New calculation sheds light on the structure of neutron stars
Scientists figure out how different factors, like temperature, density, and pressure, relate to each other in the matter inside neutron stars.
XRISM solves star formation mystery in galaxy clusters
New high-resolution X-ray data reveal that turbulent gas motion, not just black hole activity, prevents star formation in cluster cores.
Researchers replicate gravitational lensing in the lab
Lenses help researchers mimic the way massive cosmic objects bend light—bringing the elusive effects of gravitational lensing to Earth.
Gas filaments could help explain how supermassive black holes get so big
New observations suggest elongated gas filaments that stretch into space may be feeding supermassive black holes.
A theory of frozen stars challenges our understanding of black holes
Linking string theory with observations, frozen stars shed new light on black holes and the clash between quantum mechanics and relativity.
A “dark dimension” could help explain the origin of dark energy
Scientists propose that mysterious dark energy could be understood if we look at the Universe through the lens of string theory.
