This image taken by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope shows a spiral galaxy (bottom left) in front of a large galaxy cluster. New research leveraged an…
A new method can quickly diagnose COVID-19 more accurately than existing approaches. The technique is based on how the body expresses genes in response to…
An artist’s impression of two black holes that are about to collide. New observations and analysis reveal two Goliath black holes just 750 light-years apart…
An artist’s impression of the planet Janssen, which orbits its star so closely that its entire surface is a lava ocean that reaches temperatures of…
The researchers accurately reconstructed the behavior of quantum systems using neural networks and “ghost” electrons. A new method for simulating quantum entanglement between interacting particles…
Abstract quantum physics illustration. Scientists trained a machine learning tool to capture the physics of electrons moving on a lattice using far fewer equations than…
Physicists have created a remarkable, never-before-seen phase of matter in a quantum computer. Physicists demonstrated a way of storing quantum information that is less prone…
A top-down view of a black hole during the lead-up to a flare. Hot plasma initially flows into the black hole. As the magnetic field…
Water molecules flow near the honeycomb-patterned walls of a carbon nanotube. Interactions between the molecules and electrons in the walls can cause ‘quantum friction,’ researchers…
Credit: Lucy Reading-Ikkanda/Simons Foundation ‘Geometric frustration’ can cause the electrons in materials with atoms arranged in a triangular pattern to organize in three competing ways…
Studying data from the Kepler space telescope, Flatiron Institute researchers found that planetary shrinkage over billions of years likely explains a yearslong mystery: The scarcity…
Simulations of a region of space 100 million light-years square. The leftmost simulation ran at low resolution. Using machine learning, researchers upscaled the low-res model…
Pulsars are fast-spinning neutron stars that emit narrow, sweeping beams of radio waves. A new study identifies the origin of those radio waves. Credit: NASA’s…
The tetrahedral electronic distribution of a water molecule. The oxygen atom nucleus is at the center of the tetrahedron, and the hydrogen nuclei are in…
An illustration of a supersized black hole resulting from the merger of two smaller black holes. The collision has caused the black hole to ring…
