An international team of astronomers, including researchers from the Department of Physics and the Hong Kong Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics (HKIAA) at The University of Hong Kong (HKU), has discovered a previously hidden phase of high-energy activity following the merger of compact stars.
As Ted Schuur stepped along the edges of Smith Lake, a bubble surfaced from the muck underfoot. And then another. They're bubbles of methane, a potent heat-trapping gas made from decomposing plants and animals that had once been stuck in Alaska's frigid permafrost.
In a groundbreaking trial, Indian startup QNu Labs, in collaboration with BISAG-N and IIT Gandhinagar, successfully tested free-space quantum key distribution. This trial established a secure quantum communication channel over a considerable distance, boasting a quantum bit error rate of under 5...
