Detection system uses gravitational waves to map merging black holes - Phys.org
An international collaboration of astrophysicists that includes researchers from Yale has created and tested a detection system that uses gravitational waves to map out the locations of merging black holes—known as supermassive black hole binaries—around the …
A Possible Lunar Impact in 2032 Could Spark Days of Meteor Showers on Earth - Gizmodo
The space rock has a 4.3% chance of striking the Moon in six years—and it could generate a flash nearly as bright as Venus.

The fantasy of starships is no more realistic than magic - Boing Boing
Even at 1/10th light speed, a grain of sand hitting the hull would detonate with nuclear force.
VIP-2 experiment narrows the search for exotic physics beyond the Pauli exclusion principle - Phys.org
The Pauli exclusion principle is a cornerstone of the Standard Model of particle physics and is essential for the structure and stability of matter. Now an international collaboration of physicists has carried out one of the most stringent experimental tests …
When Earth's magnetic field took its time flipping - Phys.org
Earth’s magnetic field is generated by the churn of its liquid nickel-iron outer core, but it is not a constant feature. Every so often, the magnetic north and south poles swap places in what are called geomagnetic reversals, and the record of these flips is …
