Astrophysicists Find New Way to Estimate Mass of Supermassive Black Holes

Astrophysicists from Moscow State University have found a new way to estimate the mass of supermassive black holes outside our galaxy, even if these holes are barely detectable. The results of the study were published in the Astronomy and Astrophysics journal.

International Researchers Successfully Observe Supernova Remnant Using MAGIC Telescopes

Cassiopeia A is a famous supernova remnant, the product of a gigantic explosion of a massive star about 350 years ago. Although discovered in radio observations 50 years ago, now we know that its emitted radiation spans from radio through high-energy gamma rays.

New Findings Reveal that Quark-Gluon Plasma Could be Created Even in Smaller Systems

Particles emerging from even the lowest energy collisions of small deuterons with large heavy nuclei at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC)—a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science User Facility for nuclear physics research at DOE’s Brookhaven National Laboratory—exhibit behavior scientists associate with the formation of a soup of quarks and gluons, the fundamental building blocks of nearly all visible matter.

Scientists Demonstrate Electrically Pumped Quantum Dot Micro-Ring Lasers on Silicon Substrates

Decades ago, the Moore's law predicted that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubles approximately every two years. This prediction was proved to be right in the past few decades, and the quest for ever smaller and more efficient semiconductor devices have been a driving force in breakthroughs in the technology.

The Downside of Quantum Computers

The era of totally fledged quantum computers lurks to destroy internet security that we are familiar with. Researchers are hurriedly trying to prepare new cryptographic methods before the influx of quantum computers, as cryptographers Tanja Lange and Daniel J. Bernstein explain today in the Nature journal.
