Physicists Achieve Record-Breaking Electron Beam Power and Current at SLAC
Researchers at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have set a new record by generating the highest-current, highest-peak-power electron beam ever recorded. The beam reached 100 kiloamps in just one quadrillionth of a second, achieved through advanced compression techniques and magnetic field manipulation. This breakthrough could have major implica...

New Cosmic Surveys Reveal Unexpected Clues About Universe’s Evolution
A new study published in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics reveals a potential discrepancy in the expected clumpiness of cosmic structures. Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory analysed data from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) and the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (...

New Link Found Between Ferroelectric Domain Walls and Superconductivity in 2D Materials
Scientists from the University of Cambridge and Argonne National Laboratory have uncovered a link between ferroelectric domain walls and superconductivity in 2D materials. Their study shows how specific structural features enhance electron-phonon interactions, especially in materials like molybdenum ditelluride (MoTeâ‚‚), paving the way for new sup...

Third India International Science Fest In Chennai Next Month
This is the third IIS festival, which has been organised since the NDA government came to power in 2014. The first two were held at IIT-Delhi and National Physical Laboratory, Delhi.

Desi GPS Syncs Up With Indian Standard Time, Will Boost Cyber Security
One major lacuna in India's desi Global Positioning System (GPS) has been filled by linking it to the atomic clocks that give the Indian Standard Time. This reduces Navigation with Indian Constellation's (NavIC) dependence on the American GPS and adds a level of precision and accuracy that was missing in the Indian system.

Comet may be visible from Earth if it survives sun's heat, gravity
A comet that left the outer edge of the solar system more than 5.5 million years ago will pass close by the sun on Thursday, becoming visible in Earth's skies in the next week or two - if it survives.
