The year was 1900 and Max Planck was a young physicist working on the problem of blackbody radiation . This was an intense ...

In the vast expanse of the universe, astronomers have just uncovered a colossal cosmic structure, breaking all previous ...

Based on observations of the CMB radiation by the European Space Agency's Planck spacecraft, the standard model predicts that ...

The scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Garching work mainly on theory. A core area is the numerical simulation of astrophysical systems with high-performance and ultra-high ...

Our physics expert picks his top-five equations, plus a scheme to supply US power needs with a bucket of baseballs. Thanks, ...

This effect is called the effect of nuclear reorganization. The time of a quantum transition is equal to Planck’s constant divided by the energy of nuclear reorganization, and it is of the order ...

But this is where the headache begins. Using the European Space Agency's Planck satellite to measure CMB, cosmologists obtained a Hubble constant of roughly 67 kilometers per second per megaparsec ...

The Hubble constant is a key metric for measuring how fast the Universe expands. Researchers using the Planck satellite, which studies the cosmic microwave background (CMB)—the faint afterglow of the ...

Since Edwin Hubble’s 1929 discovery that the Universe is expanding, determining the precise rate of this expansion — called the Hubble constant — has been a cornerstone of cosmological research.

She keeps putting the eggs and larvae into her mouth to clean them. She also rapidly moves her rear fins to ensure a constant exchange of water in the shell. While the larvae initially remain in the ...
