A new study from Johns Hopkins University suggests that supermassive black holes—those cosmic behemoths lurking at the centers of galaxies—might already be generating the kinds of high-energy particle collisions researchers have spent decades trying to recreate here on Earth. Published today in Physical Review Letters, the study proposes that certain spinning black holes could serve as natural particle accelerators, rivaling or even exceeding the capabilities of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. On a quiet pandemic afternoon in 2021, Zhiyuan Wang, then a graduate student at Rice University, was alleviating his boredom by working on a weird mathematical problem. After he found an exotic solution, he started to wonder if the math could be interpreted physically. Eventually, he realized that it seemed to describe a new type of particle: one that’s neither a matter particle nor a force-carrying particle. It appeared to be some

Forward-looking: Antimatter consists of particles with properties opposite to those of regular particles. It plays a central role in modern physics research and forms naturally through cosmic collisions or radioactive decay. However, studying it is difficult, as contact with normal matter results in instant annihilation. The European Organization for Nuclear Research, better known as CERN, is one of the few places on Earth capable of routinely producing antimatter from high-energy collisions wi

They started by imagining a very fine grid superimposed on their fluid. They then computed how long particles spent in each square of the grid, on average. In some squares, the fluid acted like a rushing river: Particles tended to sweep straight across the square, spending only a brief period of time there. In other squares, small eddies might push particles around, slowing them down. The problem was that the numbers the mathematicians calculated might vastly differ from square to square — reve

NASA’s Webb space telescope has captured haunting new views of Jupiter’s auroral display, revealing the bright light show in exquisite, never-before-seen details. Using the telescope’s most recent observations of the gas giant, scientists uncovered a curious discrepancy between how Jupiter’s auroras appear to Webb versus Hubble.

Physicists have placed a new limit on how big the elusive neutrino can be—one of the universe’s smallest known particles—a limit that makes other subatomic particles look as big as black holes by comparison. In a new result published this week in Science, researchers have put a new upper limit on the mass of this itsy-bitsy particle: no more than 0.45 electron volts (eV). For context, that’s less than one-millionth the mass of an electron, which clocks in at a comparatively gargantuan 511,000 e

When you swap two paraparticles, these hidden properties change in tandem. As an analogy, imagine that these properties are colors. Start with two paraparticles, one that’s internally red and another that’s internally blue. When they swap places, rather than keeping these colors, they both change in corresponding ways, as prescribed by the mathematics of the particular model. Perhaps the swap leaves them green and yellow. This quickly turns into a complex game, where paraparticles affect each ot

You might be familiar with the qubit, the fundamental unit of quantum information. As its name suggests, a qubit in a quantum computer performs the same function as a bit in a classical computer, with a major difference: Qubits can be treated as a 0 or 1 simultaneously, allowing quantum systems to process information much more rapidly than the fastest classical systems. But there’s also a qudit, a different way of storing and making use of quantum information. Gizmodo spoke to Christine Muschik
