New machine learning tool could transform how we study neutron star mergers
A new machine learning algorithm that can rapidly pinpoint the location of a neutron star merger using gravitational wave signals alone.
Higgs boson may be driving the Universe’s expansion
Scientists assume that inflation was driven by hypothetical inflaton particles, which scientists think could be the Higgs boson.
New material emitting spinning light could revolutionize optics and computing
“We’ve essentially reworked the standard recipe for making organic light emitting diodes, like those found in smartphones.”
A new type of dark matter could explain mysterious radiation from the Milky Way’s core
Dark matter could be composed of much lighter particles, with masses roughly ten times smaller than that of a proton.
Exploring quantum gravity with pendulums
If experimentally proven that gravity is classical, we will have to start from the beginning in a search for a satisfactory ontological picture of the world.
New algorithm unlocks the power of quantum machine learning
A new study targets feature selection, a key step in machine learning where the algorithm determines which parts of the input data are most relevant to making accurate predictions.
New calculation sheds light on the structure of neutron stars
Scientists figure out how different factors, like temperature, density, and pressure, relate to each other in the matter inside neutron stars.
