A new observation about WR or Wolf-Rayet stars is that they can transform into magnetars.

 A new observation about WR or Wolf-Rayet stars is that they can transform into magnetars. 


The magnetars and WR stars are things that interest fusion developers. The high-energy blue stars can give tips on how to keep high-energy plasma steady in fusion reactors. The WR stars can also give tips for making new types of plasma-based magnets that can be used to control plasma in fusion reactors. 

Wolf-Rayet stars are blue supergiants formed of helium. The Wolf-Rayet stars are extremely strong magnetic fields and they are extremely hot. There is a model that some magnetars, lightweight neutron stars with extremely powerful magnetic fields can have origin as Wolf-Rayet stars. When magnetic power lines of Wolf-Rayet stars are traveling around its core magnetic fields harvest energy. Mainly that energy comes from WR star. But some part of that energy comes from WR Star's entirety. 

In this model is a possibility, that the magnetic field around the WR star becomes more and more powerful. And it can press the plasma of the WR star into the magnetar. In that model, the magnetic field acts like a powerful press. A powerful magnetic field crushes the WR star into a neutron star. In that model, the transformation of the WR star into magnetar doesn't always require a supernova explosion.

During this explosion, its core will contract, trapping and concentrating the star’s already daunting magnetic field lines. Credit: NOIRLab/AURA/NSF/P. Marenfeld/M. Zamani".

But normally WR stars will explode when they turn into magnetars. The high-power radiation decreases the mass of the WR star very fast. And that means the origin of the WR star could be a very large star. But high power radiation can increase its mass very fast. And that means its fate could be different than predicted. 

"New findings centered on observations and stellar evolution models of a hot, helium-rich Wolf-Rayet star suggest that it is set to produce a magnetar when it undergoes a supernova explosion. These findings present a deeper understanding of the formation process of magnetars, which are considered the most magnetic entities in the Universe".

WR star is an extremely hot, blue helium star. The high energy radiation in that star pushes quantum fields around it away. That causes a situation. Where energy starts to flow out from WR star faster than usual. And that causes the expansion of the WR star. Expansion decreases the power of the nuclear reaction. That decreases the radiation pressure. And the quantum field drops back in. And that thing increases energy production. That cycle causes rings around the WR star.

Quantum breakthrough: stable quantum entanglement at room temperature.

"Researchers have achieved quantum coherence at room temperature by embedding a light-absorbing chromophore within a metal-organic framework. This breakthrough, facilitating the maintenance of a quantum system’s state without external interference, marks a significant advancement for quantum computing and sensing technologies". (ScitechDaily, Quantum Computing Breakthrough: Stable Qubits at Room Temperature) Japanese researchers created stable quantum entanglement at room temperature. The system used a light-absorbing chromophore along with a metal-organic framework. This thing is a great breakthrough in quantum technology. The room-temperature quantum computers are the new things, that make the next revolution in quantum computing. This technology may come to markets sooner than we even think. The quantum computer is the tool, that requires advanced operating- and support systems.  When the support system sees that the quantum entanglement starts to reach energy stability. I

"Physicists at UC Berkeley immobilized small clusters of cesium atoms (pink blobs) in a vertical vacuum chamber, then split each atom into a quantum state in which half of the atom was closer to a tungsten weight (shiny cylinder) than the other half (split spheres below the tungsten). (ScitechDaily, Beyond Gravity: UC Berkeley’s Quantum Leap in Dark Energy Research) By measuring the phase difference between the two halves of the atomic wave function, they were able to calculate the difference in the gravitational attraction between the two parts of the atom, which matched what is expected from Newtonian gravity.
