Together, they form Helios, a new quantum computer built by the British-American company Quantinuum. Quantum computers use ...

By remotely accessing an IBM quantum computer, a research scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has successfully ...

The approach is known for high accuracy, but scaling it up while preserving that accuracy is technically difficult. Helios ...

A new set of supercomputer simulations published June 5, 2026 in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society has provided the most quantitatively precise confirmation yet of why binary star ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising force that may help explain how binary star systems form so quickly. New supercomputer simulations show that magnetic fields surrounding newborn stars can act ...

(Nanowerk News) New simulations show that interactions with a magnetic field can work to decrease the distance between still forming binary protostars. These results can help explain the ...

Most people think of asteroids as lonely rocks moving through space. Many are not. About 15 percent of the asteroids near Earth have tiny moons, and that means a lot of them travel as binary systems.

In theory, it could happen – one of the very first solutions to the three-body problem was this scenario. But it is very unlikely to be stable over time. You need the stars to have near equal mass and ...

Some stars in our galaxy, known as hypervelocity stars, move much faster than most other stars in the Milky Way. In fact, they are traveling so fast that our galaxy’s gravity can’t hold onto them and ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has shown us images of space we'd never see otherwise, and one of the latest wonders it has captured is of an unusual star system in our galaxy with what the agency ...

How many Earth-sized exoplanets orbit binary star systems (two-star systems)? This is what a recent study accepted by Astronomy & Astrophysics hopes to address as an international team of researchers ...
