Astronomers use dead stars to measure gravitational waves produced by ancient black holes
An international team of astronomers has detected a faint signal of gravitational waves reverberating through the universe. By using dead stars as a giant network of gravitational wave detectors, the collaboration—called NANOGrav—was able to meas.....»»
Physicists rediscover a discarded theory to solve a mystery of how glass damping sound
For about half a century, physicists have puzzled over vibrations in glass at low temperatures. The reason: Glass carries sound waves and vibrations differently than other solids—it "vibrates differently." But why? And how can the propagation of so.....»»
