Astronomers Detect Entirely New Type of Plasma Wave Above Jupiter’s North Pole

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-07-20 10:00:55

Since entering Jupiter’s orbit in 2016, NASA’s Juno spacecraft has been hard at work unveiling the many mysteries of our solar system’s largest planet. And its latest discovery may be one of the most intriguing yet: an entirely new type of plasma wave near Jupiter’s poles. In a paper published Wednesday in Physical Review Letters, astronomers describe an unusual pattern of plasma waves in Jupiter’s magnetosphere—a magnetic “bubble” shielding the planet from external radiation.

Colossal Eruption Carves ‘Canyon of Fire’ Onto the Sun’s Surface

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-07-25 10:10:22

On July 15, a solar filament erupted from the Sun’s upper left side, ejecting a powerful blast of plasma and magnetic fields into space. The resulting explosion was so massive that it seared a deep, fiery scar of hot plasma and debris onto the star’s visible surface. While filament eruptions aren’t uncommon, astronomers had already been watching an unusually large filament—cold, dense ribbons of gas suspended above the Sun’s surface—that they spotted days before the explosion. When the filament

YPlasma zaps the air to cool chips for data centers

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2025-08-06 07:40:00

If you didn’t know any better, you might think it’s magic. David Garcia gave TechCrunch a demo video demonstration of a device developed by his company, YPlasma. A row of five candles sit in front of a harmonica-like device with wires hanging off it. Suddenly, the flames flicker and then snuff out. Inside the device, two strips of copper coursing with electrical current are generating plasmas, or clouds of charged particles, that induce airflow through the cavity and out over the candles. It’

This Debian-based Linux distro is an overlooked and user-friendly gem

zdnet.com Jack Wallen 2025-08-23 06:31:20

Jack Wallen/ZDNET I spend a lot of time looking for Linux distributions that fit in certain niches, and one of the most important niches is those open-source operating systems that can serve the general public. When looking for such distributions, I tend to consider those based on Ubuntu first, which one might think is limiting, but there are hundreds of distributions with that base. Every so often, however, I run into a Debian-based distribution that fits the bill. That makes perfect sense, g

Your jump from Windows 10 to Linux gets easier with KDE Plasma 6.4

zdnet.com Steven Vaughan-Nichols 2025-09-03 06:01:11

Weiquan Lin/Getty For the last few years, my favorite Linux desktop interface has been Linux Mint Cinnamon. However, that adoration doesn't mean I can't appreciate other Linux desktops. For example, when the KDE Community recently released KDE Plasma 6.4, I decided to give it a try on my openSUSE Tumbleweed machine, a Dell XPS 8300 with a 3.4GHz Intel Core i7-2600 processor, 16GB DDR3 RAM, and a 1.5TB 7200 rpm hard drive from 2011. That machine can run Windows 10 (you can forget about Windows

Every fusion startup that has raised over $100M

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2025-09-07 10:39:01

Over the last several years, fusion power has gone from the butt of jokes — always a decade away! — to an increasingly tangible and tantalizing technology that has drawn investors off the sidelines. The technology may be challenging to master and expensive to build today, but fusion promises to harness the nuclear reaction that powers the sun to generate nearly limitless energy here on Earth. If startups are able to complete commercially viable fusion power plants, then they have the potential
