Webb observes immense stellar jet on outskirts of our Milky Way

by quasarn01 | Sep 10, 2025 | Astronomy

A blowtorch of seething gases erupting from a volcanically growing monster star has been captured by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. Stretching across 8 light-years, the length of the stellar eruption is approximately twice the distance between our sun and...

In quantum sensing, what beats beating noise? Meeting noise halfway

by quasarn01 | Sep 10, 2025 | Latest in Physics

Noise is annoying, whether you’re trying to sleep or exploit the laws of quantum physics. Although noise from environmental disturbances will always be with us, a team including scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) may have...

Advanced X-ray technique enables first direct observation of magnon spin currents

by quasarn01 | Sep 10, 2025 | Latest in Physics

Spintronics is an emerging field that leverages the spin, or the intrinsic angular momentum, of electrons. By harnessing this quantum-relativistic property, researchers aim to develop devices that store and transmit information faster, more efficiently, and at higher...
