Hundreds of guests at a major tourist destination had to be evacuated. The Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO) confirmed that the eruption began with a fissure spanning roughly three kilometers (nearly two miles) stretching between the Stóra-Skógfell and Hagafell mountains on the Reykjanes Peninsula.

[Subscribe here.]( MUST READ 🌋 Icelandic volcano erupts for fourth time in three months As per a statement by geophysicist Magnús Tumi Guðmundsson, this latest eruption may be the [most powerful]( out of the recent series. The Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO) is closely monitoring the situation with potential lava flow directed towards Grindavik’s defensive barriers. The volcano is just a few kilometers northeast of Grindavik, a coastal town of approximately [3,800 people](. Grindavik sits around 50 kilometers (30 miles) southwest of the Icelandic capital of Reykjavik and had its residents evacuate prior to the original eruption last December. Some residents had begun returning home, only to be evacuated once again on Saturday. Thankfully, the recent eruptions have caused no confirmed deaths. However, a worker was [declared missing]( after falling into a fissure created by the ongoing volcanic events. 🔊The most powerful phonon laser ever made In a recent study, researchers presented the [brightest phonon laser](. Led by Hui Jing of Hunan Normal University in China and his colleagues, the new laser is touted as the [most powerful sound laser’ ever made.]( Just to go back in history a notch, five years ago, two scientists conveyed considerable scientific interest in creating phonon lasers. These replace the [oscillations of light waves]( with the vibrations of tiny solid particles. ‘Phonon’ derives from the fact that sound is composed of particles known as phonons. As per the latest study, phonon lasers, mechanical analogs of optical lasers, have applications ranging from ultra-sound sensing to atmospherical monitoring and even [bio-medical diagnosis.]( 📺 Research yields method for extended lifespan, high-definition OLED displays High-efficiency blue organic[light-emitting diodes (OLEDs)]( are a type of organic electronics that are already widely used in displays and cell phones. Still, despite their vibrant visual quality, OLED television panels are expensive and have relatively short lifespans. Now, a team of researchers in the UK has developed a novel approach to simplify [OLED architecture for high efficiency.]( Their study highlights that blue light-emitting pixels are necessary for a functional display but are also the source of the issues. To address this, they created a new molecule that reduces the emissive layer of the blue pixel to just two parts while retaining excellent efficiency. The development could contribute to a significant decrease in cost for both [manufacturers and consumers.]( IE+ Love what you're reading?
