Astronomers Study Multi-Wavelength Image to Decipher Sequence of Galaxy-Cluster Collisions

A giant collision of several galaxy clusters, each containing hundreds of galaxies, has produced this spectacular panorama of shocks and energy. The collisions generated shock waves that set off a celestial fireworks display of bright radio emission, seen as red and orange.

Cosmos Code Could Revel Mysteries of Black Holes and Other Space Oddities

Black holes make for a great space mystery. They're so massive that nothing, not even light, can escape a black hole once it gets close enough. A great mystery for scientists is that there's evidence of powerful jets of electrons and protons that shoot out of the top and bottom of some black holes. Yet no one knows how these jets form.

Significant Milestone for Scaling Up Quantum Computers

A future quantum computer, employing "quantum bits" or qubits, might be capable of solving problems which are not tractable for classical computers. Scientists are presently struggling to develop devices with more than a few qubits, with the growing challenge that the qubits mutually hinder each other’s proper operation.

Astronomers Discover Second Most Distant Dusty Star Forming Galaxy in the Universe

Astronomers using the Large Millimeter Telescope (LMT), which is operated jointly by the University of Massachusetts Amherst and Mexico’s Instituto Nacional de Astrofísica, Óptica y Electrónica, report today in Nature Astronomy that they have detected the second most distant dusty, star-forming galaxy ever found in the universe – born in the first one billion years after the Big Bang.

ALMA Observatory Detects Dust Around the Closest Star to the Solar System

Dust around the closest star to the Solar System, Proxima Centauri, has been detected by the ALMA Observatory in Chile. These new observations expose the glow generating from cold dust in a region between one to four times as far from Proxima Centauri as the Earth is from the Sun.
