A new study has suggested that the moon may have formed instantly after a catastrophic collision that tore part of the Earth and threw it into space. Since the mid-1970s, astronomers have believed that the moon It could have happened by collision between a land and old Mars– the size of a protoplanet called Theia; … Read more
Examples of SAMI galaxies with a central bulge and a surrounding disk. Credit: Hyper Supreme-Cam Subaru and Pan-STARSS The alignment between the rotation of galaxies and the large-scale structure of the universe reveals the processes by which the various components of galaxies are formed. The structure of the universe is widely traced through the distribution … Read more

The beginning of October means Nobel Prize season. Six days, six awards, new faces from around the world are added to the world’s elite list of scientists, writers, economists and human rights leaders. This year’s Nobel season kicks off on Monday with the Medicine Prize, followed by daily announcements: Physics on Tuesday, Chemistry on Wednesday, … Read more
Another record was broken on the way to full operation and capacity Quantum computersFull control of a 6 qubit processor made of silicon. The researchers describe it as a “key stepping stone” for the technology. Qubits (or quantum bits) are the quantum equivalents of classical computing bits, except that they can only process more information. … Read more
Credit: Tohoku University Galaxies, including our own Milky Way, host supermassive black holes at their centers, millions to billions of times more massive than the Sun. Some supermassive black holes release fast-moving plasma streams that emit strong radio signals, known as radio jets. Radio aircraft were first discovered in the 1970s. But there is still … Read more
Animation of the growth of a floating crystal from N = 3 to N = 19 particles. The particles are added one by one to the surface of the liquid under the magnetic field. The attractive capillary forces are balanced by the repulsive magnetic forces. The assembly shows symmetry typical of atomic crystals. Credit: University … Read more

Sabine Husseinfelder (No one in physics would dare say it, but the race to invent new particles is pointless, Sept. 26) He missed a large part of particle physics, and indeed basic research as a whole. While we all desire to revolutionize our fields of specialization by discovering a new particle or otherwise, in fact, … Read more
Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain A millisecond – or two thousandths of a second – is an unusually long span in the world of quantum computing. On these time scales, a blink of an eye – at a tenth of a second – is like an eternity. Now a team of researchers at the University of … Read more
