Researchers develop room-temperature quantum sensor for gravitational waves

Scientists at MIT have created a quantum sensor capable of detecting gravitational waves at room temperature, potentially transforming astrophysics research. The device, detailed in a new Nature study, uses defects in diamonds to measure minute gravitational changes. This breakthrough could enable more accessible detection of cosmic events like black hole mergers.

Astronomers find most distant odd radio circle

7. oktober 2025 Rapporteret af AI

Astronomers have discovered the most distant and powerful odd radio circle, a massive double-ringed radio structure nearly 10 billion years old. Using citizen science and the LOFAR telescope, researchers propose these cosmic rings form from galactic superwinds rather than black hole mergers. The finding challenges existing theories and highlights the role of human pattern recognition in astronomy.

Scientists develop new AI method for dark matter detection
