Researchers use light and crystals to create new materials on demand.
One day, it may be possible to "draw" rather than "grow" crystals for use in a wide range of applications, including lasers, LEDs, and the semiconductors used in sensors in astronomical instruments, which would result in improved performance and reduced prices.

A new telescope photograph shows the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS blasting a jet towards the sun.
As our nearest star warms up a portion of the comet's surface, 3I/ATLAS is launching a jet of material in the direction of the sun. The composite image displays a white light, which is the comet's atmosphere or coma, and the nucleus, or frozen, rocky centre core, of 3I/ATLAS as a big, black dot. The purple-marked jet is blazing out in the direction of the sun, which is also how comets in the solar system often behave.

The End of an Era: Gaia’s Mission Comes to a Close — and Its Legacy Is Just Beginning
In early 2025, the European Space Agency’s Gaia spacecraft officially ended its operational life after more than a decade of mapping the Milky Way with breathtaking precision. It’s a bittersweet milestone for astronomers worldwide: while Gaia has stopped collecting new data, the treasure trove it leaves behind will keep fueling discoveries for decades.

Washing Moon Dust for Helium-3: The New Space Gold Rush
The Promise of a Lunar Treasure For decades, the Moon has been more than a symbol of human curiosity — it’s been a promise. A promise of knowledge, exploration, and now, perhaps, limitless clean energy. Among all the minerals and exotic materials believed to lie within its dusty surface, one element stands out as a true cosmic prize: helium-3.

Apple iPad Pro 13-inch (M5) Review — Redefining the Future of Tablets
When Apple first launched the iPad Pro, it was clear that the company wanted to bridge the gap between tablet and laptop. Over the years, each generation has pushed that line further — but the new Apple iPad Pro 13-inch (M5) completely redraws it. With the blazing-fast M5 chip, Ultra Retina XDR display, Apple Intelligence integration, and iPadOS 26, this model doesn’t just refine the iPad experience — it reinvents it.

Rebel Worlds: Exoplanets with Reverse Rotation and Bizarre Atmospheres
When astronomers began discovering planets beyond our Solar System in the 1990s, most expected to find familiar worlds — something like a Hot Jupiter here, a cold Neptune there, maybe the occasional rocky Earth-twin. Instead, the universe responded with a cosmic smirk and delivered a catalog of planets so strange that even science fiction writers would hesitate to invent them. Among the most mind-bending of these discoveries are exoplanets with reverse (retrograde) rotation and wildly abnormal atmospheres — worlds that defy planetary logic and challenge our understanding of physics.

Nuclear Engines for the Journey to Mars: Why NTR and NEP May Change Everything
For decades, Mars has been the big red prize of human space exploration. We’ve landed rovers, taken selfies on its dusty plains, and mapped its canyons and craters in high resolution. And yet, no human has ever set foot there. The biggest obstacle isn’t distance itself — it’s time. With today’s chemical rockets, a crewed flight to Mars would take six to nine long months one way, and the entire mission could stretch to two or even three years. That means more radiation exposure, more psychological pressure, more supplies, and more risk.

How quark-gluon plasma is studied in the laboratory?
Recreating conditions similar to the early universe is extremely difficult. However, physicists have learned how to create tiny volumes of quark-gluon plasma using large particle accelerators, heavy ion colliders. The idea is to accelerate two heavy atomic nuclei to relativistic speeds and collide them head-on. At the same time, the energy of the collision is concentrated in a small volume – a microscopic "fire layer" of ultra-high temperature and density is formed, in which ordinary nuclear matter "melts" for a moment and quark-gluon plasma arises.
