Quantum light gives a 20-fold boost to ultrafast laser processes

Nonlinear interactions between light and matter are at the heart of some of the most powerful tools in modern optics, but pushing these processes to their limits has long been hampered by a fundamental constraint: the stronger you make the laser, the more likely it is to destroy whatever it illuminates.

Pulsar wind nebula inside supernova remnant explored with Chandra

Astronomers from the George Washington University (GWU) in Washington, DC, and elsewhere have employed NASA’s Chandra X-ray spacecraft to observe a pulsar wind nebula inside a supernova remnant known as CTA 1. Results of the observational campaign, presented in a research paper published May 20 on the arXiv preprint server, shed more light on the morphology and properties of this nebula.

Man who attacked LAPD officer, stole gun at station gets 33 years in prison

Jose Cerpa Guzman attacked an officer at the department’s Harbor Station, stole his firearm and exchanged gunfire with a watch commander before leading police on a pursuit

U.S. ‘Bulletproof Law Enforcement Vehicles’ bill would expand federal funding for vehicle upgrades

The proposed bill would specifically authorize certain federal assistance programs to fund vehicle security enhancements, including bullet-resistant glass windows

Evidence of cosmic-ray acceleration from a nearby supernova remnant

Cosmic rays seen at Earth show a wide range of particle energies, from 107 electron-volts (eV) to more than 1020 eV, the latter being about the same as the kinetic energy of a 450 gram football (soccer ball) being kicked across the pitch at about 8 meters per second. A plot of cosmic ray energies from the Milky Way galaxy often shows a fair amount of what scientists might call “structure”—interesting deviations from the underlying trend called “knees” and “ankles” that indicate new processes or methods of cosmic ray production taking place at that energy.

Axial encoding unlocks up to eightfold faster 3D microscopy with less light

A research team from HKU Engineering has pioneered a fundamentally new imaging strategy known as AIMED (Arbitrary illumination microscopy with encoded depth), which utilizes a sub-sampling approach. By integrating innovations in axial optical encoding with advanced computational image reconstruction, the AIMED technology enables a substantial increase in 3D imaging speed while enhancing photon safety, all with minimal additional system complexity. This breakthrough demonstrates significant advantages across efficiency, image quality, and system compatibility.

Blue Origin rocket explosion is bad news for both Bezos and NASA

Space exploration is filled with setbacks, but the spectacular explosion of Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket on Thursday night marked a significant blow to not only the company, which was founded by billionaire Jeff Bezos, but also NASA, with the two collaborating for the upcoming US moon missions.

A trip to the United Arab Emirates’ darkest spot reveals a rare view of the Milky Way

The gleaming skyscrapers and bright lights of the United Arab Emirates draw the eyes of all who travel there, a sign of the Arabian Peninsula nation’s rapid, oil-fueled development over the last decades into a major hub for commerce and tourism.

Diamond quantum sensor could reveal elusive altermagnets

For nearly a century, there were two known kinds of magnets. Ferromagnets are the classic magnets that attract metal and keep pictures stuck to the refrigerator. Antiferromagnets hide their magnetism at the atomic scale but are increasingly prized for their technological potential. A third category discovered within the last decade may combine the best qualities of both. Dubbed altermagnets, they could someday help create faster, more energy-efficient electronics.

IceCube detects break in cosmic neutrino spectrum, ruling out simple power-law model

A new study published in Physical Review Letters by the IceCube Collaboration reports evidence that the energy spectrum of astrophysical neutrinos is not a simple straight line.

Ohio PD chief who visited schools allegedly on behalf of ICE fired

Gratis PD chief Tonina Lamanna was fired after she traveled more than an hour to visit three schools, where she claimed to be conducting wellness checks on behalf of ICE

Blue Origin investigates rocket explosion as public is warned about possible wreckage washing ashore

Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin is assessing damage to its launch pad after a rocket exploded during a test firing, creating a giant orange fireball seen and felt for miles around.

Antihydrogen mirrors hydrogen in upgraded spectrum test, narrowing cosmic mystery

University of Calgary researchers are a part of a group who just got one step closer to solving a mystery of the universe. Dr. Timothy Friesen, Ph.D., an associate professor of Physics and Astronomy in the Faculty of Science, and his team led a new measurement comparing the spectrum of hydrogen to its antimatter counterpart—antihydrogen.
