The rates of NS mergers do not evolve significantly over the distances we can detect these events through GWs, neutrinos, or as kilonovae for at least a decade. Source evolution does matter for SGRB observations, both prompt and afterglow, but our rates for those events are determined from ...
So, for example, a neutrino that strays close to a neutron can turn the neutron into a proton while the neutrino becomes an electron. Physicists describe this interaction through the exchange of force-carrying particles called bosons. Specific kinds of bosons are responsible for ...
I was under the impression neutrinos are extremely difficult to detect on the earth. That's why they have them buried under lakes and underground. The detector are so sensitive that it easy picks up false reads of gamma radiation so I don't necessarily believe that we'd detect a sudden dr...
For a second revolution in information technology, the experts looked to the spooky behaviour of electrons and atoms known in quantum theory. By 2002 physicists in Australia had made the equivalent of Shannon’s relays of 65 years earlier, but now the switches offered not binary bits, but qubit...
