Mystery Behind Milky Way’s “Unusual” Star Continues to Puzzle Experts

A star named KIC 8462852 was a top topic in and beyond the astronomy community during 2015 because of a chain of rapid, mysterious dimming events observed while it was being studied using NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope. And the star has unrelenting foiled scientists’ efforts to comprehend it ever since.

Scientists Discover Chiral Spin Mode of Electron Spins

Imagine two schools of fish that swim in circles in clockwise and counterclockwise directions. It will be highly confusing. At present, researchers from Rutgers University-New Brunswick as well as the University of Florida have found out the “chiral spin mode,” that is, oceans of electrons spinning in circles of opposite directions.
