May 2024 Solar Storm Triggers Unusual Radiation Belts, Raising Space Safety Concerns
A significant solar storm in May 2024 led to the creation of two temporary radiation belts, detected by the CIRBE satellite in June. One belt contained high-energy electrons, while the other was rich in protons, a rare occurrence. While the electron belt dissipated in three months, the proton-dominated belt remains, potentially affecting space miss...

Groundbreaking Graphene Discovery Opens Path to Quantum Computing with Topological States
A team of researchers from the University of British Columbia, the University of Washington, and Johns Hopkins University have uncovered a new class of quantum states in a precisely engineered twisted bilayer–trilayer graphene system. By creating a moiré pattern through slight rotational misalignment, they observed electrons displaying vortex-li...

NASA Rockets Set to Journey Through Flickering, Disappearing Auroras
NASA is set to launch two groundbreaking rocket missions in January 2025 to unravel the mysteries of auroras. The GIRAFF mission will study fast-pulsating and flickering auroras, while the Black and Diffuse Aurora Science Surveyor mission will focus on dark auroral patches or "black auroras." By using advanced instruments to measure electron activi...

MIT Researchers Measure Quantum Geometry of Electrons in Solid Materials for First Time
Physicists at MIT have successfully measured the quantum geometry of electrons in solids, marking a pivotal moment in quantum research. This was achieved using an advanced adaptation of angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), enabling direct observation of quantum properties that were previously theoretical. The study, featured in Nature...

To Better Understand Why Sun Gets Angry, India To Build Massive Solar Telescope In Ladakh
The Sun is the harbinger of life on Earth, but we understand so little of our nearest star. The Sun occasionally gets very angry; it then unleashes massive solar storms that take down or burn satellites and electronic equipment on Earth.

Scientists Uncover Invisible Ambipolar Electric Field Around Earth for First Time, New Study Reveals
Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery by detecting and measuring the ambipolar electric field around Earth for the first time. This field, hypothesised over 60 years ago, was observed during the Endurance rocket mission launched by NASA in May 2022. The ambipolar field, located in the ionosphere at around 250 kilometres above Earth's surf...

Harvard and Google Created the Most Detailed Map of Brain Using AI
In a landmark achievement, Harvard University and Google have developed the most detailed brain map ever created. This innovative project focused on a cubic millimeter of human cerebral cortex, a sample taken during an epilepsy surgery in 2014. Over a decade, biologists and machine-learning experts meticulously mapped approximately 57,000 cells and...
