University of Saskatchewan Theoretical High-Energy Physicist Enlightens About Hawking Radiation from Black Holes

One of the weirdest things about black holes is that they are thought to evaporate over time, due to an effect named Hawking radiation after the renowned physicist who postulated its existence.

International Team of Astronomers Find Clear Evidence of Potentially Habitable Planet Orbiting Proxima Centauri

An international team of astronomers including Carnegie’s Paul Butler has found clear evidence of a planet orbiting Proxima Centauri, the closest star to our Solar System.

Astronomers Uncover Unexpected Link Between Mid-Infrared and Gamma Rays

Astronomers studying distant galaxies powered by monster black holes have uncovered an unexpected link between two very different wavelengths of the light they emit, the mid-infrared and gamma rays.

Spherical Tokamaks Could be Used in Development of Fusion Reactors

Among the top puzzles in the development of fusion energy is the best shape for the magnetic facility — or “bottle” — that will provide the next steps in the development of fusion reactors.

UC Riverside-Led Team Discovers Four of Most Distant Clusters of Galaxies Ever Found

The international University of California, Riverside-led SpARCS collaboration has discovered four of the most distant clusters of galaxies ever found, as they appeared when the universe was only 4 billion years old.

Astrophysicists Propose Clever New Way of Shedding Light on Mystery of Dark Matter

Astrophysicists from Johns Hopkins University have proposed a clever new way of shedding light on the mysterious dark matter believed to make up most of the universe. The irony is they want to try to pin down the nature of this unexplained phenomenon by using another, an obscure cosmic emanation known as “fast radio bursts.”

Scientists Emphasize Importance of Neutrino Horn in Conducting Various Experiments

Neutrinos are tricky. Although trillions of these harmless, neutral particles pass through us every second, they interact so rarely with matter that, to study them, scientists send a beam of neutrinos to giant detectors. And to be sure they have enough of them, scientists have to start with a very concentrated beam of neutrinos.

Three Challenging Experiments to Advance Understanding of Neutrino Physics

Approximately 100 trillion neutrinos bombard your body every second—but you don’t notice these ghostly subatomic particles. Because they are electrically neutral and interact with other matter via the weak force, their detection is difficult—and the subject of challenging experiments that convene physicists from universities, national labs and other research institutions worldwide.

Specially Designed System Helps Researchers Better Understand Nature's Patterns with Plasmas

Patterns abound in nature, from zebra stripes and leopard spots to honeycombs and bands of clouds. Somehow, these patterns form and organize all by themselves. To better understand how, researchers have now created a new device that may allow scientists to study patterns in 3-D like never before.

Researchers Clarify Crystal Structure of Hydrogen Sulfide in Superconducting Phase for First Time

For the first time in the world, a research group led by Osaka University, Japan, clarified the crystal structure of hydrogen sulfide in its superconducting phase at the high temperature of -70°C.

Researchers Suggest Life in the Universe Much More Likely to Exist in Future than Now

We know that the universe is roughly 14 billion years old, and that someday it is likely to end – perhaps because of a Big Freeze, Big Rip or Big Crunch.

Experts Discuss Challenges of Eavesdropping on Gravitational Waves in Extensive Online Interview

In an extensive interview published online this week, the winners of the 2016 Kavli Prize in Astrophysics discuss their 40-year effort to detect gravitational waves, the elusive ripples in the fabric of space-time that Albert Einstein so boldly predicted.
