Quasi-periodic oscillations detected in pulsar LMC X-4
Using ESA's XMM-Newton telescope, Indian astronomers have performed X-ray observations of a binary X-ray pulsar known as LMC X-4. The observational campaign resulted in the detection of quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in this source. The finding i.....»»
Phonon engineering for extended lasing beyond the fluorescence spectrum
The electron and phonon are two fundamental particles (quasi-particles) of condensed matter and their interplay in single crystals can create many interesting physical phenomena, such as polaritons, charge density waves and up-conversion fluorescence.....»»
Multiple novel yeast species detected in the gut of green lacewing in Japan
Among fungi, including mushrooms and molds, there exists a wide range of yeast species that do not produce mycelium but instead grow as single cells through the processes of budding and division. Because yeasts multiply unicellularly, they are well s.....»»
Beyond the periodic table: Superheavy elements and ultradense asteroids
Some asteroids have measured densities higher than those of any elements known to exist on Earth. This suggests that they are at least partly composed of unknown types of "ultradense" matter that cannot be studied by conventional physics......»»

Using the Large Phased Array (LPA) radio telescope of the Lebedev Physical Institute (LPI) in Pushchino, Russia, astronomers have detected two new rotating radio transients (RRATS). The finding is reported in a research paper published September 2 on.....»»
Two large cold fronts detected in the galaxy cluster Abell 3558
Astronomers from the University of Alabama in Huntsville have investigated the galaxy cluster Abell 3558 using ESA's XMM-Newton spacecraft. In their results, they detected two large-scale sloshing cold fronts in the outskirts of this cluster. The fin.....»»
New insights into neutrino interactions
Research at Hokkaido University has revealed that elusive particles called neutrinos can interact with photons, the fundamental particles of light and other electromagnetic radiation, in ways not previously detected. The findings from Kenzo Ishikawa,.....»»
India’s Chandrayaan 3 lander may have detected its first moonquake
India's Chandrayaan 3 only recently made its historic lunar landing, but it is already collecting intriguing new data about the moon......»»
Astronomers discover new massive quiescent galaxy
Astronomers report the discovery of a new massive and quiescent galaxy at a high redshift. The galaxy, which received designation COSMOS-1047519, was detected using the Keck I telescope. The finding was detailed in a paper published August 29 on the.....»»
