Google X Introduces Taara Chip to Enable High-Speed Internet via Light Beams
Google X has unveiled the Taara chip, a silicon photonics device that transmits high-speed internet via light beams. Unlike traditional fiber-optic cables, which require extensive underground installation, this technology provides a cost-effective and scalable alternative. Field tests demonstrated speeds of 10 Gbps over a one-kilometre distance. De...

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...

Astronomers Capture Supermassive Black Hole Plasma Jets at Birth
For the first time, plasma jets from a supermassive black hole have been observed in real time. Located 270 million light-years away in galaxy 1ES 1927+654, the jets traveled at one-third the speed of light. Emerging in 2024 after a radio flare in 2023, the jets broke through dense gas near the black hole, which has a mass 1.4 billion times that of...

Groundbreaking Propulsion Method Using Relativistic Electron Beams Could Enable Interstellar Travel
A new propulsion method, using relativistic electron beams, could make interstellar travel feasible within a human lifetime. Researchers Jeff Greason and Gerrit Bruhaug have proposed accelerating electrons to near light speed to deliver kinetic energy to spacecraft. This method could enable probes to reach 10% of the speed of light, drastically red...

Shenzhou-15 Spacecraft Debris Burns Over Los Angeles During Uncontrolled Reentry
On April 2, 2024, debris from China's Shenzhou-15 spacecraft lit up the Los Angeles sky during an uncontrolled reentry. Scientists employed seismic data to track the sonic booms generated by the debris, analysing its path, speed, and fragmentation. This novel use of seismic tools highlights the risks of increasing space debris and the potential to ...

Study Explores Sun’s Magnetic Field Changes and Solar Wind Acceleration
A study published in The Astrophysical Journal has shed light on how the Sun’s magnetic field influences solar wind acceleration. Using data from the Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter, researchers observed that sharp magnetic switchbacks smooth out into gentler waves as they travel further from the Sun. This relaxation process transfers magnet...

Groundbreaking Thorium-229 Nuclear Clock May Reveal Changes in Fundamental Constants
A new milestone in atomic physics has been reached with the development of the thorium-229 nuclear clock. This advanced clock offers a precision level that could potentially reveal whether the fundamental constants of physics, such as the speed of light and gravitational constant, change over time. Detected by Chuankun Zhang and his team at JILA, t...
