A new paper from Stockholm University lays out an intriguing idea: What if the spontaneous radiation emitted by single atoms is actually affected by passing gravitational waves? And what if those effects could be read out to create a detection of the gravitational wave in question?Let’s go back to the …

Traditionally, cameras achieve resolution by having many pixels spread across space — the surface of the sensor. They also use a lens to focus the image on that sensor. Single-pixel imagers turn this approach on its head, by using randomly patterned light to illuminate the scene, and recording the result …

According to a research team led by scientists from IBM Almaden Research Center in San Jose, California, and the Institute of Basic Science in Seoul, South Korea, one bit of digital information can now be successfully stored in an individual atom. The research appears today in the journal Nature. The …

Gravity is a good thing when it keeps you firmly planted on Earth’s surface, but it’s quite a nuisance when you’re trying to launch things into space. The economics of space launches are harsh; every ounce sent up has an astronomical cost attached, but the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) …

Astronomers have identified more than 4,700 potential exoplanets in the last few decades, and you can add seven more to the list today. NASA has announced the discovery of an amazing planetary system in orbit of a nearby star consisting of seven Earth-like planets in the habitable zone. The star …
