Explaining the Universe’s accelerated expansion without dark energy
A modification to the theory of general relativity makes it consistent with observable astronomical data without the need for dark energy.
New type of black hole merger may have just been observed
Merging pairs of black holes are thought to have originated from binary stars, but new observations indicate this might not always be true.
Facial mask used to improve solar cells quality
A new manufacturing technique to grow perovskite crystals for high-performance solar cells uses “face masks” to minimize imperfections.
Automation enables modular synthesis of new molecules for lasers
An automated synthesis platform called Chemspeed reduces time and labor when searching for organic molecules as gain mediums in lasers.
General relativity may need tweaking on the grand scale of the Universe
Conflict between theory and observational evidence suggests a missing ingredient in our understanding of the early Universe.
