For the first time, scientists have used NASA's IXPE (Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer) to directly measure the magnetic fields of PSR J1101−6101, a pulsar located within what is often referred to ...

The discovery of femtosecond laser-induced demagnetization in ferromagnetic nickel in 1996 marked the birth of ultrafast spin dynamics research. This phenomenon not only provides new insights into the ...

The cheapest chemical rocket currently flying is the Russian Dnepr rocket ($1000/lb, $2200/kg) Most other commercial rockets are two to four times as expensive. Without cheap access to space it is ...

An international research team studied high-energy protons emitted from laser-bombarded solids. Recent studies found that higher laser intensities failed to boost the proton energies as much as ...
