Smashing atomic nuclei gives physicists a new way to measure their shape
2+ day, 10+ hour ago (893+ words) The shape of an atomic nucleus showed up in the debris of a collider crash, and neon's core turned out to look like a bowling pin. They smashed two of them together at nearly the speed of light, and the…...
Water drops can unleash tiny electrical discharges that trigger corrosion
3+ day, 11+ hour ago (1008+ words) Electrically charged water droplets can puncture protective coatings, exposing the metal beneath and creating new pathways for corrosion. Protective coatings help bridges, ships, cars, buildings, and outdoor objects resist corrosion. Corrosion is a slow chemical process that damages metal and…...
Black holes ring like bells, and the sound could reveal hidden physics
4+ day, 15+ hour ago (825+ words) Black hole ringdowns could reveal signs of surrounding matter or new physics, giving scientists a new way to test gravity in extreme conditions. When two black holes collide and merge into one, the newly formed giant doesn’t just sit there....
Physicists watched a falling atom obey Einstein’s rule of gravity in the quantum world
1+ week, 1+ day ago (1175+ words) Physicists including Roger Penrose observed gravity’s effect on a falling quantum object for the first time, confirming Einstein’s theory holds up in the quantum world. Jump off a diving board and you feel weightless on the way down. Einstein made…...
High-energy particles in Earth’s radiation belt may be far more organized than previously believed
1+ week, 3+ day ago (1231+ words) Physicists have spent six decades believing that high-energy particles trapped around Earth spread out through random scattering. A new paper just flipped that assumption on its head. For over 60 years, scientists believed high-energy particles in Earth’s radiation belts were scattering…...
Researchers built a completely new tool to forecast earthquakes at a dangerous supervolcano
1+ week, 4+ day ago (1061+ words) Scientists combined a century of ground uplift data with earthquake physics to forecast the size and timing of quake swarms at Italy's Campi Flegrei caldera. Pozzuoli is a port town built inside the Campi Flegrei caldera in southern Italy. Its…...
Physicists photograph a state of matter that is solid and liquid at once
2+ week, 5+ day ago (823+ words) Physicists in Barcelona captured the first direct images of a supersolid, a quantum state of matter that flows like a liquid while holding a crystal pattern. In this quantum state, atoms hold the rigid, repeating pattern of a crystal. At…...
Physicists ditch the laser and pull entangled photons from sunlight
2+ week, 6+ day ago (753+ words) Working outdoors in Germany, a team pushed raw sunlight through a small crystal and got the entangled pairs anyway. Order in the pump beam, it turns out, limits only the property that order belongs to. Those pairs are the raw…...
Gas around a black hole outshines its entire galaxy
4+ week, 22+ hour ago (687+ words) Webb reveals M77’s brilliant core, where hot gas swirling around a supermassive black hole shines brighter than the rest of the galaxy combined. Today’s Image of the Day from the European Space Agency shows a galaxy whose center is shining…...
