Center for Astrophysics A Hubble image of the M-dwarf star Proxima Centauri, our closest stellar neighbor about four light-years away. Proxima hosts two planets, and is known to actively flare. Astronomers studying the suitability for life evolving on exoplanets around M-dwarf stars have completed a multi-wavelength analysis of an extreme flare on Proxima Cen. Hubble/ ESA/NAS The prospects for life around low-mass, cool M-type stars have been extensively discussed because these stars are the mo...

Date Time Controlling Magnetization by Surface Acoustic Waves Using the circular vibration of surface acoustic waves, a collaborative research group have successfully controlled the magnetization of a ferromagnetic thin film. Their research was published in the journal Nature Communications on May 10, 2021. Essentially, acoustic waves are waves of atomic vibrations in a substance. When the waves propagate across the surface of a material, the vibration becomes circular. This circular motion, kn...

Date Time Twisted particles could give physics a new trend Dmitry Karlovets, а TSU physicist, mathematically proved that twisted particles retain an unusual quantum state and exhibit wave properties when reaching high speeds, while ordinary particles do not exhibit wave properties. These calculations, in an experiment at a modern collider, could lead to a new trend at the intersection of particle physics, accelerator physics, and quantum optics. An article about the study was published in the...

Using magnets, a collaborative group have furthered our understanding of chirality. Their research was published in the journal Physical Review Letters on April 28, 2021. Chirality is the lack of symmetry in matter. Human hands, for example, express chirality. A mirror image of your right hand differs from your left, giving it two distinguishable chiral states. Chirality is an important issue in a myriad of scientific fields, ranging from high-energy physics to biology. Within our bodies, some ...
