Purdue university's scientists create world's fastest spinning man made object



World's fastest spinning man made object

  • Scientists create world's fastest spinning man made object.
  • The object precisely is not a object but a nano particle which is in dumbbell shaped.
  • The nano particle is made up of silica and was levitated by using laser in vacuum
  • The noted rotation per second (rps) of the nano particle was about 60 billion rps
  • Scientists behind this invention are Tongcang Li and Jonghoon Ahn
  • Tongcang Li is assistant professor of physics and astronomy and also serve as assistant professor in computer engineering and electrical engineering in Purdue University
  • According to Tongcang Li the dumbbell shaped particle was levitated in vacuum with using laser work. 
  • The laser used having capability of working in a straight line and in circle helped in finding two motion of the nano particle  
  • When the laser work in straight line the nano particle vibrates
  • When the laser work in circle the dumbbell spins
  • The spinning dumbbell work as a rotor and the vibrating dumbbell functions like an instrument which can measure tiny forces and torques  
  • This kind of instruments can work as an excellent torsion balance.
  • Torsion balance device were used for discovering things like gravitational constant ,density of earth
  • According to Tongcang Li that further advancement can help in to study more typical things like quantum mechanics
  • Normal people thinks that vacuum is a complete vacant space but physician knows that vacuum a vacant space is a myth ,there are millions of particles which appears for infinitesimal small duration and than disappears . 
  • Tongcang Li and his co scientist want to make a torsional balance with this dumbbell nano particle to study vacuum  
  • Thus this nano particle motions can help in studying about vacuum friction and gravity which is essential for Modern Physics.

How Parker Solar Probe will withstand Sun's heat ?

Sun may look calm and beautiful from our earth but it is one of the most ferocious body in our solar system, a body whose mass continuously rises ,  having millions of nuclear reactions going every second , tingling magnetic lines sun also have strong and constant winds flowing with speed of million miles per hour . Since it is the only star in our reach to study but it is still very difficult to study its behaviour So how? Parker Solar Probe The answer is Parker solar probe made by NASA which will blast off this year to a long journey of around 4 million miles(6.4 million km) from the earth to the sun. The temperature of sun which can rise up to 1 million degree Fahrenheit is strong enough to melt anything approaching it. So how will our small probe will withstand this harsh surrounding? But still the temperature of the solar panels and elements still can go to about 2498 degree Fahrenheit (1370 degree Celsius) so there is necessity to co...

Why Tardigrades are one of the most toughest micro-animal in the world??

We all know about Israel's mission to moon named Beresheet . Mission which was launched with help of SpaceX rocket Falcon 9 B-5 . Unfortunately it crash landed on moon and they loose contact to there lander. But one interesting thing about this mission was that, this mission was also carrying Tardigrades. So Let us know what are these creatures and how much tough they are : They were first described by German Zoologist Johann August Ephraim Goeze in 1773 who called them little water bears .                                                                                                            There official name was given by Italian biologist Lazzaro Spallanzani which is Tardigrada  .Tardig...

New study claims that aliens might have lived twice on the moon

Earth's one and only natural satellite have many secrets which are to be revealed.Our moon in ancient times was suitable to support life twice ,one 4 billion years ago and again in 3.5 billion years ago suggested by a study at Washington state University. According to the study it is believed that meteorites from earth with living cells and microbes were carried to the Moon. This was published in the Monday edition of journal Astrobiology . Two planetary scientists have stated in there study that during landing of meteorites on Moon created heat enough to melt ice water in the surface of the moon in water vapours and gases which spewed out from the moon surface and form water pools on moon. The study also stated that there was also stable atmosphere at that time with magnetic field wrapping whole moon enough to safeguard organisms on the moon from solar winds. Dirk Schulze Makuch an astrobiologist at Washington State University said that "There could have ac...
