Researchers use silicon nanoparticles to visualize the coalescence of quantized vortices that occur in superfluid helium

Scientists from the Graduate School of Engineering Science at Osaka University have shown how silicon nanoparticles can become trapped inside the vortices that form inside superfluid helium. This work opens up new possibilities in optical research for other quantum properties of superfluid helium. The rules...

Cosmic spider is the source of powerful gamma-rays

Astronomers have discovered the first example of a binary system by using the 4.1-meter SOAR Telescope in Chile. Here a star in the process of becoming a white dwarf is orbiting a neutron star. This star has just finished turning into a rapidly spinning...

Chinese tokamak facility achieves 120-million-degree C for 1,056 seconds

Researchers have announced that they were able to hold 120-million-degree Celsius plasma for 1,056 seconds. This was a new record for holding superheated plasma. The development of fusion as a power source that could replace coal-fired power plants. The took inspiration from the Sun. As Sun produces light...

Scientists discover cool ‘hotspots’ under Earth’s crust

A new study found out that hotspots that created volcanic islands like Iceland may often prove surprisingly cool. Scientists said, hotspots may not originate from giant plumes of very hot rock welling up from near Earth's core. Volcanoes are found near the borders of tectonic plates. These...
