Why are âfireworksâ coming from a black hole? This is what scientists say
A supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way galaxy is creating a light show thatâs intriguing astronomers.
Flares of light have been observed in a disk orbiting the black hole Sagittarius A*, according to a team of astrophysicists studying the black hole who published their findings Tuesday in The Astrophysical Journal Letters. Known as an accretion disk, itâs hot, contains a steady flow of materials like gas or plasma, and flickers constantly. The disks emit light that can be detected using infrared and X-ray instruments, which helps astronomers better observe the black holes the disks orbit.
AI-designed chips are so weird that âhumans cannot really understand themâ â but they perform better than anything weâve created
AI models have, within hours, created more efficient wireless chips through deep learning, but it is unclear how their ârandomly shapedâ designs were produced.
Coupling of electronic transition to ferroelectric order in a 2D semiconductor
Experimental evidence for charge coupling to ferroelectric soft mode is scarce. Here, the authors find a photogenerated coherent phonon coupling to the electronicion above the bandgap in the van der Waals ferroelectric semiconductor NbOI2.
Patent Board Overturns Rejection of Hybrid Quantum Computing Method
