Astronomers Close to Understanding Intermediate-Mass Black Holes

The term "black holes" was first used in the mid-20th century by theoretical physicist John Wheeler. This term denotes relativistic supermassive objects that are invisible in all electromagnetic waves, but a great number of astrophysical effects confirms their existence.

MIT Physicists Find Way to Manipulate Graphene's Electrons at Femtoseconds of Photo-Excitation

When you shine a light on a conducting surface like silicon or graphene, that light jump-starts certain electrons into high-energy states and kicks off a cascade of interactions that happens faster than the blink of an eye.

Hubble Space Telescope Captures Massive and Bright Star Cluster in the Milky Way

Single stars are often overlooked in favour of their larger cosmic cousins — but when they join forces, they create truly breathtaking scenes to rival even the most glowing of nebulae or swirling of galaxies.

MIT Experiments Show Two Types of Turbulence Within Plasma that Cause Significant Heat Loss

One of the biggest obstacles to making fusion power practical — and realizing its promise of virtually limitless and relatively clean energy — has been that computer models have been unable to predict how the hot, electrically charged gas inside a fusion reactor behaves under the intense heat and pressure required to make atoms stick together.
