Record LOFAR Radio Sky Map Charts Millions Of Growing Black Holes
London (SDX) Feb 23, 2026 An international team using the Low Frequency Array has released the most detailed low frequency radio map of the sky so far, revealing 13.7 million cosmic radio sources and delivering an unprecedented census of actively growing supermassive black holes across the universe. The new LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey Data Release 3 also showcases a remarkable variety of systems powered by these black holes, whose radio emitting structures can stretch for millions of light years. By tuning in to low frequen ... read more |

Runaway black hole jet outshines legendary death starLos Angeles CA (SPX) Feb 08, 2026 A supermassive black hole that shredded a nearby star is blasting out a jet of energy that has kept brightening for four years, in one of the most powerful events ever recorded in the universe. ... more 
Exploding primordial black hole model may link extreme neutrino and dark matterAmherst MD (SPX) Feb 05, 2026 In 2023, a subatomic particle called a neutrino crashed into Earth with such a high amount of energy that it should have been impossible. In fact, there are no known sources anywhere in the universe ... more 
New analysis sharpens view of cosmic birefringence and universe symmetryLos Angeles CA (SPX) Jan 29, 2026 A research team has developed a method to reduce uncertainties in measurements of cosmic birefringence, a subtle rotation in the polarization of the cosmic microwave background that may hold clues t ... more 
Quark wakes reveal early universe plasma flowed like a liquidLos Angeles CA (SPX) Jan 30, 2026 In its first instants, the universe formed a searing quark gluon plasma in which quarks and gluons moved at near light speed before cooling to build the protons and neutrons that dominate matter tod ... more 
Laser method proposed to extend muon lifetime for science applicationsLondon, UK (SPX) Jan 28, 2026 Unless they work in particle physics or a related discipline, most people are unlikely to have encountered muons, elementary particles that resemble electrons but are around 200 times heavier and in ... more |

Hydrogen nuclei experiment sharpens view of quarks inside matter
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Jan 26, 2026 The lightest element in the universe is helping nuclear physicists probe the inner structure of matter with new precision. At the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, researchers have compared two isotopes of hydrogen to gain sharper insight into how quarks and gluons are arranged inside protons and neutrons. Hydrogen sits at the top of the Periodic Table because its nucleus contains just one proton. That simplest form is known as protium. Like all elements, ... read more
