Robust Computational Model for New State of Matter – Strange Metals

Using cutting-edge computational techniques, researchers from the Flatiron Institute in New York City and Cornell University have solved the first robust theoretical model of strange metals. The work reveals that strange metals are a new state of matter. Strange metals share remarkable properties with black holes, opening exciting new directions…

Monster Black Hole Found in the Early Universe – 1.5 Billion Times More Massive Than Our Sun

An artist’s impression of the quasar Pōniuāʻena. Astronomers discovered this, the second most distant quasar ever found, using the international Gemini Observatory and Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO), Programs of NSF’s NOIRLab. It is the first quasar to receive an indigenous Hawaiian name. In honor of its discovery from Maunakea,…

The mystery of a black hole’s disappearing (and reappearing) meal may be solved Black Hole

The mystery of a black hole’s disappearing (and reappearing) meal may be solved

Home News Science & Astronomy Because black holes can't be studied directly, scientists often watch their feeding habits to understand what these behemoths are doing. So what does it mean when a black hole suddenly stops gobbling up gas completely — and then just as suddenly starts again, hungrier than…
