    TWA 7 b: James Webb Space Telescope Finds Its First New Exoplanet

    The James Webb Space Telescope, launched in 2021 and on active duty since 2022, has gotten its legs viewing already known exoplanets but can now take credit for its first direct image of a previously unknown one. 

    Exoplanets have been detected…

    X-ray parametric down-conversion reveals EUV-polariton

    Experimental setup

    We performed the experiment at the large solid-angle spectrometer of beamline ID20 at ESRF26. The setup’s geometry follows Fig. 1c. The incident beam passes through a Si(111)-double-crystal monochromator, limiting its…

    Spin-qubit control with a milli-kelvin CMOS chip

    To evaluate single-qubit gates, we first establish a baseline using all room-temperature electronics for control. Following the usual protocol for two-spin manipulation1,24,25, the singlet state is first prepared in the (1, 3) charge…
