Star explosions accelerate particles to record energies

The LHAASO observatory studied gamma-ray emission from supernova remnant IC 443 and found that particles there are accelerated to record energies with no signs of slowing down. This is direct confirmation: it's star explosions that produce the most energetic cosmic rays bombarding Earth.

Solar Storm Illuminated Magnetic Fields in Space

Usually, cosmic rays arrive evenly from all directions, but when the Sun ejects a magnetic cloud, their paths bend. On November 4, 2021, the LHAASO observatory caught a temporary lopsidedness, offering the first-ever glimpse of invisible magnetic structures in interplanetary space.

Sunlight Creates Quantum Entanglement

Physicists have discovered that ordinary sunlight is enough for quantum entanglement. By passing it through a crystal, they obtained pairs of 'twin particles' that instantly sense each other. Measurements confirmed that the link is on par with laser systems. This paves the way for cheap quantum tech
