Mapping of nuclear phase changes

From United States Department of Energy July 2, 2023 A hypothesized phase diagram of nuclear matter. New data showing that high collision energies produce a quark-gluon plasma (QGP), whereas lower energy collisions do not, will help scientists draw the boundaries between QGP and the hadronic phase.

Next-generation gravitational-wave detectors could pinpoint dark matter

by
Universe Today

Gravitational astronomy is a relatively new discipline that has opened many doors for astronomers to understand how the huge, violent end of the scale works. It has been used to map merging black holes and other extreme events across the universe. Now a team at Cal Tech’s Walter Burke Institute for Theoretical Physics thinks they … Read more

Northern Ireland scientist discovers role in black hole shock waves

by
Artist's impression: Supermassive black holes at the heart of every galaxy spiral around each other, sending gravitational shock waves through the Universe

This week, scientists published evidence that supermassive black holes send out shock waves that distort space and time as they orbit each other. One of the groups that made the discovery is the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOgrav) Collaboration, chaired by Dr Stephen Taylor, a Northern Ireland native. The 35-year-old credits his … Read more

Dark matter could interact in totally unexpected ways with the universe

by
Universe Today

According to Sir Isaac Newton’s theory of universal gravitation, gravity is an action at a distance, where one object feels the influence of another regardless of distance. This became a central feature of classical Newtonian physics which remained the accepted canon for over two hundred years. In the 20th century, Einstein began reconceptualizing gravity with … Read more

Arizona may begin giving expanded access to birth control in July

by
More than 12 million US women take birth control pills.

Soon it is expected that Arizonans will be able to get birth control pills without a prescription. Expanded access could go into effect as early as July 5, according to state health officials. A 2021 law signed by former Arizona Governor Doug Ducey, a Republican, allows Arizona pharmacists to dispense self-administered contraceptives (the pill, patch … Read more

A new AI system can decode the behaviors of fruit flies. Because this is crucial for future human genetics research

by
The fruit flies are shown being monitored by the AI ​​system

The MAFDA system can track individual flies within a larger group, identify behaviors, and compare those behaviors to fruit fly genotypes. (Photo by Tulane University) How to tell if a fruit fly is hungry? Ask a computer. While it may sound like a bad dad joke, it’s a reality at Tulane University, where researchers have … Read more
