New study sheds light on the nature of “whistlers”, ultralow frequency radio waves

Whenever a bolt of lightning strikes one of the Earth’s natural magnetic fields, the event generates radio waves called “whistlers.” A novel American study has made new discoveries about these phenomena that could potentially be used to improve existing plasma technology, an article in Science Daily stated. Whistler waves are packets of very low frequency […]

Physicists are one step closer to developing single-atom data storage devices

Swiss researchers recently published the results of their experiments on magnetizing single atoms of holmium, an article on NanoWerk stated. They reported making significant progress towards the creation of single-atom data storage systems, which can store immense amounts of data in very tiny spaces using atoms. Every day, the space needed to store data increases by […]

Scientists create superionic ice – an ice 60x denser than ordinary water ice and forms at temperatures almost as hot as the sun

Imagine ice that is simultaneously a solid and a liquid, has 60 times the density of normal ice, and capable of forming on the burning surface of the sun. It is called “superionic ice,” an article in Space.com states, and California-based researchers have just created it. This previously theoretical form of ice was first conceived […]
