Researchers Discover Slow Aging Process in Hydrogen-Burning White Dwarfs

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has contradicted the prevalent view of white dwarfs as inert, slow cooling stars. An international group of astronomers has revealed the first evidence that white dwarfs are capable of slowing down their rate of aging by burning hydrogen on their surface.

New Metallic Specimen Could Support Electron-Phonon Liquid Phase

In a new metallic specimen developed by a research group from Boston College, the motion of electrons tends to flow in the same way water flows in a pipe. Basically, this varies from particle-like to fluid-like dynamics.

Scientists Test Theory of Generalized Hydrodynamics

New experiments using trapped one-dimensional gases—atoms cooled to the coldest temperatures in the universe and confined so that they can only move in a line—fit with the predictions of the recently developed theory of “generalized hydrodynamics.”
