Star Shredding Events are Powerful Enough to Accelerate High Energy Particles

A research group has detected the existence of a high-energy neutrino, a specifically elusive particle—as a result of the destruction of a star as it is gobbled by a black hole.

Small Satellite Galaxies Contain Less Molecular Gas at Their Centers

A known fact is that large galaxies tend to steal the gas found in the space between the stars in smaller satellite galaxies.

Scientists Claim that All High-Energy Cosmic Neutrinos are Born by Quasars

Scientists have studied the arrival directions of astrophysical neutrinos with energies of more than a trillion electronvolts (TeV) and came to an unexpected conclusion.

Survey of Milky Way’s Central Molecular Zone Could Help Study Star Formation

The central molecular zone (CMZ) of the Milky Way galaxy covers the innermost 1600 light-years of the galaxy, including a huge complex of molecular clouds that contain nearly 60 million solar-masses of molecular gas.

Lower Speed Limit Also Applies to Complex Quantum Processes

Even in the realm of the tiniest particles with their own unique rules, things cannot continue extremely fast.

A Novel Method to Characterize Topological Phases of Light Using Nonlinear Instabilities

We are most familiar with the four conventional phases of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. Changes between two phases, known as phase transitions, are marked by abrupt changes in material properties such as density.

Precise Control of Quantum Jumps in Atomic Nuclei Using X-Ray Light

From atomic clocks to secure communication to quantum computers: these developments are based on the increasingly better control of the quantum behaviour of electrons in atomic shells with the help of laser light.

Insight-HXMT Identifies the Origin of Fast Radio Bursts

The latest observations from Insight-HXMT were published online in Nature Astronomy on Feb. 18. Insight-HXMT has discovered the very first X-ray burst associated with a fast radio burst (FRB) and has identified that it originated from soft-gamma repeater (SGR) J1935+2154, which is a magnetar in our Milky Way.

CLASP2 Sounding Rocket Provides New Insight into Solar Magnetic Field

Cooperative operations between a solar observation satellite and a sounding-rocket telescope have measured the magnetic field strength in the photosphere and chromosphere above an active solar plage region. This is the first time that the magnetic field in the chromosphere has been charted all the way up to its top. This finding brings us closer to understanding how energy is transferred between layers of the Sun.
