The ‘Elegant’ Math Model That Could Help Rescue Coral Reefs
...starfish. The ocean was a home, but in school, Llabrés preferred physics and math. In Barcelona for college, she dove into the theoretical mysteries of black holes and quantum gravity....
New Maps of the Bizarre, Chaotic Space-Time Inside Black Holes
...Einstein’s general theory of relativity, which is used to describe the gravity of black holes, uses a single field equation to explain how space curves and matter moves. But that...
How Hans Bethe Stumbled Upon Perfect Quantum Theories
...— lets them precisely predict the otherwise unknowable. And they have marveled at how those stars occasionally do align, allowing for perfect predictions of ice, protons, black holes and more....
How Will We Know We’re Not Alone?
...is unraveling secrets of black holes, early galaxies. So a dedicated telescope that’s specifically designed to find signs of life in the atmosphere of these small rocky planets is our...
The Year in Physics
...little red dots, grape-like clusters, shockingly big young black holes: Astrophysicists are reveling in the “beautiful confusion” of that formative epoch of cosmic history. The Webb telescope also enabled a...
What Is Entropy? A Measure of Just How Little We Really Know.
...what entropy means in black holes. “The observational entropy framework provides much more clarity,” said Philipp Strasberg, a physicist at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, who recently included it in...
How Is Cell Death Essential to Life?
...like, they basically make pores. And so they release these perforin proteins that make holes in the membranes of the target cell. And that will trigger either an apoptotic response...
It Might Be Possible To Detect Gravitons After All
...(LIGO) to first sense a rumble in space-time in 2015 — one sent out by a collision between distant black holes. Detecting a single graviton would be harder still, akin...
How Do Merging Supermassive Black Holes Pass the Final Parsec?
...by merging supermassive black holes in their final days. “With LISA we will actually see supermassive black holes merging,” Pacucci said. The nature of that signal could reveal “particular traits...
