In October 2024 the network detected a clear signal that pointed back to a merger that occurred 700 million light-years away. The progenitor black holes were 20 and 6 solar masses and the larger ...

For decades, you have heard scientists say that most of the universe is missing. They are not being dramatic. They mean it in ...

Spin glasses are physical systems in which the small magnetic moments of particles (i.e., spins) interact with each other in ...

Modeling the effects of molecular handedness on electron spin challenges fundamental assumptions in physics, including Onsager reciprocity and time reversal symmetry.

Higher Spin Field Theory is a burgeoning area of research that extends the conventional framework of gauge theories and gravity by incorporating fields with spin higher than two. Central to this field ...

As federal funding cuts impact decades of research, scientists could turn to black holes for cheaper, natural alternatives to expensive facilities searching for dark matter and similarly elusive ...
