The ATLAS Experiment at CERN has made two years’ worth of scientific data available to the public for research purposes. The data include recordings of proton–proton collisions from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at a collision energy of 13 TeV. This is the first time that ATLAS has released data on this scale, and it …
Scientists have discovered that molecules scramble quantum information at rates comparable to black holes, affecting chemical reactions and offering insights for controlling quantum computing systems. Credit: SciTechDaily.com Research from Rice University and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has shown that molecules can scramble quantum information as effectively as black holes, with implications for chemical physics …
This image shows the aftermath of the accretion of a star by a supermassive black hole. Black holes … [+] such as these lurk at the centres of many, if not all, galaxies, and can weight in at anything from a few tens of thousands to several billion times the mass of a single star. …
A new perspective on the Crab Nebula, one of astronomy’s most beautiful creations, has been provided by a NASA X-ray instrument. The Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) observatory was launched in December 2021 and is presently orbiting Earth, observing X-ray sources like black holes and pulsars from space. Despite being an essential tool for scientists …
