Tunable ultrafast EUV HHG captures the competing dynamics of spin-flips and spin-transfers in a Heusler Co2MnGa compound. Credit: Steven Burrows/Murnane and Kapteyn GroupsBreakthrough research enables precise control of electron spins in magnetic materials, a significant step towards the development of faster, more efficient electronics.Deep within every piece of magnetic material, electrons dance to the invisible tune of quantum mechanics. Their spins, akin to tiny atomic tops, dictate the magnetic behavior of the…

Humans have dreamed about traveling to other star systems and setting foot on alien worlds for generations. To put it mildly, interstellar exploration is a very daunting task.As Universe Today explored in a previous post, it would take between 19,000 and 81,000 years for a spacecraft to reach Proxima Centauri using conventional propulsion (or those that are feasible using current technology). On top of that, there are numerous risks when traveling through the interstellar medium (ISM), not all of which are…

Federal authorities have launched civil rights investigations into five California campuses — UCLA, UC San Diego, Stanford, San Diego State and Santa Monica College — since the Israel-Hamas war erupted two months ago, but it is not known how many may involve allegations of antisemitism or harassment against Arabs and Muslims.At least one university, San Diego State, said the complaint triggering the federal action involved a June 2023 incident that “is in no way related to the Israel-Hamas War or any dispute between…

NASA’s Perseverance rover, on its 1,000th Martian day, has collected important samples in Jezero Crater, uncovering evidence of a past lake and conditions potentially suitable for life. These findings contribute to the understanding of Mars’ geological history and the search for ancient life. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com Now at 1,000 days on Mars, the mission has traversed an ancient river and lake system, collecting valuable samples along the way. Marking its 1,000th Martian day on the Red Planet, NASA’s…

There has been increased interest in unidentified flying objects (UFOs) ever since the Pentagon's 2021 report revealed what appears to be anomalous objects in US airspace, dubbed unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP).Fast forward to 2023, and Nasa has already formed a panel to investigate the reports and appointed a director for UAP research.A newly founded Pentagon desk has also released footage of mysterious metallic orbs. What is perhaps most remarkable is that David Grusch, a former intelligence officer, testified…

The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said last month it was investigating the safety of Cruise vehicles.General Motors' Cruise driverless car unit said on Tuesday it will pause all supervised and manual car trips in the U.S. and expand the scope of investigations at the robotaxi operator in the aftermath of an accident that initially led to the suspension of driverless vehicle operations."This orderly pause is a further step to rebuild public…

The EU added Meta and Snap to a growing list of tech companies it is probing to see how they are complying with a new law meant to stop illegal content online. The European Commission said it has sent formal requests for information to Meta, parent of Facebook and Instagram, and Snap, which runs the Snapchat image and messaging app, on what measures they have taken to protect minors online. They have until December 1 to reply.The probes are only an initial stage under the EU's Digital Services Act, which came into force…

The following contains spoilers for “Under the Cloak of War.” “Some things break in a way that can never be repaired, only managed.” It’s the final line in a powerhouse episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. “Under the Cloak of War” lays out a host of questions about memory, grief and redemption – reiterating the key obsessions of this season – none of which it could possibly answer. For some shows, this would be a bad thing, but Strange New Worlds is becoming increasingly comfortable living with ambiguity. Much as I…
