Daily Telescope: The Milky Way soars above Devil’s Kitchen
"Along this loop is a set of red rock hoodoos that pop out of seemingly nowhere." Enlarge / Behold, it's the Devil's Milky Way. (credit: Taylor Thomas) Welcome to the Daily Telescope. There is a little too much darkn.....»»
Creating vortices in a superfluid made of light
By using a special combination of laser beams as a very fast stirrer, RIKEN physicists have created multiple vortices in a quantum photonic system and tracked their evolution. This system could be used to explore exotic new physics related to the eme.....»»
Boomerang-like beams of light: Research makes progress toward observing quantum backflow in two dimensions
Researchers at the University of Warsaw's Faculty of Physics have superposed two light beams twisted in the clockwise direction to create anti-clockwise twists in the dark regions of the resultant superposition. The results of the research have been.....»»
The echoes from inflation could still be shaking the cosmos today
In the very early universe, physics were weird. A process known as inflation, during which the universe went from a single infinitesimal point to everything we see today, was one such instance of those weird physics. Now, scientists from the Chinese.....»»
Reactor physics research: Advanced neural networks reveal new potential in solving K-eigenvalue problems
In a new study of reactor physics published in the journal Nuclear Science and Techniques, researchers from Sichuan University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, have introduced two innovative neural networks to address the longstanding challenges assoc.....»»
Study resolves puzzles in gravitational collapse of gravitational waves
Black holes are regions in space where the gravitational pull is so strong that nothing can escape them, not even light. These fascinating regions have been the focus of countless studies, yet some of the physics underlying their formation is not yet.....»»
Physics reveals secret of how nature helped sculpt the Great Sphinx of Giza
This ancient wonder may have started out as a natural formation known as a yardang. Enlarge / Experiments yield fresh evidence to support controversial hypothesis about the formation of the Great Sphinx of Giza. (credit: MusikAni.....»»
Tracking down quantum fluctuations of the vacuum to explore the limits of physics
Absolutely empty—that is how most of us envision the vacuum. Yet, in reality, it is filled with an energetic flickering: the quantum fluctuations......»»
Many physicists assume we must live in a multiverse—but their basic math may be wrong
One of the most startling scientific discoveries of recent decades is that physics appears to be fine-tuned for life. This means that for life to be possible, certain numbers in physics had to fall within a certain, very narrow range......»»
First release of images demonstrates Euclid space telescope"s potential
Two things are needed to understand how the universe came into being and how it has evolved to its present form. Cosmological computer models employ the laws of physics to depict the universe's expected appearance today, while observations made with.....»»
A new theory linking evolution and physics has scientists baffled—but is it solving a problem that doesn"t exist?
In October, a paper titled "Assembly theory explains and quantifies selection and evolution" appeared in the journal Nature. The authors—a team led by Lee Cronin at the University of Glasgow and Sara Walker at Arizona State University—claim their.....»»

Animals skin patterns are a matter of physics—research could improve medical diagnostics and synthetic materials
Patterns on animal skin, such as zebra stripes and poison frog color patches, serve various biological functions, including temperature regulation, camouflage and warning signals. The colors making up these patterns must be distinct and well separate.....»»
How Einstein"s daydream of light created relativity
Einstein's fascination with light, considered quirky at the time, would lead him down the path to a brand new theory of physics......»»
Researchers develop cheap and efficient ethanol catalyst from laser-melted nanoparticles
Ethanol fuel cells are regarded as promising sources of green electricity. However, expensive platinum catalysts are used in their production. Research on laser melting of suspensions carried out at the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Acad.....»»
Significant increase in short-duration extreme precipitation over mountainous areas in China seen under global warming
