Un télescope de la NASA confirme une théorie quantique vieille de 90 ans

  • Le satellite IXPE de la NASA a enregistré plus de 140 heures d'observation du magnétar 1E 1547-5408, détectant une polarisation des rayons X étonnamment forte, selon une étude publiée mercredi dans Nature.
  • Cette découverte soutient la biréfringence du vide, une prédiction quantique de 1936 selon laquelle des champs magnétiques intenses peuvent déformer l'espace vide et altérer la propagation de la lumière.
  • Les chercheurs indiquent qu'il s'agit de la première mesure coordonnée de la polarisation radio et rayons X d'un magnétar, avec d'autres observations prévues.
