Junior Peña, neutrino hunter

technologyreview.com Jessica Chomik-Morales 2025-10-31 17:00:00

After his independent study helped Peña pass AP calculus as a junior, his fascination with physics led him to the University of Southern California, the 2019 session of MIT’s Summer Research Program, and then MIT for grad school. Today, he’s working to shed light on neutrinos, the ghostly uncharged particles that slip effortlessly through matter. Particles that would require a wall of lead five light-years thick to stop.

The physics of parabolic microphones: Frequency dependence of gain (2023)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-31 21:42:10

Introduction Parabolic microphones are known for their extreme sensitivity, and the origin of their acuity isn’t difficult to guess. It is the most obvious thing about them, which can also make them a liability for field use, namely, their considerable size. Just as a large amount of weak light is captured by a telescope’s parabolic mirror and made amenable to viewing with the much smaller human eye, so too are faint sounds harvested with a reflecting dish that far exceeds the dimensions of our

How these two brothers became go-to experts on America’s “mystery drone” invasion

technologyreview.com Matthew Phelan 2025-11-02 03:00:00

By late January, the incoming Trump administration would assert that the entirety of the New Jersey drone wave had been benign, with each and every UAS “authorized to be flown by the FAA for research and various other reasons.” Their surety, however, stood in stark contrast to the warnings from top military brass, including the Air Force general at the head of NORAD, Gregory Guillot. In February, he testified to the Senate that approximately 350 drone incursions had been reported over a hundred

'Ten Martini' Proof Uses Number Theory to Explain Quantum Fractals

news.ycombinator.com Lyndie Chiou 2025-11-02 03:23:18

But in some ways, the proof was a bit unsatisfying. Jitomirskaya and Avila had used a method that only applied to certain irrational values of alpha. By combining it with an intermediate proof that came before it, they could say the problem was solved. But this combined proof wasn’t elegant. It was a patchwork quilt, each square stitched out of distinct arguments. Moreover, the proofs only settled the conjecture as it was originally stated, which involved making simplifying assumptions about th

Saudi AI Firm Launches Halal Chatbot

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2025-11-03 05:00:45

Companies with AI chatbots love to highlight their capability as translators, but they still default to English, both in function and in the information they are trained on. With that in mind, Humain, an AI company in Saudi Arabia, has now launched an Arabic-native chatbot. The bot, called Humain Chat, runs on the Allam large language model, according to Bloomberg, which the company claims was trained on “one of the largest Arabic datasets ever assembled” and is the “world’s most advanced Arabi

This Is the Best Oil to Use for Every Type of Cooking

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-11-03 05:00:00

Cooking oil can completely transform a dish, but using the wrong one can ruin it. While olive oil is a go-to for many home cooks, it isn't always the best choice. The reason? Its lower smoke point means it can burn at high temperatures, leaving food with an unpleasant, bitter taste. For frying, searing or any other high-heat cooking, reach for neutral oils like canola, avocado or grapeseed instead. They can withstand hotter temperatures and deliver a cleaner, crisper finish.

Toxic Avenger gets grindhouse-style trailer

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-04 00:49:49

The Toxic Avenger, a semi-reboot of the 1984 superhero splatter-fest, made the rounds of the festival circuit back in 2023. But all the violence and gore scared off most distributors, so the film—starring Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones) in the title role—has been languishing in the vault for much of the last two years. Thanks to Cineverse, The Toxic Avenger is finally coming to select theaters this weekend. And thanks to the folks at Bloody Disgusting (a Cineverse subsidiary), we've got a trai

How the cavefish lost its eyes—again and again

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-04 15:51:50

Time and again, whenever a population was swept into a cave and survived long enough for natural selection to have its way, the eyes disappeared. “But it’s not that everything has been lost in cavefish,” says geneticist Jaya Krishnan of the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation. “Many enhancements have also happened.” Though the demise of their eyes continues to fascinate biologists, in recent years, attention has shifted to other intriguing aspects of cavefish biology.

The Mysterious Shortwave Radio Station Stoking US-Russia Nuclear Fears

wired.com Justin Ling 2025-11-05 10:00:00

Shortly after US president Donald Trump hung up a call with Russia’s Vladimir Putin this spring, an obscure shortwave radio channel, broadcasting from a military base somewhere in Russia, sprang to life. Through a fog of static, at 4625 kHz on the shortwave dial, a man’s voice spoke in monotone: “Nikolai, Zhenya, Tatiana, Ivan.” He repeats the message—spelled out in the Russian phonetic alphabet—followed by a series of numbers and letters. The whole message reads: “NZhTI 01263 BOLTANKA 4430 952

Busy beaver hunters reach numbers that overwhelm ordinary math

news.ycombinator.com Ben Brubaker 2025-11-02 16:47:08

But just how much harder? In 1962, the mathematician Tibor Radó invented a new way to explore this question through what he called the busy beaver game. To play, start by choosing a specific number of rules — call that number n. Your goal is to find the n-rule Turing machine that runs the longest before eventually halting. This machine is called the busy beaver, and the corresponding busy beaver number, BB(n), is the number of steps that it takes. In principle, if you want to find the busy beav
