New Image Reveals Large-Scale, Coherent Magnetic Fields in the Halo of a Spiral Galaxy

The National Science Foundation’s Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) has made an image of the “Whale Galaxy” (NGC 4631), which exposes hair-like filaments of the galaxy’s magnetic field extending above and below the disk of the galaxy.

New Theoretical Model Overcomes Major Obstacle to the Use of Nanooptical Traps

Quantum properties can be studied and rendered applicable for technological applications through the control of individual atoms. For nearly a decade, physicists have been performing research on a technique with the potential to capture and control atoms—the so-called nanooptical traps.

Embracing Patterns of Light to Create a Light-Based Quantum Network

Structured light offers an extravagant way to elucidate pictures or patterns of light, but this is absolutely justified because it promises upcoming communications that would be faster, and at the same time, would be more secure.
