DARPA Tried Using the Earth's Atmosphere as a Giant Sensor and Detected Something Interesting

While trying to determine if it could use the entire Earth's atmosphere as a massive sensor, the US military’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) made a highly unusual detection. The agency, which has overseen the development of cutting-edge military technologies for decades, encountered the signature of a SpaceX Falcon 9 reentering the atmosphere during a test in New Mexico last year. The goal of DARPA's AtmoSense program, which kicked off in late 2020, is to determine whether acoustic and electromagnetic waves propagating through the Earth's atmosphere could allow the US military to detect major events and disturbances, such as [...]

Gamers Panic as Tariffs Poised to Spike Prices for Gaudy RGB PC Components

President Donald Trump's baffling escalation of his trade war has bodychecked international markets and is expected to leave countless industries with major bruises. Americans, in particular, will bear the brunt of Trump's escalating tariffs. After all, tariffs are essentially a tax on goods from other countries, additional costs that are expected to be passed down to consumers. The electronics sector is already taking a beating, indicating that gamers are about to be faced with skyrocketing prices as supply lines fall into chaos.

Researchers Demonstrate Quantum Computing's Abilities in Chemistry

Kenneth Merz, PhD, of Cleveland Clinic's Center for Computational Life Sciences, and a research team are testing quantum computing's abilities in chemistry through integrating machine learning and quantum circuits. Chemistry is one of the areas where quantum computing shows the most potential because of the technology's ability to predict an unlimited number of possible outcomes. To determine quantum computing's ability to perform complex chemical calculations, Dr. Merz and Hongni Jin, PhD, decided to test its ability to simulate proton affinity, a fundamental chemical process that is critical to life. Dr. Merz and Dr. Jin focused on using machine learning applications on quantum hardware. This is a critical advantage over other quantum research which relies on simulators to mimic a quantum computer's abilities. In this study, published in the Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation, the team was able to demonstrate the capabilities of quantum machine learning by creating a

NASA Webb Explores Effect of Strong Magnetic Fields on Star Formation

Despite decades of study, the process of star formation still holds many mysteries. Stars are the source of nearly all the universe's chemical elements, including carbon and oxygen, so understanding why and how they form -- or not -- is a crucial initial step in understanding how the universe works and the origins of just about everything, including life on Earth. At the heart of our Milky Way galaxy is the star-forming region Sagittarius C, which despite a wealth of raw material does not make as many stars as astronomers would expect. Two new studies have used NASA's James Webb Space Telescope to investigate star formation in this extreme environment that is relatively near the supermassive black hole at the core of the Milky Way, at 200 light-years distance.

The battle between resilient plants and cunning viruses: Study discovers a novel RNA silencing mechanism

Unlike animals, plants do not possess an adaptive immune system with antibodies or T cells to fight viral infections. Instead, they rely on the RNA silencing system, which serves as their innate immune defense by recognizing and degrading viral RNA. In turn, viruses have evolved viral suppressors to inhibit the RNA silencing pathway, thus facilitating the successful infection of the host plant.
