And now something weird

The brand-new image, just beamed back from space, revealed a place like no other ever seen. It was a moon teeming with vibrant volcanoes. Cummings, a cosmic-ray physicist at my soon to be
Alma-martyr, Caltech — the research university that manages the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory — couldn't believe his eyes.

NASA scientist viewed first Voyager images. What he saw gave him chills.

The deep space mission that changed everything.

There seems to be some gaps in the matrix

That was intentional on my part!
You are a consummate professional, that to which I aspire to… thank you sir. Sincerely -Delta Prime.

More than 20 robots race alongside humans at half marathon in Beijing

The robots came in all different shapes and sizes. One looked almost human, with feminine features and the ability to wink and smile.

The Cat's Paw Nebula, imaged here by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope using the MIPS and IRAC instruments, is a star-forming region that lies inside the Milky Way galaxy. New stars may heat up the surrounding gas, which can expand to form "bubbles."

Classical physics theories suggest that when two or more electromagnetic waves interfere destructively (i.e., with their electric fields canceling each other out), they cannot interact with matter. In contrast, quantum mechanics theory suggests that light particles continue interacting with other matter even when their average electric field is equal to zero

New quantum optics theory proposes that classical interference arises from bright and dark states of light

Does this lead to any exploitable non-linearities?

With sound, an amplitude modulated high frequency carrier can be amplified to such an extent that the low pressure half of an oscillation tries to go negative. Of course the poor waveform hits a vacuum beyond which progress is imaginary and causes short circuits... but demodulates the signal.

No such fun with light though... ?

Watch the moment a tiny dog chased a black bear out of a Vancouver home

Home security video captured a feisty little Pomeranian fearlessly chasing a black bear out of a Vancouver home after it ate the dog’s food.

Also found at AAC:

Reminds me of one time a customer brought a stereo unit to be repaired with the fault ticket reading "no-go"... The fault turned out to be that several tinfoil packages of a green material had found their way in under the turntable and blown the fuse.

A simple and satisfying repair.

Quantum mechanics trumps the second law of thermodynamics at the atomic scale

Two physicists at the University of Stuttgart have proven that the Carnot principle, a central law of thermodynamics, does not apply to objects on the atomic scale whose physical properties are linked (so-called correlated objects). This discovery could, for example, advance the development of...

"This is an exciting moment for neutral-atom quantum computing," says Manuel Endres, professor of physics at Caltech. "We can now see a pathway to large error-corrected quantum computers.
