eROSITA disentangles the solar system’s X-ray glow from deep-space signals

by quasarn01 | Apr 16, 2026 | Astronomy

Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics scientists have been able to disentangle the X-ray glow originating in our solar system from similar emission reaching us from deep space, using data from the SRG/eROSITA space telescope. Four sky maps obtained between...

Laser method unlocks 3,000-Kelvin thin-film synthesis for quantum materials

by quasarn01 | Apr 16, 2026 | Latest in Physics

Thin films might not come up in conversation every day, but they are all around us. Take the metallic plastic films of chip bags, for example, or the anti-reflective coatings on eyeglasses. Even the coatings on pills that make them easier to swallow are thin films....

Looking deep inside quarks: CMS test probes to 10⁻²⁰ meters and finds no inner structure

by quasarn01 | Apr 16, 2026 | Latest in Physics

According to our current understanding of the universe, quarks are fundamental, point-like particles: basic building blocks that are not made up of smaller particles. A recent paper from the CMS Collaboration describes how it probed quarks to the scale of 10-20 meters...
