ALMA Team Observes First Ever Water Snow Line in Protoplanetary Disc

The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) has made the first ever resolved observation of a water snow line within a protoplanetary disc. This line marks where the temperature in the disc surrounding a young star drops sufficiently low for snow to form.

Astronomers Produce Deepest, Most Comprehensive View of Orion Nebula to Date

ESO’s HAWK-I infrared instrument on the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile has been used to peer deeper into the heart of Orion Nebula than ever before. The spectacular picture reveals about ten times as many brown dwarfs and isolated planetary-mass objects than were previously known.

Researchers Explore Radiation Tolerance of AlGaN/GaN High Electron Mobility Transistors

When it comes to putting technology in space, size and mass are prime considerations. High-power gallium nitride-based high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) are appealing in this regard because they have the potential to replace bulkier, less efficient transistors, and are also more tolerant of the harsh radiation environment of space.

Neutrinos Produced in Core of Supernova Highly Localised Compared to Neutrinos from other Sources

Neutrinos are elementary particles known for displaying weak interactions. As a result, neutrinos passing each other in the same place hardly notice one another. Yet, neutrinos inside a supernova collectively behave differently because of their extremely high density.

Switching Quantum Gates with Photons Could Enhance Information Transfer in Quantum Computers

Light particles completely ignore each other. In order that these particles can nevertheless switch each other when processing quantum information, researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Garching have now developed a universal quantum gate.

Researchers Optimize Defects to Enhance Current-Carrying Capacity of High-Temperature Superconducting Wires

High-temperature superconducting materials hold enormous promise for a variety of different applications because of their ability to transmit a current without any dissipation at relatively high temperatures — up to around 90 Kelvin (about -300° F), which permits cooling with liquid nitrogen.
