Attempts to Record First Music CD with Rydberg Atoms

Although sounding similar to an old-school vinyl record, the origin of the unique crackle in the music streamed into Chris Holloway’s laboratory is atomic.

Oldest of Merging Galaxies Observed in Sextans Constellation

Scientists have detected signals of carbon, oxygen, and dust from a galaxy formed in the early Universe 13 billion years ago using Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, or ALMA.

Gaining Insights into NGC 4051 Spiral Galaxy, a Host for Multiple Supernovae

When extremely huge stars expire toward the end of their short lives, they illuminate the cosmos with bright, explosive bursts of material and light, called supernovae.

Scientists Discover Unusual Form of Superconductivity in “Stripe-Ordered” Cuprates

Researchers aiming to decode the mechanism behind superconductivity in “stripe-ordered” cuprates have identified an extraordinary metallic state when trying to turn superconductivity off.

Study Shows Quasiparticles are Capable of Rebirth after Decaying

Decay is unyielding in the macroscopic realm: shattered objects cannot put themselves back together again. However, other laws are effective in the quantum realm: new study reveals that so-called quasiparticles can decay and reorganize themselves again and are therefore almost immortal.

NASA’s Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope Provides a New Catalog of the Highest-Energy Blasts

For a decade, the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope from NASA has skimmed the sky for GRBs (gamma-ray bursts)—the most luminous explosions in the universe.

Study Finds Ripples in Milky Way’s Outer Disk were Caused by Collision with Antlia 2

A study led by Sukanya Chakrabarti, Assistant Professor at Rochester Institute of Technology, has found that the collision of Antlia 2—a newly discovered dark dwarf galaxy—with the Milky Way could be the reason for the characteristic ripples in the outer disk of Milky Way.

Physicists Track Key Sources of Energy Loss in Compact Fusion Facilities

A major barrier in achieving the control of fusion—which powers stars and the sun—on Earth is leakage of particles and energy from plasma.

Study Finds Black Hole at Center of Nearby Dwarf Galaxy is 40 Times Smaller than Previously Thought

Astronomers who wish to know about the formation of supermassive black holes have to start small—really small, in astronomical terms. As a matter of fact, a group including astronomer Elena Gallo from the University of Michigan has found out that a black hole located at the center of an adjacent dwarf galaxy, named NGC 4395, is nearly 40 times smaller than thought earlier.

New Hubble View Reveals a Stunning Mature Galaxy

The remarkable image illustrated in this news release was captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope’s Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3), a robust instrument set up on the telescope in 2009. WFC3 is the reason behind a number of Hubble’s most stunning and iconic photographs.
