New IW And-type star discovered by astronomers
A team of Chinese astronomers has performed photometric observations of a dwarf nova known as Karachurin 12. As a result, they have found that Karachurin 12 is an IW And-type star. The discovery was detailed in a research ...
Discovery of a new phase of matter in 2D defies normal statistical mechanics
Physicists from the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge have created the first two-dimensional version of the Bose glass, a novel phase of matter that challenges statistical mechanics. The details of the study have been published ...

Spectrophotometric study explores an early-type dwarf galaxy
Using the Gemini Observatory, Argentinian astronomers have conducted comprehensive photometric and spectroscopic observations of an early-type dwarf galaxy known as CGCG014-074. Results of the observational campaign, published ...
Scientists demonstrate first experimental evidence of non-Hermitian edge burst in photonic quantum walks
In a new Physical Review Letters study, scientists have demonstrated the first experimental observation of non-Hermitian edge burst in quantum dynamics using a carefully designed photonic quantum walk setup.
New dense sub-Saturn exoplanet discovered
Using the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), astronomers from the Physical Research Laboratory (PRL) in Ahmedabad, India and elsewhere, have detected a new sub-Saturn exoplanet with a relatively high density. The ...
