Process leading to supernova explosions and cosmic radio bursts unearthed Posted: 05 Oct 2021 02:54 PM PDT A process important to black holes and supernovas has for the first time been demonstrated in a laboratory. |
New measurement method promises spectacular insights into the interior of planets Posted: 05 Oct 2021 09:48 AM PDT At the heart of planets, extreme states are to be found: temperatures of thousands of degrees, pressures a million times greater than atmospheric pressure. They can therefore only be explored directly to a limited extent -- which is why the expert community is trying to use sophisticated experiments to recreate equivalent extreme conditions. Researchers have adapted an established measurement method to these extreme conditions and tested it successfully: Using the light flashes of the world's strongest X-ray laser the team managed to take a closer look at the important element, carbon, along with its chemical properties. |
Extreme exoplanet even more exotic than originally thought Posted: 05 Oct 2021 09:46 AM PDT Considered an ultra-hot Jupiter -- a place where iron gets vaporized, condenses on the night side and then falls from the sky like rain -- the fiery, inferno-like WASP-76b exoplanet may be even more sizzling than scientists had realized. |
