Broken pipe knocks out NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory
(NASA/SDO)
Scientists won't be able to process much of the data gathered by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and IRIS spacecraft for a while, thanks to a burst water pipe. That pipe - a 4-inch-wide (10 centimeters) cooling water line in a server room at Stanford University in California that's home to the SDO Joint Science Operations Center (JSOC) - burst on Nov. 26.

Cosmic rays could help assess hidden damage in Ukraine
(Getty)
Energetic particles that pop briefly into existence when cosmic rays hit Earth's atmosphere could help assess hidden damage to buildings in Ukraine after the war ends. These particles - known as muons - are very strange. They are birthed from collisions between high-energy protons and atomic nuclei that make up cosmic rays, and molecules in Earth's atmosphere.

Night sky, December 2024: What you can see this month
(Chris Vaughan/Starry Night)
The northeastern sky on tonight's December evening hosts the bright constellations of Perseus and W-shaped Cassiopeia, with the very bright yellowish star Capella gleaming below them. The sky between Perseus and Cassiopeia hosts the Double Cluster, a pair of bright open star clusters that together cover a finger's width of the sky.

Chinese astronauts show fruit fly experiment on Tiangong
(CCTV)
China's Shenzhou 19 astronauts have some winged companions to oversee aboard the country's space station. The astronauts arrived at the Tiangong space station on Oct. 29, beginning their six-month-long stay in orbit. They have since been joined by 15 adult fruit flies and 40 pupae, which arrived aboard the Tianzhou 8 resupply mission on Nov. 15.

Hubble peeks planet-forming disk 3x hotter than the sun's
(NASA-JPL, Caltech)
A star about 1,360 light-years away from Earth, named FU Orionis, is twice as hot as astronomers previously suspected, according to recent data from the Hubble Space Telescope. In fact, scientists believe that the region where FU Orionis's planet-forming disk touches the star's surface glows at around 16,000 Kelvin - three times hotter than the surface of our sun.

Near Space Labs launches fleet of AI-powered balloon robots
(Sen)
Near Space Labs, a New York-based startup, has deployed a network of high-altitude balloons equipped with advanced robotic cameras to capture high-resolution images of disaster-prone neighborhoods across the United States. With this enhanced imagery, the startup said it aims to accelerate the work of insurance companies that rely on aerial data to assess property risks and respond to damage caused by extreme weather events.

SETI tracks signals with data from Arecibo Observatory
(Robert Lea (created with Canva))
You can knock a good telescope out, but you can't keep it down. Using data from the now-destroyed Arecibo radio telescope, scientists from the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute have unlocked the secrets of signals from "cosmic lighthouses" powered by dead stars.

Уважаемые коллеги!

На заседании Ученого совета ИТФ в пятницу 06.12 в 11:30 будет заслушан 1 доклад:
1). Д. С. Катков, C. С. Апостолов, И. С. Бурмистров
Связанные состояния и рассеяние магнонов на сверхпроводящем вихре в гетероструктурах ферромагнетик–сверхпроводник

Изучен магнонный спектр в тонкой гетероструктуре ферромагнетик--сверхпроводник в присутствии сверхпроводящего вихря. Для этого используется гамильтониан типа Боголюбова--Де Жена, описывающий магноны в присутствии внешнего магнитного поля и неоднородного профиля намагниченности, создаваемого этим вихрем. Показано, что на вихре образуются связанные состояния магнонов подобно тому, как заряженный центр создает связанные состояния электронов из-за экранированного кулоновского взаимодействия в двумерном электронном газе. Число этих локализованных состояний определяется только материальными параметрами ферромагнитной пленки. Также решена задача рассеяния для плоской падающей спиновой волны и вычислены полное и транспортное сечения рассеяния. Показано, что профиль намагниченности, создаваемый вихрем в пленке кирального ферромагнетика приводит к асимметричному рассеянию магнонов. Обсуждены особенности квантовой задачи рассеяния, соответствующие орбитальному обращению в классическом пределе.

Результаты опубликованы в D.S. Katkov, S.S. Apostoloff, I. S. Burmistrov, ``Bound states and scattering of magnons on a superconducting vortex in ferromagnet-superconductor heterostructures'', Pis&#039;ma v ZhETF 120, 681 (2024). (http://jetpletters.ru/ps/2486/article_36479.pdf)

Gamma rays emerging from neutron stars at the hearts of supernova explosions could solve the mystery of dark matter - in just 10 seconds. That is, if dark matter is composed of axions, which are hypothetical lightweight particles that are currently the leading candidates for dark matter.

Alien communication could be easier with AI interactions

In the 2016 science fiction movie Arrival, a linguist is faced with the daunting task of deciphering an alien language consisting of palindromic phrases, which read the same backwards as they do forwards, written with circular symbols. As she discovers various clues, different nations around the world interpret the messages differently - with some assuming they convey a threat.
