Quantum computers do the (instantaneous) twist
Regardless of what makes up the innards of a quantum computer, its speedy calculations all boil down to sequences of simple instructions applied to...
Spinning black hole powers jet by magnetic flux
Black holes are at the center of almost all galaxies that have been studied so far. They have an unimaginably large mass and therefore...
A 70 degree shift on Jupiter’s icy moon Europa was the...
Europa's outer icy shell has completely reoriented itself in one of the last geologic events recorded on its young surface. Europa's poles are not...
The age of the Earth’s inner core revised
By creating conditions akin to the center of the Earth inside a laboratory chamber, researchers have improved the estimate of the age of our...
Rogue planets could outnumber the stars
An upcoming NASA mission could find that there are more rogue planets—planets that float in space without orbiting a sun—than there are stars in...
Researchers discover first ‘open-charm’ tetraquark
The LHCb experiment at CERN has developed a penchant for finding exotic combinations of quarks, the elementary particles that come together to give us...
