Illuminating the dark matter with gravitational waves
Using Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), a team of astronomers at the University of Zurich have observed gravitational waves emitted by black holes. These shock...
Geometry of spacetime as a quantum information processing device
In the race for building a scalable quantum computer, devices using photons as a carrier of quantum information are in the front-runner. The reason...

Newly developed instrument provides new look at supermassive black hole’s magnetic field
Scientists for the first time, have created a map by using the CanariCam infrared camera attached to the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) sited on...
![This illustration shows the percentage of marine animals that went extinct at the end of the Permian era by latitude, from the model (black line) and from the fossil record (blue dots). A greater percentage of marine animals survived in the tropics than at the poles. The color of the water shows the temperature change, with red being most severe warming and yellow less warming. At the top is the supercontinent Pangaea, with massive volcanic eruptions emitting carbon dioxide. The images below the line represent some of the 96 percent of marine species that died during the event.
