For the first time, researchers from Kobe University led by ONISHI Hiroshi observed the precise shape of ice at the ice-liquid interface. Due to the complexity of the task, researchers used creative solutions to observe this phenomenon, such as using antifreeze and cooling the microscope system in a cool box to make accurate measurements. They … Read more
An extremely cold gas of strontium atoms is trapped in a web of light known as an optical lattice. The atoms are held in an ultrahigh vacuum environment, meaning there is almost no air or other gases present. This vacuum helps preserve the atoms’ delicate quantum states, which are fragile. The red dot you see … Read more

Credit: NASA, ESA, Hubble Heritage Team (STScI/AURA)-Hubble/Europe Collaboration. hubblesite.org/contents/media/images/2013/51/3263-Image.html “Classical Cepheids” are a type of pulsating star that brightens and darkens rhythmically over time. These pulsations help astronomers measure vast distances in space, making Cepheids crucial “standard candles” that … Read more
