Collision Between Two Massive Neutron Stars Seen for First Time

For the first time in history, astronomers have come up with direct detection of gravitational waves as well as light from a single cosmic event—a collision of two huge neutron stars.

International Researchers Successfully Observe Supernova Remnant Using MAGIC Telescopes

Cassiopeia A is a famous supernova remnant, the product of a gigantic explosion of a massive star about 350 years ago. Although discovered in radio observations 50 years ago, now we know that its emitted radiation spans from radio through high-energy gamma rays.

Scientists Demonstrate Electrically Pumped Quantum Dot Micro-Ring Lasers on Silicon Substrates

Decades ago, the Moore's law predicted that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubles approximately every two years. This prediction was proved to be right in the past few decades, and the quest for ever smaller and more efficient semiconductor devices have been a driving force in breakthroughs in the technology.
