By using a stimulated Brillouin scattering laser in a strontium-ion optical clock instead of the usual bulk-cavity-stabilized laser, the need for vacuum is removed and resonator volume is substantially reduced.

A methodology that utilizes measurements in the variation of flux from cosmic muons (heavy cousins of the electron)—called archaeological muography—detected evidence for a possible second entrance and hidden corridor in the Great Pyramid of Giza (the largest of the Pyramids of Giza). As well, thermal imaging have revealed perplexing thermal anomalies in the Great Pyramid. Several explanations were put forward to explain the cause of the anomalies, but one particularly suggestive explanation was that it is due to increased air circulation caused by a hidden corridor or chamber — corroborating similar findings using muonic radiographic analysis.

(WXYZ) — The Northern Lights could be visible over Michigan this week due to anticipated effects from a coronal mass ejection (CME).

The CME happened on Monday, Dec. 7 and was associated with a C7 flare, according to the Space Weather Prediction Center.

It could arrive to earth late on Wednesday night which could result in G1 (Minor) storm levels.

As soon as Thursday, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is predicting that a solar outburst could generate northern lights or aurora as far south as Oregon to Pennsylvania.

If it lives up to initial projections, AMSL Aero’s recently launched Vertiia could have a top cruise speed of 186 mph and eventual range of 500 miles.

Nvidia researchers detailed an augmentation pipeline for training GANs with less data in a paper published at the NeurIPS conference.
