Red Spider Nebula

Handout photo dated on October 26, 2025 shows Red Spider Nebula. Using its Near-InfraRed Camera (NIRCam), NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope captured never-before-seen details of the Red Spider Nebula, a planetary nebula, in this image released on Oct. 26, 2025. NIRCam is Webb’s primary near-infrared imager, providing high-resolution imaging and spectroscopy for a wide variety of investigations. Webb’s new view of the Red Spider Nebula reveals for the first time the full extent of the nebula’s outstretched lobes, which form the ‘legs’ of the spider. These lobes, shown in blue, are traced by light emitted from H2 molecules, which contain two hydrogen atoms bonded together. Stretching over the entirety of NIRCam’s field of view, these lobes are shown to be closed, bubble-like structures that each extend about 3 light-years. Outflowing gas from the center of the nebula has inflated these massive bubbles over thousands of years. Photo by ESA/Webb, NASA & CSA, J. H. Kastner (Rochester Institute of Technolo via ABAC

3 scientists share 2023 Nobel Physics Prize

STORY: 3 scientists share 2023 Nobel Physics Prize DATELINE: Oct. 4, 2023 LENGTH: 00:02:15 LOCATION: Stockholm CATEGORY: SCIENCE SHOTLIST: 1. various of the press conference and photos of laureates of the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics 2. various of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences STORYLINE: Three scientists, Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L'Huillier, won the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics "for experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter," the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced here Tuesday. "The three Nobel Laureates in Physics 2023 are being recognized for their experiments, which have given humanity new tools for exploring the world of electrons inside atoms and molecules," the academy said in a statement. "The three scientists have demonstrated a way to create extremely short pulses of light that can be used to measure the rapid processes in which electrons move or change energy," it added.

Main part of the vacuum furnace at Okaya Heat Treatment Industry

Okaya Heat Treatment Industry (Okaya City, Nagano Prefecture) has invested about 60 million yen to installa medium-sized atom nitriding system manufactured by Plasma Research Institute (Tenpaku Ward, Nagoya City). When hardening the surface of high-speed steel (HSS), etc., this equipment can perform surface nitriding treatment uniformly even on objects with complicated shapes, with almost no secondary compounds in the diffusion layer of nitrogen atoms. Mr. Takizawa, president of Okaya Heat Treatment Industry, said, "In order to stably apply hard coatings on tools, etc., further secondary processing is necessary, but such technology is also being established. In the future, the company plans to expand its business to include the hard coating base treatment of cemented carbide tools and high durability surface treatment of blades.

Guinness calls Japanese thermometer world's smallest

TSUKUBA, Japan - The Guinness World Records book has named a thermometer (release photo) using a carbon nano tube as the world's smallest thermometer, its developer, the National Institute for Materials Science, said Dec. 3. The thermometer, developed by Yoshio Bando and another scientist at the government-affiliated institute in Tsukuba, Ibaraki Prefecture is a tube formed by carbon atoms. Measuring about 85 nanometers in diameter and several thousand nanometers in length, it can measure temperatures between 18 C and 490 C with a 0.25 degree notch. It can be used to measure temperatures in capillary blood vessels and detect abnormalities in computer chips. (Kyodo)
