China to Reportedly Activate Powerful X-Ray Light Source to Reveal Atomic Structure of Proteins
China is about to launch the High Energy Photon Source (HEPS), a state-of-the-art synchrotron capable of providing high-resolution x-ray imaging. Expected to begin operations in late December, HEPS will enable scientists to explore atomic-level structures in materials and proteins. This new facility, costing $657 million, will offer advanced capabi...

Quantum Breakthrough Observed as Scientists Define Photon Shape for the First Time
In a major scientific achievement, researchers at the University of Birmingham have defined the shape of a single photon for the first time. The study reveals how photons interact with their surroundings and emit energy, providing new insights into quantum physics. This work opens avenues for innovations in nanophotonic technologies, such as improv...

Russia Delays Key Science Projects: Everything You Need to Know
Russia has postponed its SKIF Photon Source, Kurchatov Synchrotron Radiation Source modernisation, and neutron research expansion due to trade sanctions and budget issues. The sanctions restrict access to specialised equipment needed for these projects, now dependent on alternative sources. Officials remain optimistic about completing them by adjus...

NASA's Advanced Composite Solar Sail System Successfully Deploys in Space
After more than four months in orbit, NASA’s Advanced Composite Solar Sail System has achieved full deployment. The solar sail, which launched aboard Rocket Lab's Electron vehicle in April, harnesses photon momentum to propel itself through space. Equipped with cameras, the spacecraft is set to capture high-resolution images of the deployed sail.

Bright Photon Ring Discovered in Remastered Image of Massive Black Hole: All Details
Researchers have discovered an image of a black hole in the M87 galaxy contains a photon ring that was not previously visible. The first-ever picture of a black hole was captured using the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) in 2019. When a beam of light passes close to the black hole, it tends to change its direction due to the warping of spacetime. The...

New Quantum Cryptography Method Could Provide More Secure Encryption
Researchers at National University of Singapore have implemented an advanced form of quantum cryptography which would make the encryption immune to hacking. In the new study, scientists conducted an experiment where they used two mechanically entangled rubidium atoms. They excited both particles with a laser pulse and after which they fell into the...

Life-Like Self-Organising Laser Can Mimics Living Materials, Reconfigures in Changing Conditions
In a study, published in Nature, the team from Imperial College London have used an external laser to heat up a Janus particle, which was coated with light-absorbing material on one side. The microparticle clusters gathered around the coating and the lasing thus created could be turned on and off by tweaking the intensity of the external laser.
