Supercooled phase transitions: can they explain gravitational wave signals?

To create nHz frequency signals, the vacuum junctions must be supercooled. These slow transitions are difficult to complete due to the cosmic expansion of the universe. Even when the transition is complete, the wave frequencies can shift away from nHz. Although nanohertz gravitational waves are cool, their origin is probably not supercooled.

Scientists may finally be close to explaining strange radio signals from beyond the Milky Way

radio bursts in night sky

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are intense, short-lived bursts of radio waves originating from outside the Milky Way that can emit the same amount of energy in just thousandths of a second as it takes the Sun three days to emit. However, despite their power and the fact that up to 10,000 FRBs can erupt in … Read more
