Webb Telescope images Jupiter-like planet 350 light years away
The star HIP 65426 (top) is known to have a young planet, but it is hard to see because of glare from the bright star. The James Webb Space Telescope was able to block the starlight and image the planet in seven wavelengths of infrared light (four shown at bottom), revealing details of the planet's temperature and composition.

Heaviest neutron star to date is a ’black widow’ eating its mate
A spinning neutron star periodically swings its radio (green) and gamma-ray (magenta) beams past Earth in this artist's concept of a black widow pulsar. The neutron star/pulsar heats the facing side of its stellar partner (right) to temperatures twice as hot as the sun's surface and slowly evaporates it.

Emulating impossible ’unipolar’ laser pulses paves the way for processing quantum information
Quantum materials emit light as though it were only a positive pulse, rather than a positive-negative oscillation. A laser pulse that sidesteps the inherent symmetry of light waves could manipulate quantum information, potentially bringing us closer to room temperature quantum computing. The study, led by researchers at the University of Regensburg and the University of Michigan, could also accelerate conventional computing.
