Collaborate Disseminate
A huge new dataset could soon help unlock the cosmic mystery of fast radio bursts (FRBs). In the space of a few weeks, over 1,600 new signals were detected coming from one of the most well-studied sources of FRBs, essentially ruling out a leading hypot… Continue reading Cosmic mystery of fast radio bursts deepens with flurry of activity
You’ve probably heard the term magnetic gradient before, but have you ever seen one? Now you can in [supermagnetman’s] video, below. The key is to use very fine (2 micron) …read more Continue reading Magnetic Experiments Shows Gradients
Physicists in Germany have produced the coldest temperature ever recorded – a chilly 38 trillionths of a degree above absolute zero. The strange experiment involved dropping a quantum gas, and switching a magnetic field on and off to bring its atoms to… Continue reading Quantum gas free fall experiment creates coldest temperature ever recorded
Astronomers have detected a strange radio source coming from somewhere near the center of the Milky Way galaxy. The signal repeats seemingly at random, and can’t be neatly attributed to any known astronomical object, leading the team to consider that i… Continue reading Bizarre repeating radio signal near galactic center may be brand new object
The average Hackaday reader likely knows, at least in the academic sense, what a magnetic field looks like. But as the gelatinous orbs in our skull can perceive only a …read more Continue reading See the Unseen With this Magnetic Field Visualizer
As revolutionary as they could be, quantum computers still have a few kinks to iron out, such as controlling more than a few dozen qubits at once. Now, researchers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) have found a way to control potentially mill… Continue reading Crystal prism provides better control to quantum computer chips
Astronomers are another step closer to solving one of the most intriguing cosmic mysteries of recent times – fast radio bursts (FRBs). A team has now traced five signals to their points of origin within the spiral arms of galaxies, narrowing down the l… Continue reading Five fast radio bursts tracked to home galaxies
One of the joys of an itinerant existence comes in periodically being reunited with the fruits of various orders that were sent to hackerspaces or friends somewhere along the way. …read more Continue reading Review: What On Earth Is An Electromagnetic Radiation Tester And Why Would I Need One?
Geologists have pieced together an uncertain part of Earth’s ancient history. A team in Australia has found new evidence that suggests the cycle of supercontinents forming and breaking up only started about two billion years ago.Continue ReadingCategor… Continue reading Paleomagnetism suggests supercontinent cycle began two billion years ago
Two years ago, astronomers revealed the first-ever direct images of a black hole. Now, the collaboration behind the historic image has released a new version that shows the polarization of the light around the object.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, Sc… Continue reading Polarized light reveals secrets of black hole’s magnetic field
