Astronomers have discovered a “galaxy-killing wind” that may explain why there are far more massive “dead” galaxies than expected in the early universe. This wind, powered by cosmic collisions between galaxies, could quickly blow away all the...
Quantum computers—systems that process information and perform computations by leveraging the principles of quantum mechanics—could solve some tasks faster and more effectively than classical computers. While some studies have demonstrated the advantages of these...
Astronomers have revealed distinct differences in atmospheric conditions between the morning and evening transition zones of the ultra-hot gas planet WASP-121 b, which separate day from night, commonly called terminators. This achievement was only possible due to the...
Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano is hoping to bring a taste of his homeland to the Artemis III mission, which he will pilot near Earth in 2027 to test two lunar modules. Go to Source
Physicists at University College Cork have developed a new approach in the search for a quantum spin liquid, a long-sought state of quantum matter resembling a magnetic liquid whose quantum properties mean it never freezes. The work is a key step in the search for...
