Radio telescopes on the moon could let us observe dozens of black hole shadows

We now have direct images of two supermassive black holes: M87* and Sag A*. The fact that we can capture such images is remarkable, but they might be the only black holes we can observe. That is, unless we take radio astronomy to a whole new level.

Massive black hole mystery unlocked by researchers

It’s one of astronomy’s great mysteries: how did black holes get so big, so massive, so quickly. An answer to this cosmic conundrum has now been provided by researchers at Ireland’s Maynooth University (MU) and reported today in Nature Astronomy.

Unified framework sorts spacetime fluctuations for quantum-gravity experiments

A team of researchers led by the University of Warwick has developed the first unified framework for detecting “spacetime fluctuations”—tiny, random distortions in the fabric of spacetime that appear in many attempts to unite quantum physics and gravity.

Metal clumps in a quantum state: Physicists place thousands of sodium atoms in a ‘Schrödinger’s cat state’

Can a small lump of metal be in a quantum state that extends over distant locations? A research team at the University of Vienna answers this question with a resounding yes. In the journal Nature, physicists from the University of Vienna and the University of Duisburg-Essen show that even massive nanoparticles consisting of thousands of […]

Studying massive and mysterious young protostars with Hubble

Baby pictures are some of a family’s most cherished artifacts. The same thing can be said of the Hubble Space Telescope and the infant stars it immortalizes in its scientific portraits. But while we know how babies are conceived and how they form in great detail, the same can’t be said for star formation.

Astronomers discover a companion cluster to Czernik 38

Astronomers from the National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics (NRIAG) in Cairo, Egypt, have investigated a young open cluster known as Czernik 38. As a result, they found a new open cluster, which turns out to be a companion to Czernik 38. The discovery was detailed in a paper published Jan. 14 on the […]

Enceladus plumes may hold a clear clue to ocean habitability

How can scientists estimate the pH level of Enceladus’ subsurface ocean without landing on its surface? This is what a study recently posted to the arXiv preprint server hopes to address as a team of scientists from Japan investigated new methods for sampling the plumes of Enceladus and have provided more accurate measurements of its […]

Chiral phonons create orbital current via their own magnetism

In a new study, an international group of researchers has found that chiral phonons can create orbital current without needing magnetic elements—in part because chiral phonons have their own magnetic moments. Additionally, this effect can be achieved in common crystal materials. The work has potential for the development of less expensive, energy-efficient orbitronic devices for […]
