 Astronomers generally agree that planets form out of the massive disks of leftover debris that surround most newborn stars. As these disks of gas and dust orbit their stars, small clumps of material coalesce, ultimately growing larger and larger until they eventually reach planetary status. However, not all planets make it that far. Sometimes, two […]

Nowadays, the Standard Model is depicted in a table, similar to the periodic table, but it hasn’t always been so. Originally it was an equation, a very long equation, a very long and complex equation that attempts to explain all the laws of physics, particles, their characteristics and relation to each other. While more complicated

HOUSTON — After years of vehicle development and building anticipation, NASA has now put the crew in commercial crew spacecraft. The space agency on Friday (Aug. 3) announced nine men and women who will launch on the first crewed test flights and missions of new commercial spacecraft built and operated by The Boeing Company and SpaceX. The eight

قبل قليل سألني احد الزملاء حول ‏Polaritons ‎هي أشباه جسيمات تنشأ من التفاعل القوي بين الامواج الكهرومغناطيسية ومجالات الكهرباء او المغناطيسية للثنائي المستثار dipole excitation ببساطة هو عبارة عن تفاعل الفوتون مع الثنائي It is Photon and dipole interactions “Polaritons are hybrid particles made up of a photon strongly coupled to an electric dipole. Examples

Weird. MIKE MCRAE 5 SEP 2018 Planck’s law of radiative heat transfer has held up well under a century of intense testing, but a new analysis has found it fails on the smallest of scales. Exactly what this means isn’t all that clear yet, but where laws fail, new discoveries can follow. Such a find

The object, named SIMP J01365663+0933473, has 12.7 times the mass of the gas giant Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system. It also has a strong magnetic field that is more than 200 times stronger than Jupiter’s. The temperature on its surface is more than 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit. Although this sounds hot, it’s quite

More countries are investing in space science with its multiple branches, including technology such as satellites and exploration involving missions to the Moon and Mars. Last week, I took part in COSPAR 2018, the bi-yearly international assembly of space scientists and officials, which this year was held in Pasadena, California. Originally known as the Committee
