[ad_1] Nov. 12 (UPI) – Scientists have discovered a new family of quasiparticles that defy textbook physics. The researchers found the particles, called Brown-Zak fermions, in graphene-based superlattices. Physicists spotted the particles and their strange behavior – described Friday in the journal Nature Communications – after lining a single layer …

[ad_1] Astrophysicists have reconstructed the first complete family tree of the Milky Way by analyzing millions of stars. Scientists have long known that galaxies can grow from the merger of smaller galaxies, but until now the ancestry of our galaxy has been a mystery. Using artificial intelligence (AI) they analyzed …

[ad_1] Astrophysicists used complex computer models powered by artificial intelligence to produce an ancestral family tree of the Milky Way. The research revealed that the Milky Way, when it was in its formation stages some 11 billion years ago, suffered its largest collision ever. Intergalactic collisions were common in our …

[ad_1] The merger of neutron stars results in the brightest magnetar ever observed. Scientists under the guidance Amanda Morris of Northwestern University managed to discover a magnetar, formed by the merger of two neutron stars, which also led to the formation of a kilo. The lightning from the merger of …
