Long-theorized electron-on-helium qubit achieves strong coupling to a single microwave photon

by quasarn01 | Jul 8, 2026 | Latest in Physics

Quantum computers, devices that store and process information leveraging the principles of quantum mechanics, have been found to be promising for tackling some problems that cannot be solved by classical computers. Quantum computers store data in the form of qubits...

Black hole collisions may follow entropy law, offering simpler remnant predictions

by quasarn01 | Jul 8, 2026 | Astronomy

When two black holes orbit each other, they eventually spiral inward and collide in one of the most violent phenomena in the universe. The event is so energetic that it significantly distorts the universe around it. It emits gravitational waves—ripples in the fabric...

Another success for Hayabusa 2 as it completes a flyby of asteroid Torifune

by quasarn01 | Jul 8, 2026 | Astronomy

Hayabusa 2’s primary mission is now well in the past. JAXA’s asteroid-sampling spacecraft rendezvoused with asteroid Ryugu in June 2018. It studied the asteroid for 1.5 years and gathered a sample that was returned to Earth in December 2020. Go to...

JWST’s ‘overmassive’ early black holes may not be so massive after all

by quasarn01 | Jul 8, 2026 | Astronomy

Astronomers studying a population of unusually X-ray-silent and overmassive black holes discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope have found that they may not be as massive as they appear. The new paper, outlining a plausible scenario that would produce such black...
