[mindblowingscience]

Astronomers using NASA's powerful James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) just spotted tellurium, an element rarer than platinum is on Earth, in the aftermath of two dense stellar corpses about 1 billion light-years away. The findings could help researchers better understand the conditions in which precious chemical elements are created in the universe. "Just over 150 years since Dmitri Mendeleev wrote down the periodic table of elements, we are now finally in the position to start filling in those last blanks of understanding where everything was made, thanks to Webb," study lead author Andrew Levan of Radboud University in the Netherlands and lead author of the study said in a statement.

Evidence that atomically thin hafnium telluride is an excitonic insulator

The condensation of excitons with non-zero momentum can give rise to so-called charge density waves (CDW). This phenomenon can prompt the transition of materials into a fascinating new quantum phase, known as an excitonic insulator. Researchers at Shanghai Jiao Tong University and other institutes recently carried out a study exploring the possibility that this metal-insulator transition could occur in the atomically thin semi-metallic HfTe2. Their observations, outlined in Nature Physics, unveiled possible excitonic CDW and metal-insulator transitions in the atomically thin material. "The formation of CDW in materials has various mechanisms (e.g., Fermi surface nesting, lattice distortions, etc.) and exclusion of other CDW formation mechanisms is the key to identifying the existence of an excitonic insulator," Peng Chen, corresponding author of the paper, told Phys.org.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tellurion

A tellurion (also spelled tellurian, tellurium, and yet another name is loxocosm), is a clock, typically of French or Swiss origin, surmounted by a mechanism that depicts how day, night, and the seasons are caused by the rotation and orientation of Earth on its axis and its orbit around the Sun. The clock normally also displays the age of the Moon and the four-year (perpetual) calendar.

An article published in the journal "Nature" reports the detection of heavy elements including tellurium ejected from a kilonova, the merger between two neutron stars. A team of researchers started from the gamma-ray burst cataloged as GRB 230307A to examine data collected by ground-based and space telescopes which made it possible to identify the characteristics of a kilonova at the origin of that very powerful explosion, which lasted about 200 seconds in the second brightest gamma-ray burst detected so far.

The James Webb Space Telescope made it possible to examine the environment around the kilonova with its NIRCam and NIRSpec instruments, detecting the spectroscopic traces left in the emissions from materials ejected at high speed. For the first time, tellurium, a very rare element on Earth, was detected. Webb also made it possible to ascertain that the pair of neutron stars that merged was ejected from its home galaxy hundreds of millions of years ago.

Team shows how uranium ditelluride continues superconducting even in high magnetic fields

Superconductivity is well understood in so-called "conventional" superconductors. More recent, however, are unconventional superconductors, and it is as yet unclear how they work. A team from HZDR, together with colleagues from CEA, the Tohoku University in Japan, and the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids, has now explained why a new material continues superconducting even in extremely high magnetic fields—a property that is missing in conventional superconductors. The finding has the potential to enable previously inconceivable technological applications. The study is published in Nature Communications. "Uranium ditelluride, or UTe2 for short, is a high-flyer among superconducting materials," says Dr. Toni Helm from the Dresden High Magnetic Field Laboratory (HLD) at HZDR. "As discovered in 2019, the compound conducts electricity without loss, however, in a different way than conventional superconductors do."

The Titan of Elements

Promethium (Pm): So, finally in this series, we come to the Titan element, and, yes, it is significant that this element takes its name from the titan Prometheus. It is a highly radioactive metal and is a member of the lanthanides (yes, the elements that ‘lay hidden’, a property shared by Lanthanum, the first in this article). It is no accident that this powerful, but volatile, element is named after the titan who stole fire for mortals’ benefit…and destruction. It reflected the fears felt over its possible misuse by humans and was suggested by Mary Coryell, wife of one of the element’s discoverers, Charles D. Coryell. Humans can use and they can abuse. The name is thus rather aptly applied to a potentially dangerous atomic element.
