Hubble Space Telescope Captures Massive and Bright Star Cluster in the Milky Way

Single stars are often overlooked in favour of their larger cosmic cousins — but when they join forces, they create truly breathtaking scenes to rival even the most glowing of nebulae or swirling of galaxies.

MIT Experiments Show Two Types of Turbulence Within Plasma that Cause Significant Heat Loss

One of the biggest obstacles to making fusion power practical — and realizing its promise of virtually limitless and relatively clean energy — has been that computer models have been unable to predict how the hot, electrically charged gas inside a fusion reactor behaves under the intense heat and pressure required to make atoms stick together.

New Algorithm Speeds Up Simulation Time for Electron Trajectories in Complex Magnetic Fields

In a storage ring like BESSY II electrons circulate nearly with the speed of light passing complex magnetic structures. These magnets guide the electron beam and focus it on the ideal orbit.

Japanese Theoretical Physicist Proposes Methods to Create Muon Pair

A true-muonium only lives for two microseconds. These atoms are made up one positively and one negatively charged elementary particle, also known as muons. Although they have yet to be observed experimentally, a Japanese theoretical physicist has come up with new ways of creating them, in principle, via particle collisions.

New Way of Seeing Electrons Cool Off in Extremely Short Time Period

Two University of California, Riverside assistant professors of physics are among a team of researchers that have developed a new way of seeing electrons cool off in an extremely short time period.

New Findings Challenge Older Ideas About Water Dynamics

For more than 100 years, scientists have debated what the underlying molecular structure of water is, and the common view has been that H2O molecules are either “water-like” or “ice-like.”

NASA’s Van Allen Probes Provide New Insights into Radiation Belts

About 600 miles from Earth’s surface is the first of two donut-shaped electron swarms, known as the Van Allen Belts, or the radiation belts. Understanding the shape and size of the belts, which can shrink and swell in response to incoming radiation from the sun, is crucial for protecting our technology in space.

Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics Develops Measuring System for Infrared Light

Those who want to explore the microcosm need exact control over laser light. Only with its help is it possible to explore electron motion and to influence their behavior.

First Experimental Observations of Knots in Quantum Matter

Knot solitons, or knotted solitary waves, have been successfully created in a quantum-mechanical field that describes a gas of superfluid atoms, known as Bose-Einstein condensate.

ALMA Traces Motion of Ionized Carbon Atoms Between Stars of Quasar W2246-0526

Quasars are distant galaxies that have supermassive black holes in their cores. The black holes are active and emit strong jets of radiation and particles. Quasars are highly energetic bodies and most of them shine bright, though a small fraction are known as Hot, Dust-Obscured Galaxies, or Hot DOGs - a rare type of Quasar. This unusual behavior is also found in the galaxy WISE J224607.57-052635.0, the most luminous galaxy in the universe.
