Astronomers Just Found a Magnetar That Breaks All the Rules Magnetars are among the most extreme objects in the universe—ultra-dense neutron stars with magnetic fields trillions of times stronger than Earth’s. But a recent discovery is turning our understanding of their origins upside down. Using data from NASA’s Hubble and ESA’s Gaia space telescopes, scientists traced the motion of a magnetar named SGR 0501+4516—and what they found is shocking. Contrary to long-standing beliefs, this magnetar likely didn’t form from a typical core-collapse supernova. SGR 0501 sits near a known supernova remnant called HB9, and for years, scientists assumed the two were connected. But precision tracking shows the magnetar couldn’t have come from HB9—or any nearby supernova explosion. So where did it come from? Researchers propose a more exotic origin: a white dwarf that collapsed after feeding off a companion star, growing too massive and unstable. This alternative path could form a magnetar without any supernova at all. If confirmed, SGR 0501+4516 would be the strongest case yet for a magnetar formed through an unconventional route—forcing astronomers to rethink how these magnetic monsters are born and opening new doors in high-energy astrophysics.

Raspberry Ripple Ice Cream Lusciously Creamy Vanilla Ice Cream with a Tart Raspberry Swirl Ingredients: For the Ice Cream Base: 2 cups heavy cream 1 cup whole milk 3/4 cup sugar 1 tablespoon vanilla extract For the Raspberry Swirl: 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries 1/4 cup sugar 1 teaspoon lemon juice Directions: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir and cook for 8–10 minutes until berries break down and mixture thickens. Strain to remove seeds and cool completely. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together cream, milk, sugar, and vanilla until sugar dissolves. Pour the ice cream base into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually 20–30 minutes). Transfer half of the churned ice cream to a container. Spoon half of the raspberry sauce over it and swirl gently with a knife. Repeat with the remaining ice cream and raspberry sauce. Do not overmix to preserve the ripple effect. Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.

Imagine flying without burning a single drop of fuel. That’s the radical promise of the Tang Jet — a plasma-based propulsion system developed by Chinese physicist Professor Jau Tang. By mimicking a lightning bolt, the engine ionizes air into plasma, converting electricity directly into high-velocity thrust—no combustion, no emissions. The current prototype is small, but if scaled, it could revolutionize aviation and even electric space travel. If it works, today’s jet engines could soon feel as outdated as steam locomotives. Here’s what makes the Tang Jet a global game-changer — #TangJet #ElectricJetEngine #CleanAviation #PlasmaThrust #JauTang

Mặc dù giá sơ cấp biệt thự và liền kề tại Hà Nội đều giảm trong quý I/2025 nhưng vẫn là rào cản lớn. Với mức giá gần 300 triệu đồng/m2, nhiều nhà đầu tư do dự chưa muốn xuống tiền. Trong quý I/2025, thị trường nhà ở thấp tầng tại Hà Nội ghi nhận xu hướng giảm giá rõ nét ở cả phân khúc biệt thự, liền kề và nhà phố thương mại. Theo Savills, giá sơ cấp biệt thự và liền kề giảm 14%, về mức trung bình lần lượt là 282 triệu và 239 triệu đồng/m2 đất, trong khi nhà phố thương mại giảm 12% còn 278 triệu đồng/m2 đất. Tỷ lệ hấp thụ toàn thị trường đạt 41%, tăng 13 điểm phần trăm so với cùng kỳ năm 2024, cho thấy tâm lý người mua có dấu hiệu cải thiện. Giao dịch sơ cấp tiếp tục dịch chuyển mạnh ra các khu vực vùng ven, nổi bật là huyện Đông Anh với 52% tổng lượng giao dịch, theo sau là Đan Phượng (43%). Các khu vực khác như Thường Tín, Hà Đông đóng góp khoảng 5%. Việc giá sơ cấp của biệt thự và liền kề tại Hà Nội giảm theo quý, bà Đỗ Thu Hằng - Giám đốc cấp cao, Bộ phận Nghiên cứu và Tư vấn Savills Hà Nội, cho rằng, do nguồn cung chủ yếu là các dự án mới ra mắt tại khu vực vùng ven, có mức giá mềm hơn so với những dự án trước. Trái ngược với đà giảm ở thị trường sơ cấp, giá bán trên thị trường thứ cấp lại ghi nhận xu hướng tăng. Biệt thự tăng 10% lên mức 195 triệu đồng/m2, liền kề tăng 15% lên 227 triệu đồng/m2, nhà phố thương mại tăng 9% đạt 266 triệu đồng/m2. Nguồn: Báo Vietnamnet / Hồng Khanh
