Harvard physicists have developed a new laser in a chip that emits bright pulses in the middle infrared spectrum, an evasive and very useful range of light to detect gases and allow new spectroscopic tools. The device, which includes much larger systems capabilities in a small chip, does not need external components. Fuse the photonic…
General description of Llarole. Credit: Arxiv (2024). DOI: 10.48550/ARXIV.2410.04223 The process of discovering molecules that have the necessary properties to create new medications and materials is cumbersome and expensive, consuming vast computational resources and months of human work to reduce the enormous space of possible candidates. Large language models (LLM) such as Chatgpt could optimize…
The University of Jyväskylä (Finland), in collaboration with the Finnish Nuclear Safety and Radiation Authority (STUK), has developed a new type of hand multipurpose radiation detector that thoroughly detects all types of ionizing radiation. The device can be used by users of industrial and medical radiation, regulatory authorities, the nuclear energy industry, lifeguards and military…
Se cree que los plasmoides (o islas magnéticas) juegan un papel importante en el inicio de la reconexión magnética rápida y la aceleración de las partículas durante las brotes y erupciones solares. Imágenes directas de las hojas de corriente de destellos y la formación/eyección de múltiples plasmoides en imágenes de ultravioleta extrema (EUV), junto con…

At the UN Headquarters in New York on Friday, March 21, the president of the UN General Assembly, Philémon Yang, closed the acts of the inaugural world glacier day with a marked warning: “We cannot afford to wait,…
This image shows the core of the Terzan 5 globular cluster, only 22,000 light years away in our own Milky Way, with a wide variety of colors and masses inherent in the stars. With millions of stars in just a few tens of light years on each other, this dense collection of stars remains incredibly…
