Nobel Prize in Physics honors the discovery of a supermassive compact object at the heart of the Milky Way
By tracking the orbits of stars close to the galactic center, Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez ruled out all possibilities besides a black hole. Continue reading
Ion Recoil from Photon Beam Observed
Experiments confirm that photonionized molecules get a backward kick, as predicted by theory. Continue reading
Three Helium-Ammonia Compounds Found for Icy Planets
Stable compounds made from helium and ammonia are predicted to form at the extreme pressures found inside Neptune and Uranus. Continue reading
Rare nuclear transition provides evidence for stellar explosion mechanism
With its higher-than-expected propensity to capture electrons, neon could drive some stars’ thermonuclear death. Continue reading

Physical cosmology wins a share of the Nobel Prize in Physics
James Peebles developed a mathematical framework that describes how the universe evolved. Decades of empirical evidence later, it still holds up. Continue reading
Iron-rich object closely orbits a white dwarf
The newly discovered object could be the core of a planet that survived the transition of its host star into a red giant. Continue reading
