Scientists create first clear picture of atomic nuclei using quarks and gluons

For the first time, scientists have successfully created a detailed and accurate picture of atomic nuclei using the tiny building blocks inside protons and...

Dark matter has a firm grip on these galaxies

The elliptical galaxy NGC 1270 lies about 240 million light-years away. But it’s not alone. It’s part of the Perseus Cluster (Abell 426), the brightest X-ray...

Scientists find new way to generate photon pairs on a chip

Researchers have developed a new method to efficiently generate photon pairs on a chip, which could significantly improve quantum technologies such as quantum communication,...

Astronomers discover ancient quasars with mysterious origins

Astronomers have made a surprising discovery: some of the earliest and brightest quasars in the universe appear to be “lonely” and isolated in space. Quasars...

Could neutron stars be surrounded by dark matter clouds? Scientists think so!

A team of physicists from the universities of Amsterdam, Princeton, and Oxford has made an exciting discovery that could help explain one of the...

Scientists unveil new X-ray optics to unlock hidden secrets of the universe

The universe holds many mysteries, and studying X-ray emissions from space can help unlock them. X-rays from astronomical objects like black holes and hot gas...

New light-activated material could revolutionize quantum technology

Scientists have discovered an exciting new way to control the behavior of tiny particles in a special material called perovskite, which could be used...

Scientists uncover hidden deformations in complex light fields

When we look into a flat mirror, we expect to see a clear reflection without any distortion. But researchers at Tampere University have discovered that...

Scientists use asteroid data to investigate possible fifth force in the universe

In 2023, NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission returned a sample of dust and rocks from the near-Earth asteroid Bennu. This remarkable achievement not only provided scientists with...

How Earth’s lightning storms affect “killer” electrons in space

When lightning strikes, it doesn’t just light up the sky — it also shakes things up in space. A recent study by researchers at the...
