Jupiter is the undisputed king of the planets in our solar system! Jupiter is bright and easy to spot from our vantage point on Earth, aided by its massive size and reflective cloud tops and streaks. Jupiter even has moons the size of planets: Ganymede, the largest of them, is larger than Mercury. What’s more, … Read more
Last December, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for the experimental confirmation of a quantum phenomenon known for more than 80 years: entanglement. As conceived by Albert Einstein and his collaborators in 1935, quantum objects can be mysteriously related even if they are separated by great distances. But as bizarre as the phenomenon sounds, … Read more
Last week, members of the European Union CoE RAISE project They gathered at CERN for an ‘all hands’ meeting. This innovative project is developing artificial intelligence (AI) approaches for the next generation of “exascale” supercomputers, for use in both science and industry. Use cases explored through the project include optimizing wind farm layouts, designing efficient … Read more
Cosmologists have spent For decades you’ve struggled to understand why the universe is so amazing. Not only is it smooth and flat as far as we can see, but it’s also expanding at an ever-increasingly slow pace, when naive calculations suggest that – out of the Big Bang – space should have been gravitationally collapsed … Read more
Newswise – The first laboratory investigation of the ancient, previously unconfirmed theory of the puzzling formation of planets, stars and supermassive black holes has been produced by spinning surrounding material at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL). This startling confirmation culminates more than 20 years of experimentation at PPPL, the … Read more
