Milky Way's Massive, Mysterious “Radcliffe Wave” Is Oscillating Through Space-Time

Milky Way's Massive, Mysterious “Radcliffe Wave” Is Oscillating Through Space-Time

Astronomers have discovered a massive wave-shaped chain of gaseous clouds in the Milky Way called the Radcliffe Wave. They have now found that the Radcliffe Wave not only looks like a wave but also moves like one, oscillating through space-time.

Altermagnetic Lifting of Kramers Spin Degeneracy

Altermagnetic Lifting of Kramers Spin Degeneracy

Researchers have discovered a new magnetic phase called altermagnetism that can lift the Kramers spin degeneracy in materials. This phase allows for the separation of spin degeneracy without net magnetization and inversion symmetry breaking.
