Seeing with radio waves
Scientists from the Division of Physics at the University of Tsukuba used the quantum effect called 'spin-locking' to significantly enhance the resolution when performing radio-frequency imaging of nitrogen-vacancy defects in diamond. This work may l.....»»
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.....»»

Global warming–induced sea level changes could increase earthquake risk
Earthquakes often occur along plate boundaries, when sudden movements of the "stuck" plates release elastic strain energy, sending out seismic waves that result in the ground shaking familiar to many worldwide. More rarely, earthquakes occur within p.....»»
Astronomers are hoping to detect gravitational waves coming from supernova 1987A
A supernova explosion is a cataclysmic explosion that marks the violent end of a massive star's life. During the event, the star releases immense amounts of energy, often outshining the combined light from all the stars in the host galaxy for a very.....»»
