Scientists Design Huge Spacecraft That Could Carry 2,400 Colonists to Alpha Centauri

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-30 09:11:53

A team of engineers has come up with designs of a 36-mile spacecraft, dubbed Chrysalis, designed to carry up to 2,400 passengers to Alpha Centauri, the closest star system to our own. As first spotted by Live Science, the ambitious vision recently won the team the top prize at the Project Hyperion Design Competition, which was launched last year by an international consortium of scientists, engineers, and urban planners. Unsurprisingly, Chrysalis sounds like it was yanked straight out of a sci

It’s rolling out now for Rapid Release and coming August 14 to Scheduled Release. If you’ve spent any time in a Google Meet call, you’ll know that part of the screen is a slide deck and the rest is a gallery of participants reacting or pretending to pay attention.

Jellyfish may be spineless, but they showed the backbone of a dedicated environmentalist over the weekend. A swarm of the gelatinous sea dwellers overwhelmed a nuclear power plant in northern France, forcing its shutdown on Sunday. The incident started when a “massive and unpredictable” swarm of jellyfish started to overwhelm the filter drums, which remove debris from cooling water systems, at the Gravelines nuclear power plant that sits on the coast of the North Sea.

Glacier Melt Reveals Remains of Antarctic Meteorologist Lost 66 Years Ago

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-11-30 23:35:39

In 1959, 25-year-old meteorologist Dennis Bell disappeared into a glacial crevasse in the Antarctic before the eyes of his horrified colleague. 66 years later, a Polish team has finally discovered his remains in the wake of a receding glacier. Personnel from the Henryk Arctowski Polish Antarctic Station on Antarctica’s King George Island first found and recovered some of the remains on the Ecology Glacier in January, according to a statement by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS).

Hurricane trackers are keeping a close eye on a storm with a 90% chance of developing into a hurricane this week. If it does, it would be the first hurricane of the Atlantic season. Tropical Storm Erin, the fifth named storm of the 2025 season, formed off the coast of West Africa on Monday, August 11, according to the National Hurricane Center. As Erin treks westward across the Atlantic, NHC forecasters expect it to strengthen significantly, reaching major hurricane status northeast of Puerto R

Games giant Electronic Arts launched an open beta over the weekend for its upcoming first-person shooter Battlefield 6 and — almost immediately — the game was swamped with cheaters. Soon after the game’s launch, countless players complained online about encountering cheaters.

Physicists have created a new type of radar that could help improve underground imaging, using a cloud of atoms in a glass cell to detect reflected radio waves. The radar is a type of quantum sensor, an emerging technology that uses the quantum-mechanical properties of objects as measurement devices. It’s still a prototype, but its intended use is to image buried objects in situations such as constructing underground utilities, drilling wells for natural gas, and excavating archaeological sit

OpenSSH Post-Quantum Cryptography OpenSSH supports a number of cryptographic key agreement algorithms considered to be safe against attacks from quantum computers. We recommend that all SSH connections use these algorithms. OpenSSH has offered post-quantum key agreement (KexAlgorithms) by default since release 9.0 (2022), initially via the sntrup761x25519-sha512 algorithm.

Self-Guaranteeing Promises

Companies break promises all the time. A self-guaranteeing promise does not require you to trust anyone. You can verify a self-guaranteeing promise yourself. File over app is a self-guaranteeing promise. If files are in your control, in an open format, you can use those files in another app at any time. Not an export. The exact same files.

When a Spinosaurus attacked a T. rex in Jurassic Park III, both giant carnivores tried to finish the fight with one powerful bite of their bone-crushing jaws. The Spinosaurus won, because when the movie was being made back in the early 2000s, fossil discoveries suggested it was the largest carnivorous dinosaur that ever lived. But new research provides evidence that size and weight didn’t always create a powerful bite. “The Spinosaurus and the T. rex didn’t live at the same time at the same con

First-Ever Look at Exploding Molecules Reveals Their Quantum Secrets

In the quantum world, molecules are always on the move. And for the first time ever, scientists have directly captured these tiny quantum dances in action—and they did so by blowing them up real good. Even at absolute zero, individual particles constantly vibrate without a fixed position, a phenomenon referred to as zero-point motion. In a paper published August 7 in Science, researchers at European XFEL harnessed this behavior for the 2-iodopyridine molecule, which consists of 11 atoms. By bla
