Core-powered mass loss possibly caused exoplanet shrinkage

Posted by in category: space

While more than 5k exoplanets were identified, the count of planets within the diameter varies between 1.5 to two times the size of Earth, which is lower than anticipated.


Scientists have noticed a ‘size gap’ among exoplanets, specifically between 1.5 to two times the size of Earth. Fascinated, scientists are striving to learn the cause of this phenomenon.

Scientists find new way to supercharge lasers by a million times

Posted by in categories: computing, particle physics, transportation

Scientists from the UK and South Korea have discovered a way to create laser pulses 1,000 times stronger than currently possible. Using computer simulations, they have discovered that a new way of compressing the light can drastically increase its intensity to such an extent that it can extract particles from a vacuum. This new technique could open up doors for important discoveries into the very nature of matter.
