SARAS radio telescope provides astronomers clues to the nature of Universe’s first stars and galaxies

New Delhi, December 05, 2022: Scientists have determined properties of radio luminous galaxies formed just 200 million years post the Big Bang, a period known as the Cosmic Dawn thus providing an insight to the properties of the earliest radio loud galaxies that are usually powered by supermassive black holes. Humans in their curiosity about how […]

Recurrent outburst of twin star points towards rare future supernovae

New Delhi, December 01, 2022: Astronomers tracking the constellation Ophiuchus have spotted a recurrent nova system (a transient astronomical event that causes the sudden appearance of a bright, apparently “new” star that slowly fades over weeks or months) approximately 5,000 light-years away. Their study of data from the outburst of the star called RS Ophiuchi detected on August 8, 2021, which […]

New study on behaviour of charged particles in a magnetic field under ultra-cold temperatures can help control noise in quantum technology

New Delhi, November 30, 2022: A new study conducted by Bengaluru-based scientists has thrown fresh light on how a charged particle in contact with an environment in the presence of a magnetic field behaves when it is subjected to ultra-cold temperatures. Scientists involved in the study have said that the latest findings could deepen existing knowledge […]

Graphene-stabilised tunable photonic crystal can make more durable and better reflective display and lasers devices

New Delhi, November 26, 2022: A soft tunable photonic crystal with enhanced thermal stability and optical purity developed by researchers that reflects vivid colours in the visible spectrum has potential applications in making more durable and better reflective displays and laser devices. Photonic crystal is optical nanostructures in which the refractive index changes periodically. This affects the propagation of […]
