Study Sheds Light on Stellar Origin of ⁶⁰Fe

Researchers at IMP and their collaborators have recently made great progress in the studies of the stellar beta-decay rate of 59Fe, which constitutes an important step towards understanding the 60Fe nucleosynthesis in massive stars. The results were published in Physical Review Letters on April 12.Fig. 1. 60Fe nucleosynthesis in massive stars. (Image by LI Yutian)

Scientists Discover Spin Polarization Induced by Shear Flow

Chinese researchers recently discovered a new effect that can generate spin-polarization in fluid. The new effect, which is called "shear-induced polarization (SIP)", predicts that shear flow can induce polarization in the momentum space. Figure 1. left: the polarization induced by the vortical flow; right: the polarization induced by the shear flow. Red and yellow arrows represent the spin and momentum directions respectively. (Ima...
