Searching for the Universe’s Most Energetic Particles, Astronomers Turn on the Radio
At any time due to the fact their discovery in the 1960s, ultrahigh-vitality cosmic rays have captivated researchers, who wonder in which they arrive from. Like all cosmic rays, they are arguably misnamed: they are not “rays” of radiation but somewhat subatomic particles, this sort of as protons or even […]
Scientists Have Found a New Liquid Phase After 100 Years of Searching
A liquid phase initially proposed in the 1910s has lastly been realised. Working with a liquid crystal compound, researchers have identified a new “ferroelectric nematic” phase that could open up up an whole new class of materials and technological developments. There are quite a few phases of liquid crystal, […]
