A team of researchers from Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, Stuttgart, Germany, and University of Stuttgart, Stuttgart, Germany have developed a novel silver nanoparticle-graphene hybrid photodetector device with an increased ability to detect Ultraviolet light.
The team observed two merging galaxies and discovered that the energy from a quasar is actively transforming the gas within its companion galaxy, thereby dictating whether new stars can form.
