Einstein's gravity theory passes toughest test yet
A newly-discovered system containing a pulsar and its white-dwarf companion has put gravitational theories to the most extreme test yet. The two objects orbit each other once every two and a half hours. In such a system, the orbits decay and gravitational waves are emitted,...
Last week South Africa became the 20th country to join the ESRF. The synchrotron user community in South Africa is small but has had some spectacular successes in the last few years. In 2011, a research team from the University...
A giant cloud of gas is headed towards the center of the Milky Way galaxy. On its path towards the galactic center, the cloud may reveal many unseen black holes as they accrete and heat the gas, emitting x-ray radiation in the process....
A multi-national team of physicists have directly imaged the nodal structure of a hydrogen atom's wave function in a static dc field. As reported in Physical Review Letters, the researchers exposed a beam of hydrogen atoms to a transverse...
Physicists at the University of Texas — Arlington have developed a two-photon optogenetic tool that could help map out neurons and track their interactions in different areas of the brain. In previous work, the researchers used a tiny near-infrared tool to stimulate...
A team of researchers in Germany have managed to create artificial magnetic monopoles by merging skyrmions, a topological excitation where a large number of spins organize in compact vortex structures. These magnetic vortices are found in a wide range of chiral magnets,...
