By adding primordial magnetic fields to the Standard Model, researchers may solve the mystery of the Universe’s expansion.
Neutron stars may be hiding quark matter in their cores
Massive neutron stars have such enormous pressure in their cores that neutrons residing there lose their integrity and become a new type of matter.
Scientists look for “new physics” beyond the Standard Model
Even a well-established theory like the Standard Model is not accurate all the time, and there are phenomena that defy its predictions.
Could dark matter be measured around black holes?
Dark matter could be aggregating around black holes, providing a possible means of indirectly measuring its properties.
Entangling particles helps improve the accuracy of quantum measurements
Using 19 different quantum computers, scientists demonstrate how entangled particles break limitations in accuracy on the sub-atomic scale.
New type of black hole merger may have just been observed
Merging pairs of black holes are thought to have originated from binary stars, but new observations indicate this might not always be true.
General relativity may need tweaking on the grand scale of the Universe
Conflict between theory and observational evidence suggests a missing ingredient in our understanding of the early Universe.
What is quantum gravity?
Quantum gravity seeks to describe gravity according to the principles of quantum mechanics, but can it be done?
A quark star may have just been discovered
More confirmation needed to see if recently discovered object is a quark star.
Black hole orbit oscillations shore up general relativity
Oscillations measured in the orbits of a pair of black holes have once again helped confirm predictions made using general relativity.
