Astronomers have identified the birth of a magnetar, a hyper-magnetized neutron star, by detecting a subtle warping of space-time predicted by Einstein’s general relativity. The discovery came from ...

This also means that there could be hidden curvatures of space-time or gravitational fields, which could explain a fundamental issue in physics: the hierarchy problem. There are several ongoing ...

The first time I heard about galaxies without dark matter, I was sitting in my very first graduate class at the University of São Paulo. A team had found a small, strange galaxy that appeared to ...

A viral theory claims US President Donald Trump could be a time traveller, citing 19th-century sketches by Charles Dellschau ...

A UC Santa Barbara graduate student alongside a local nonprofit research group have advanced the frontiers of physics while ...

Forces have mediator particles. Electromagnetism is mediated by the photons, for example. So most of the decay of this excited dark matter particle would be this unknown mediator. The excited state ...

An article published recently in Nature Geoscience warns that Antarctica's ice masses have begun to experience a process scientists call "Greenlandification." The term refers to the unprecedented ...

Gravity may seem constant, but it actually varies across the planet—and one of the strangest places is Antarctica, where gravity is slightly weaker than expected. Scientists have traced this “gravity ...

Neutron stars harbor some of the most extreme environments in the universe: their densities soar to several times those of ...

Anterix Inc. ATEX is positioning itself as a critical enabler of private wireless broadband for U.S. electric utilities. The model is straightforward, but the financials can look counterintuitive ...

A mysterious striped signal from the Crab Pulsar may finally be explained by a delicate balance between plasma effects and ...
