NASA's Hubble Telescope Captures Sharpest Image of Confirmed Interstellar Comet

The image of an interstellar visitor, comet 2I/Borisov is the latest offering from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope to astronomers. The speed and trajectory of comet 2I/Borisov show it has come from outside the solar system. The image taken on October 12th, 2019 is the sharpest view of the comet ever to be captured.

New Integrated Method for Observing Eigen Modes of Skyrmions

The small magnetic vortices called skyrmions that form in certain magnetic materials, like Cu2OSeO3, can be controlled by applying low-level electrical currents, promoting more energy-efficient data processing.
