| In a pair of merging supermassive black holes, a new method for measuring the void Posted: 09 May 2022 10:26 AM PDT Researchers have devised a potentially easier way of gazing into the abyss. Their imaging technique could allow astronomers to study black holes smaller than M87's, a monster with a mass of 6.5 billion suns, harbored in galaxies more distant than M87, which at 55 million light-years away, is still relatively close to our own Milky Way. |
| New method to synchronize devices on Earth makes use of cosmic rays Posted: 09 May 2022 08:20 AM PDT Various technologies, networks and institutions benefit from or require accurate time keeping to synchronize their activities. Current ways of synchronizing time have some drawbacks that a new proposed method seeks to address. The cosmic time synchronizer works by synchronizing devices around cosmic ray events detected by those devices. This could bring accurate timing abilities to remote sensing stations, or even underwater, places that other methods cannot serve. Early tests show promise, but the real challenge may lie in the adoption of this new technique. |
| Research breakthrough means warp speed 'Unruh effect' can finally be tested in lab settings Posted: 09 May 2022 07:09 AM PDT A major hurdle for work at the forefront of fundamental physics is the inability to test cutting-edge theories in a laboratory setting. But a recent discovery opens the door for scientists to see ideas in action that were previously only understood in theory or represented in science fiction. |
