Enhanced gravitational wave detection accelerates neutron star and black hole research Los Angeles CA (SPX) Apr 26, 2024 A recent collaboration led by the University of Minnesota Twin Cities College of Science and Engineering and an international team has developed new technology to improve gravitational wave detection. This advancement allows for sending alerts to astronomers and astrophysicists within 30 seconds of detection, significantly enhancing the study of neutron stars and black holes. The researchers aim to deepen the understanding of how these celestial phenomena contribute to the formation of heavy eleme ... read more |
Enhancing gravitational wave detectors with Kerr-enhanced Optical Springs Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Apr 08, 2024 Since the landmark detection of gravitational waves from a binary neutron star merger in 2017, researchers have been pushing the boundaries of physics to uncover more about our universe. These waves ... more London, UK (SPX) Apr 08, 2024 In a significant advancement in astrophysics, the University of Portsmouth's Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation (ICG) has played a crucial role in detecting an extraordinary gravitational-wave s ... more Berlin, Germany (SPX) Mar 27, 2024 In an unprecedented effort to validate the existence of quantum gravity, researchers at the University of Copenhagen's Niels Bohr Institute have embarked on a large-scale Antarctic experiment. By mo ... more Berlin, Germany (SPX) Mar 22, 2024 Scientists have made a breakthrough in understanding how the brain senses our body's position and movement, known as proprioception. This discovery, led by Alexander Mathis at the Swiss Federal Inst ... more |

Macao science satellites begin study of South Atlantic Anomaly Sydney, Australia (SPX) Nov 29, 2023 The Macao Science Satellite 1A and 1B, after a successful six-month trial in orbit, have officially commenced formal operations, marking a significant milestone in space-based geomagnetic monitoring ... more Beijing, China (SPX) Nov 08, 2023 In a groundbreaking development of China's manned lunar missions, the China National Space Administration is calling for possible experiments to leverage the Moon's unique properties in science. Und ... more Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Nov 03, 2023 Future missions will be able to find signatures of violating the parity-symmetry in the cosmic microwave background polarization more accurately after a pair of researchers has managed to take into ... more Boston MA (SPX) Oct 24, 2023 In 2015, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, or LIGO, made history when it made the first direct detection of gravitational waves, or ripples in space and time, produced by a pa ... more Washington DC (SPX) Oct 13, 2023 As space travel extends to greater duration and distance, missions may require a propellant refill in space. To achieve this, spacecraft may require larger tanks and efficient refueling along with t ... more |
Scientists observe the influence of gravity on antimatter for the first time Manchester UK (SPX) Oct 01, 2023 Scientists have demonstrated the existence of gravity between antimatter and Earth, reaffirming Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. It is thought that Isaac Newton's historic work on gravity was inspired by watching an apple fall to Earth from a tree. But for decades, scientists have wondered what would happen to an "anti-apple" made of antimatter - would it fall in the same way if it existed? Until now, the question has left scientists with an incomplete picture of the Universe' ... read more Greenbelt MD (SPX) Sep 22, 2023 Astronomers using simulated data have produced a glimpse of the sky as it would appear in gravitational waves, cosmic ripples in space-time generated by orbiting objects. The image shows how space-b ... more |
