The Milky Way galaxy reproduced by the supercomputer “Aterui II”. The stars are clustered in a bar near the center of the galaxy. Credit: NAOJ 4D2U Project Junichi Baba, Hiroki Nakayama A new simulation conducted on the world’s most powerful dedicated astronomy supercomputer has created a testable scenario that describes the appearance of the Milky Way bar. Comparing this scenario with data from current and future space telescopes can help reveal the evolution of our home galaxy. Astronomy reveals the structure of the Milky Way galaxy in increasing detail. Astronomers know that it is a disk galaxy, with spirals with…

Our knowledge of the universe comes primarily from telescopes. Telescopes allow us to see deeper into space than we can see with the naked eye. There are many earth-based telescopes, but what determines the strength of a telescope? There are several factors directly related to this question. These are the altitude at which the observatory is located and the size of the mirror. Here are 5 of the most powerful telescopes on Earth and in space. 5. Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (GLAST) GLAST captured this image of the center of the Milky Way in gamma rays. Image credit: NASA The…

Nuclear fusion is the process of forcing together two light atomic nuclei and creating a heavier one, in the process taking a tiny amount of matter and turning it into massive amounts of energy. It is nuclear fusion that supplies the stars  —  including the sun — with their energy, allowing them to generate light. The vast majority of energy that Earth receives comes from the sun, and without it, life itself on our planet would be impossible. This energy is directed at our planet from what can loosely be described as our star’s surface, the photosphere. This layer of the ball of superheated…

The office of Professor Stephen Taylor at Vanderbilt University is littered with whiteboards full of complex equations.He is often seen sitting at his desk with distant eyes, contemplating one of the fundamental secrets of the universe.”It’s like discovering a new sensation,” Taylor said of his work on gravitational waves.Originally from Northern Ireland, Taylor has been a physicist for the past 15 years and says he always wanted to study astrophysics. He attended Oxford and Cambridge Universities and completed postdoctoral studies at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Caltech before joining the faculty at Vanderbilt University in 2019.APSU Monday:Certification, Chairs, New Plants,…

Mark Garrick/Science Photo LibraryGetty Images Massive celestial bodies, such as stars, stretch and contract space-time to a measurable extent.Astrophysicists have explored the possibility of “sparkling” produced by gravitational waves scattering from the curvature of spacetime.This glow could enable researchers to measure the internal density profiles of white dwarfs and neutron stars.Could we one day use gravitational waves to probe distant matter in the universe? Researchers at Case Western Reserve University suggest, through theoretical physics calculations, that it is possible. Their work shows that signals scattered by large objects can reveal what’s inside them. 🌟you love the universe So are we.…

The beating heart of IBM’s quantum computer is a chip no bigger than a quarter. These extravagant machines promise to solve difficult problems that stump today’s best classical computers. The chip itself is only one part of a bigger puzzle. Unlike the portable laptops that people use in everyday life, the computing infrastructure that supports the work a quantum chip does is layered like a Russian doll, with convoluted interconnections within a Rube-Goldberg-like contraption. However, even with its complicated construction and mind-boggling design, a quantum computer is still a machine that performs operations by employing both hardware and software. Some…

*This article has been corrected for minor factual errors and typos. “words Math Dennis Sullivan told me minutes after he was running through the corridors of his Oslo hotel, an hour before he was due to receive the Abel Prize. It’s been a crazy few days for Sullivan. Between festivals, lectures, meetings with young mathematicians, and meetings with the King of Norway, he managed to get an interview. There is no Nobel Prize in mathematics. The Abel Prize is probably the closest thing to it (he also has the Fields Medal, which he awards every four years to mathematicians under…

SynthesisAs shown in Fig. 1a, HR-TDPP-TEG was synthesized via Sonogashira carbon-carbon coupling reaction. The reaction involves acetylene functionalized HR and respective di-bromo derivatives of TDPP-TEG (TDPP-TEG-Br) in the presence of palladium catalyst Pd(PPh3)4 in tetrahydrofuran (THF) and diisopropylamine (DIPA) mixture. The HR was synthesized according to the reported procedure with necessary modifications45. A detailed synthetic procedure and structural characterization are shown in Supplementary Note 1 and Figs. 1–4.Fig. 2: Excited-state dynamics of HR-TDPP-TEG monomer.a TA spectra of HR-TDPP-TEG in THF after photoexcitation at 2.3 eV with 35.4 μJ/cm2 at room temperature. Steady-state absorption (gray solid line) and PL (gray dashed line) are presented for reference.…
