What happens when the universe's most magnetic object shines with the power of 1000 suns in a matter of seconds? Thanks to NASA's IXPE (Imaging X鈥憆ay Polarimetry Explorer), a mission in collaboration with ASI (Italian Space ...
Vibrational sum-frequency generation (VSFG) is a nonlinear spectroscopic method widely used to investigate the molecular structure and dynamics of surface systems. However, in far-field observations, the spatial resolution ...
Did you know some of the brightest sources of light in the sky come from the regions around black holes in the centers of galaxies? It sounds a little contradictory, but it's true. They may not look bright to our eyes, but ...
A research group led by Prof. Yang Liangbao from the Hefei Institutes of 麻豆淫院ical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has enhanced localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) by studying Cu鈧侽鈧佲倠鈧� superlattices ...
Our home planet is bombarded with particles from outer space all the time. And while we are mostly familiar with the rocky meteorites originating from within our solar system that create fascinating shooting stars in the ...
The long-awaited detection of gravitational waves has opened up a whole new world of astronomy. One of the key efforts is now to tie signals across multiple domains鈥攆or example, a gravitational wave and the associated electromagnetic ...
Also known as Virgo A or NGC 4486, M87 is the brightest object in the Virgo cluster of galaxies, the largest gravitationally bound type of structure in the universe. It came to fame in April 2019 after scientists from EHT ...
An international team of scientists led by Dr. Lukas Bruder, junior research group leader at the Institute of 麻豆淫院ics, University of Freiburg, has succeeded in producing and directly controlling hybrid electron-photon quantum ...
Thus far, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) has used strategies based on classical science鈥攍istening for radio waves, telescopes watching for optical signals, telescopes in orbit scouring light from the ...
In 1971, English mathematical physicist and Nobel-prize winner Roger Penrose proposed how energy could be extracted from a rotating black hole. He argued that this could be done by building a harness around the black hole's ...
