Physicists Formulate General Mechanism Responsible for Emergence of Spacetime Rainbow

We have probably all seen the experiment: when white light passes through a prism it splits to form a rainbow. This is because white light is in fact a mixture of photons of different energies, and the greater the energy of the photon, the more it is deflected by the prism.

Astronomers Detect Signs of Invisible Black Hole Around the Center of the Milky Way

Astronomers using the Nobeyama 45-m Radio Telescope have detected signs of an invisible black hole with a mass of 100 thousand times the mass of the Sun around the center of the Milky Way. The team assumes that this possible “intermediate mass” black hole is a key to understanding the birth of the supermassive black holes located in the centers of galaxies.

Researchers Observe Abrupt Excitation of Fluctuations in High-Temperature Plasma

At the National Institutes of Natural Sciences National Institute for Fusion Science, researchers have developed the high-energy heavy ion beam probe, in order to perform potential measurement inside a high-temperature plasma that was generated in the Institute's Large Helical Device (LHD). Engaging in collaborative research with Kyushu University's Research Institute for Applied Mechanics, they have discovered the new phenomenon of abrupt excitation of fluctuations and have clarified the mechanism of this phenomenon. Two successive research papers that summarize these research results were published in Physical Review Letters, the journal of the American Institute of Physics, on January 8, 2016.

Researchers Detect Most Energetic Pulsed Emission Radiation from Neutron Star

Scientists working with the Major Atmospheric Gamma-ray Imaging Cherenkov (MAGIC) observatory have reported the discovery of the most energetic pulsed emission radiation ever detected from the neutron star in the center of the supernova of 1054 A.D., known as the Crab pulsar.

Researchers Develop New Method for Making High-Energy Lithium-Ion Batteries

Scientists from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have discovered a new method that could help develop lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide, also known as NMC. NMC is one of the most promising chemistries for developing improved lithium-ion batteries, particularly when it comes to electric vehicle applications. Though it has been a challenge in the past for scientist to gain a higher capacity out of them.
