Scientists have observed a rare "naked supernova," offering unprecedented insight into the formation of supernovas and the creation of elements that make up our universe. It's a peek inside a star before it explodes! #supernova #astronomy
Graphene just broke a fundamental law of physics.
Its electrons just did something physicists thought was impossible. For nearly 200 years, metals have obeyed the Wiedemann-Franz law – the rule that electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity always rise and fall together.
Astronomers have used gravitational lensing to detect the smallest dark object ever measured this way, a mass about one million times that of the Sun, situated some 10 billion light-years away, when the universe was roughly 6.5 billion years old.
By combining observations from
