This black hole merger animation was created using data collected by the LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave detectors, an ...

"The polarization of the wave corresponds to different modes of field oscillations. For linear polarization, the electric and magnetic fields oscillate along a single direction, whereas for circular ...

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration, with a substantial contribution from the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy (MPIfR), has unveiled new, detailed images of the supermassive black ...

Terahertz (THz) waves, which are located between microwaves and infrared light in the electromagnetic spectrum, can pass through many materials without causing damage, making them useful for security ...

Sliding ferroelectrics are a type of two-dimensional (2D) material realized by stacking nonpolar monolayers (atom-thick layers that lack an electric dipole). When these individual layers are stacked, ...

Scientists have unveiled a new approach to detecting gravitational waves in the milli-Hertz frequency range, providing access to astrophysical and cosmological phenomena that are not detectable with ...
