Scientists say they have detected evidence of cosmic-scale wind coming from a supermassive black hole at the center of our ...
But graphene doesn’t have a band gap—the energy gap in some solids that allows them to function as semiconductors. In ...
A universe with half-speed light might never produce New Scientist readers capable of posing this question, notes one reader ...
Most people picture a black hole forming the same way: a massive star runs out of fuel, collapses under its own gravity, and ...
Scientists now have a clearer understanding of when and how the Universe could ultimately reach its final, inevitable end.
A dark energy bubble halts a collapsing star from within, explaining how gravastars form with no singularity and no event horizon.
A clock built from thorium-229 has crossed an important line, from a long-discussed concept to a working device. The shift ...
Helium-3 has applications in quantum computing and nuclear fusion. However, the main source of it today is tightly controlled ...
Granular metamaterials made of staple-shaped entangled particles interlock into load-bearing structures without adhesive, ...
A new theoretical study suggests that when a massive star collapses, it might not form a singularity hidden behind an event horizon, but rather the collapse could trigger the birth of a tiny new ...
After 25 years of debate, scientists have proposed a mathematical model for an alternative to black holes called a gravastar.
