Innovative View on the Existence of Dark Matter

It is a known fact that only a small fragment of the universe comprises of visible matter and that the remaining vast regions are hidden from human eyes and include dark energy and dark matter. Although knowledge on dark energy is highly limited, various experiments and theories on the presence of dark matter, formulated to detect these unexplored particles, do exist.

Researchers Probe Conditions of Stellar Interiors to Better Understand Nuclear Reactions

A majority of the nuclear reactions that trigger the nucleosynthesis of the elements in the universe take place in very extreme stellar plasma conditions.

Scientists Reveal Possible Explanation for Dominance of Matter over Antimatter

Neutrinos and antineutrinos are sometimes known as ‘ghost particles’ because they are difficult to detect, and they can transform from one form to another.

MPQ Researchers Expose Concealed Magnetic Order in One-Dimensional Quantum Crystals Doped with Holes

In everyday-life, the phenomenon of magnetism is experienced quite frequently. The property, which is seen in materials such as such as iron, is caused by the arrangement of electron spins.

Tiny Black Holes May Have Helped Forge Heavy Elements of the Universe

Astronomers believe that we are the byproducts of stars, stellar furnaces that fused helium and hydrogen long ago into the elements necessary for life through the stellar nucleosynthesis process.

DES Scientists Carry Out Ultraprecise Measurement of Dark Matter in Cosmos

Consider sowing a single seed and accurately estimating the correct height of the tree that grows from the seed. Moreover, visualize a journey to the future to capture photographic evidence that the estimation was correct.

MASTER-SHOCK Records One of the Most Powerful Gamma-Ray Bursts

NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope in the United States recorded a gamma-ray burst on the 25 June, 2016 at 22:40:16 p.m. GMT. Subsequently this proved to be merely a giant burst precursor.

Study Shows Quasars Could Extinguish Star Formation in Dusty Starburst Galaxies

Extinguished stars are abundantly present in some of the largest galaxies in the universe, but shortly after the universe was first created - almost 12 billion years ago - these huge galaxies were hotspots that produced billions of stars.

NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope Witnesses Gravitational Dance Between Two Galaxies

The gravitational dance between two galaxies in our local neighbourhood has led to intriguing visual features in both as witnessed in this new NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image.

Scientists Calculate Distribution of Light Energy Contained Within the Milky Way

For the first time, a team of scientists have calculated the distribution of all light energy contained within the Milky Way, which will provide new insight into the make-up of our galaxy and how stars in spiral galaxies such as ours form.

ESO's VLT Survey Telescope Captures Spectacular Image of Orion Nebula Cluster

Using new observations from ESO’s VLT Survey Telescope, astronomers have discovered three different populations of young stars within the Orion Nebula Cluster. This unexpected discovery adds very valuable new insights for the understanding of how such clusters form.

New Way to Measure Robustness of Quantum Coherence of a Superimposed State

One of the main principles of quantum mechanics is the superposition of states. Systems are simultaneously in different states, i.e. "alive and dead" at the same time such as Schrödinger's cat, until someone measures them and the system opts for one of the possibilities.
