Scientists Detect Precise Origin of Mysterious Signal From Deep Space

futurism.com Unknown 2025-12-14 10:30:20

For almost two decades, astronomers have been trying in vain to explain extremely bright flashes of radio bursts emanating from deep space. Despite only lighting up for a tiny fraction of a second, these fast radio bursts (FRBs) have been known to release as much energy as the Sun puts out in an entire year. Now, in what's being called a "turning point," an international team of researchers has traced back the location of the origin of one of the brightest FRBs ever detected, allowing them to

Making Games in Go: 3 Months Without LLMs vs. 3 Days with LLMs

What Is the Magnetic Constant and Why Does It Matter?

wired.com Rhett Allain 2025-12-14 11:30:00

This means these three values can’t be independent; if you know two of them, you can derive the third. How do physicists deal with this? We define the speed of light as exactly 299,792,458 meters per second. (How do we know it’s exact? Because we define a meter as the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 of a second.) Then we measure the magnetic constant (μ 0 ) and use that value along with the speed of light to calculate the electric constant (ε 0 ). Maybe that seems like cheating, but to

In Brief When Amazon hired the founders of AI startup Adept last year, it was one of the first examples of what became known as a reverse acquihire — a deal where a large company hires key startup team members and licenses its technology, rather than acquiring the startup outright.

SpaceX Is Losing a Staggering Amount of Money Every Time One of Its Starships Explodes

Time is ticking for SpaceX's Starship.

Given Starship's track record so far — nine full-scale test flights have ended in explosions shortly after launch, explosions in space, and crashes into the ocean — it's a steep goa
