The new world record of 45.22 tesla steady state high magnetic field. Credit: SHMFF team On August 12, the hybrid magnet of the Steady High Magnetic Field Facility (SHMFF) in Hefei, China, produced a steady field of 45.22 tesla (T), the highest steady magnetic field by a working magnet in the world. It broke the …

A photograph of a scanned Korean text. The white dotted box indicates the areas shown in the middle and bottom panels. Each element produces a unique X-ray fluorescence. After scanning the text, the researchers applied filters for the known XRF patterns of different elements and created a color-coded heat-map of their abundance, from lowest (blue) …

In the attached image, light which twists shines on a moving BEC, breaking it into clusters of BEC droplets that move following the light’s features. Credit: University of Strathclyde A new method for shaping matter into complex shapes, with the use of ‘twisted’ light, has been demonstrated in research at the University of Strathclyde. When …

Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Scientists at Queen Mary University of London have made two discoveries about the behavior of “supercritical matter”—matter at the critical point where the differences between liquids and gases seem to disappear. While the behavior of matter at reasonably low temperature and pressure was well understood, the picture of matter at high …
Cassiopeia A. Credit: NASA/CXC/SAO A Northwestern University astrophysics team is aiming for the stars—well, a dead star, that is. On Aug. 21, the NASA-funded team will launch its “Micro-X” rocket from the White Sands Missile Range in southern New Mexico. The rocket will spend 15 minutes in space—just enough time to snap a quick image …

Scientists at the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) have imaged the distant blazar J1924-2914 with unprecedented angular resolution, revealing previously unseen details of the source structure. Blazars are powerful active …

A 2021 experiment achieved the landmark milestone of nuclear fusion ignition, which data analysis has now confirmed – but attempts to recreate it over the last year haven’t been able to reach ignition again Physics 11 August 2022 By Karmela Padavic-Callaghan The National Ignition Facility at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory We have ignition. An analysis …
