Repeating fast radio burst with strange magnetic field challenges magnetar explanation

Leave a Comment / Science / By

A repeated fast radio burst (FRB) with a variable, polarized magnetic field has deepened the mystery of what produces these enigmatic millisecond bursts of radio waves from deep space. Since their discovery in 2007, FRBs have been one of the most enduring mysteries in astrophysics. They are extremely powerful, emitting as much energy in a …

A strange quark star may have formed from a happy cosmic merger

Leave a Comment / Science / By

The universe may contain extremely dense and exotic hypothetical cosmic objects known as strange quarks. As astrophysicists continue to debate the existence of quark stars, a team of physicists have discovered that the remnant of a neutron star merger observed in 2019 has just the right mass to be one of those strange quark stars. …

Strange Phenomenon on the Sun Imaged by Solar Orbiter for the First Time – Mystery Solved

Leave a Comment / Science / By

A magnetic phenomenon known as solar yaws has been imaged by ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter spacecraft for the first time. The image zooms in on the yaw (blue/white feature extending to the left) as captured in the solar corona by the Metis instrument on March 25, 2022. The yaw appears to be tied to the active …

Metals can be classified according to their values ​​of r0 and T*= A1/A2, where these coefficients follow simple trends shown in this graph. Credit: Beatriz Noheda, University of Groningen Our theoretical understanding of how metals conduct electricity is incomplete. The current taxonomy seems too vague and contains too many exceptions to be convincing. This is …
