A bright future for supernovae
Researchers have found that supernovae explosions are preceded by observable radiation whose features should make it possible to distinguish the radiation of a future supernova from other light sources in space.
Dark matter from quantum gravity
Researchers at the Southern University of Science and Technology in China ask if gravitons can be promising candidates for dark matter components.
The road towards the first image of a black hole
Imaging a black hole is not an easy thing, it takes years of experiments, collaborations, grants, planning, and no small amount of luck.
Ultra-cold atoms help test fundamental theory of solids
Cold ytterbium atoms were used to test a fundamental theory which describes phenomena in solids such as magnetism and superconductivity.
Upper mass limit of massive stars revisited
Physicists at the Gemini Observatory have found a new mass limit for massive stars, and found it to be lower than previously thought.
Artificial physicist to unravel the laws of nature
Scientists hope that a new machine learning algorithm could one day be used to automate the discovery of new physical laws.
From wood chuck holes to worm holes — A look into the notebooks of John Wheeler
Glimpse into the notebooks of physicist John Wheeler, which capture his eclectic, crazy, and yet never one-dimensional ideas.
First images from James Webb Space Telescope published by NASA
NASA has published the first five images from the James Webb Space Telescope, highlighting each of the key questions it will study.
AI without computers
An AI made from plasma learns to play tic-tac-toe using varying and controllable mixtures of gases, in a major step forward.
