Looking Inside Distant Spiral Galaxies to See How Stars are Formed

A research group has been able to view faraway spiral galaxies for the very first time to study how they developed and how they tend to change with respect to time, because of the advanced capabilities of the James Webb Space Telescope.

Researchers Unravel the Physics Behind Unexpected Trapping of Microparticle

When physicists steered a tiny microparticle toward a cylindrical obstacle, they expected one of two outcomes to occur. The particle would either collide into the obstacle or sail around it. The particle, however, did neither.

New Method Offers Insights on Developing Superconducting Materials

A new state of matter known as the Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) is achieved by cooling low-density atomic gas to extremely low temperatures (–273 °C). Two-atom molecules that are strongly coupled in a BEC behave like a collective wave in accordance with quantum mechanics.
