Astronomers have operated under the assumption for 50 years that a colossal black hole lurks at the heart of our galaxy, but a new space theory now poses a bold challenge. Research published in ...

The Mu2e experiment reached an important milestone as the collaboration moved a key component of the experiment, called the ...

After 25 years, Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider—the U.S.’s largest particle collider—has ...

Cavazos holds a PhD in atomic physics and runs the University of Chicago’s Quantum Educational Laboratory, where he teaches students about quantum computing. He hopes to see the technology used to ...

The Milky may not have a supermassive black hole at its centre, scientists claim. Until now, it has been widely believed that ...

Humanity has worked itself into a position where we can detect a single high-energy particle from space and wonder where in Nature it came from. Billions of people likely don’t care at all about such ...

There is a lot we have yet to understand about the center of the Milky Way—could it be due to a mass of invisible dark matter?

A cluster of 7,000 sodium atoms has just been coaxed into behaving as a single, ghostly wave, stretching quantum weirdness ...

For decades, the motions of stars near the center of our Milky Way Galaxy have been treated as some of the clearest evidence ...

A rare black hole explosion accounts for an “impossible” neutrino detection, say UMass Amherst scientists, possibly hinting ...

Ciaran O'Hare scribbles symbols using colored markers across his whiteboard like he's trying to solve a crime—or perhaps planning one. He bounces around the edges of the board, slowly filling it with ...

Once this effect kicks in, the black hole discharges rapidly and explodes. Crucially, the UMass team calculated that this ...
