lowell) is one of the scientists who have identified a new kind of human-generated quasicrystal produced by the first test blast of an atomic bomb.

Study Reveals Major Difference Between Jets Ejected by Low- and High-Mass Protostars

Astronomers exploring the fast-moving jet of material expelled by a huge, still-forming young star have discovered a significant difference between that jet and those expelled by less-massive young stars.

Scientists Gain the Best View Yet of Brightest Cosmic Explosion

Scientists have gained the best view yet of the brightest explosions in the universe: A specialised observatory in Namibia has recorded the most energetic radiation and longest gamma-ray afterglow of a so-called gamma-ray burst (GRB) to date.
