Physicists use Key Technique for Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computers

Even computers can miscalculate. Already small disturbances change stored information and corrupt results. That is why computers use methods to continuously correct such errors. In quantum computers, the vulnerability to errors can be reduced by storing quantum information in more than a single quantum particle.

Astronomers Estimate the Site and Age of Supernova Blast

Astronomers are turning back the clock on the growing remnants of a neighboring, exploded star.

Research Opens Up a New Paradigm for Measuring Time Symmetry Violations

Every field has its underlying principles. For economics it's the rational actor; biology has the theory of evolution; modern geology rests on the bedrock of plate tectonics.

New Quasar Discovery Beats the Previously Set Distance Record

An international team of astronomers has discovered the most distant quasar yet found -- a cosmic monster more than 13 billion light-years from Earth powered by a supermassive black hole more than 1.6 billion times more massive than the Sun and more than 1,000 times brighter than our entire Milky Way Galaxy.

Scientists Discover an 'Old Faithful' Cosmic Eruption

You've heard of Old Faithful, the Yellowstone National Park geyser that erupts every hour or two, a geological phenomenon on a nearly predictable schedule.

Astronomers Discover Most Distant Quasar J0313-1806

Scientists have discovered the most faraway quasar ever known. It is 1000 times more luminous compared to the Milky Way and has been spotted just 670 million years after the Big Bang.

Princeton Physicists Discover Unexpected Quantum Behavior in an Insulator

In a surprising discovery, Princeton physicists have observed an unexpected quantum behavior in an insulator made from a material called tungsten ditelluride.

Ultra-Deep Field Observations by Roman Space Telescope Could Improve the Understanding of Universe

One of the Hubble Space Telescope's most iconic images is the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, which unveiled myriad galaxies across the universe, stretching back to within a few hundred million years of the Big Bang. Hubble peered at a single patch of seemingly empty sky for hundreds of hours beginning in September 2003, and astronomers first unveiled this galaxy tapestry in 2004, with more observations in subsequent years.

Chemical Sensing Chip Approaches Quantum-Limit Sensing Capabilities

University at Buffalo researchers are reporting an advancement of a chemical sensing chip that could lead to handheld devices that detect trace chemicals -- everything from illicit drugs to pollution -- as quickly as a breathalyzer identifies alcohol.

Direct Measurements of Pulsar Acceleration Reveal Nature of Milky Way's Dark Matter

It is well known that the expansion of the universe is accelerating due to a mysterious dark energy. Within galaxies, stars also experience an acceleration, though this is due to some combination of dark matter and the stellar density.

Study Reveals the Double Origin of Cosmic Dust in the Distant Universe

Two billion years after the Big Bang, the Universe was still very young. However, thousands of huge galaxies, rich in stars and dust, were already formed. An international study, led by SISSA - Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati, now explains how this was possible.

ALMA Captures a Far-Away Galaxy Ejecting Its Star-Forming Gas

Galaxies begin to "die" when they stop forming stars, but until now astronomers had never clearly glimpsed the start of this process in a far-away galaxy. Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), in which the European Southern Observatory (ESO) is a partner, astronomers have seen a galaxy ejecting nearly half of its star-forming gas.
