Researchers at the University of Warwick have created a quantum diamond sensor, a diamond-based magnetometer capable of accurately detecting cancer cells.
Tackling space debris and safety: The Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has developed an innovative system to detect and characterise orbital debris. This technology offers crucial information on the growing junk field around Earth.
A new advancement in quantum technology is emerging from the University of Colorado Denver, where an electrical engineering professor has developed a silicon-based chip capable of generating powerful electromagnetic fields.
Columbia University researchers have discovered a new way to create quantum materials. By utilising the chemistry of atomic orbitals, they've found a novel source of "frustration" that leads to complex quantum behaviours
Quantum computing can solve problems that are too complicated for standard machines, but understanding when and how this "quantum advantage" will be realised has remained a significant question.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has completed its comprehensive imaging of the Sombrero galaxy, revealing its huge stellar bulge and intricate dust disk in stunning near-infrared detail. These observations are key to understanding the galaxy's turbulent past and evolution.
New observations from the James Webb Space Telescope reveal the surprising origin of the ultra-hot exoplanet WASP-121b. Detecting atmospheric methane and silicon monoxide suggests this ultra-hot world formed in a colder, distant region akin to our outer Solar System, then migrated inward.
New research offers compelling evidence for intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs), the "missing links" in black hole evolution. These studies provide unprecedented insights into the universe's earliest stars and galaxy formation, bridging the gap between stellar and supermassive black holes.
High-frequency radio astronomy and MISTRAL: Recent breakthroughs in observational astronomy, coupled with rapid advancements in spaceflight technology, are reshaping our understanding of the cosmos and laying the groundwork for an interplanetary future.
Mysterious, ultra-high-energy cosmic rays have baffled scientists for decades. Now, new research from Norway suggests supermassive black holes and their powerful winds might be the long-sought cosmic accelerators behind these extraordinary particles.
Galactic turbulence, a cosmic enigma influencing everything from star formation to particle movement, has been simulated with unprecedented precision. The surprising results challenge long-held theories about energy flow in the vast interstellar medium.
To combat the growing threat of undetected space debris, a UAF scientist is spearheading a project to design a "Space Debris Hunter" satellite. This initiative aims to track objects as small as one centimetre, safeguarding vital satellite infrastructure.
