WASHINGTON — A European spacecraft is set to launch on a mission to help astronomers resolve an “embarrassing situation” in cosmology, although the launch itself is another kind of embarrassing situation for Europe. The European Space Agency’s Euclid spacecraft is ready to launch on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. Liftoff is scheduled for 11:11 a.m. … Read more
A new system developed by researchers at the University of Rochester allows them to conduct quantum simulations in a synthetic space that mimics the physical world by controlling the frequency, or color, of quantum entangled photons as time elapses.

Astronomers have detected high-energy neutrinos coming from within our Milky Way galaxy, potentially opening up an exciting new window of research, a new study reports. Neutrinos are extraordinarily difficult to spot, as they rarely collide with atoms. A light-year’s worth of lead would stop only about half of the neutrinos flying through it (which explains … Read more
In an unprecedented move, astronomers have managed to capture detailed images of a star outside our solar system, including gas bubbles on its surface. These images, showing giant bubbles of gas hotter than our sun, were taken from the star R Doradus. Surprisingly, gas bubbles appear to be disappearing into the star’s interior at a … Read more
