A team of scientists at the Hunan Normal University in China has created the most powerful "sound laser" yet. Knewz.com has learned that at the epicenter of the powerful sound laser was a silica bead around one micrometer in length. A sound laser works in the same way as a regular laser, with a particle emanating a stream of phonons, the tiny particles that make up sound, in a narrow beam. "Just as a ray of light is made up of many particles called photons, sound consists of particle-like chunks called phonons. For several decades, researchers have been creating “phonon lasers” that output the...

NASA has shared a stunning image captured via the Hubble Space Telescope showing what is possibly the formation of a massive star in the Scorpius constellation of the Milky Way galaxy. Knewz.com has learned that the massive new star is at a distance of about 5,900 light-years from Earth. NASA, which jointly operates the Hubble Space Telescope with the European Space Agency, said that the massive star, which is still in the process of forming, is likely 30 times the mass of the Sun. The exact region where the new star was observed is "a relatively close star-forming region known as IRAS 16562-3...
