Gravitational Waves Leave Behind Memories that Could Help Detect Waves that Pass Through the Universe

Observed first in 2016, gravitational waves provide new insights about the universe, with the ability to describe everything from the time soon after the Big Bang to latest events in galaxy centers.

Study Finds First Generation of the Universe’s Stars Burst and Ejected Heavy Elements into Neighboring Galaxies

The very first stars evolved into the universe as enormously bright aggregations of helium and hydrogen gas several hundred million years following the Big Bang. Inside the cores of these first stars, extreme thermonuclear reactions produced the first heavier elements, such as iron, carbon, and zinc.

Analysis of Gaia Satellite Data Reveals Severe Star Formation Burst in Milky Way in the Past

A group headed by scientists from the Institute of Cosmos Sciences of the University of Barcelona (ICCUB, UB-IEEC) and the Besançon Astronomical Observatory analyzed data from the Gaia satellite and has discovered that an intense star formation burst took place in the Milky Way nearly two and three thousand million years ago.

Discrete Energy Levels Without Confinement – A New Quantum Trick

Nanostructures can be designed such a way that the quantum confinement allows only certain electron energy levels. Researchers from IMDEA Nanociencia, UAM and ICMM-CSIC have for the first time observed a discrete pattern of electron energies in an unconfined system, which could lead to new ways of modifying the surface properties of materials.

LIGO and Virgo Detect Neutron Star Smash-ups

On April 25, 2019, the National Science Foundation's Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) and the European-based Virgo detector registered gravitational waves from what appears likely to be a crash between two neutron stars—the dense remnants of massive stars that previously exploded.

Study Demonstrates Wave-Particle Duality of Antimatter

As part of an interference experiment, an international research team, including researchers from the University of Bern, has shown for the first time that antimatter particles not just have the properties of particles but also behave as waves.

Experiment to Understand the Relation Between Shock Wave Evolution and Expansion of Wire Exploding Underwater

For a normal person, who is not a plasma physicist, exploding electrical wires underwater might seem to be a bad idea. However, as a matter of fact, it is a technique to analyze shock waves, the disturbances that propagate faster than the speed of sound.
