Yesterday, NASA successfully launched the Europa Clipper, the largest spacecraft the agency has ever built for a planetary mission. Clipper is now successfully on its multi-year journey to Europa, bristling with equipment to study the Jovian moon’s potential to support life—but just a few months ago, the mission was almost doomed. In July, researchers at NASA found out that a group of Europa Clipper’s transistors would fail under Jupiter’s extreme radiation levels. They spent months testing devices, updating their flight trajectories, and ultimately adding a warning “canary box” to monitor the effects of radiation as the mission progresses. The canary…

Billionaire Elon Musk has funnelled about $75m over three months into an organisation he created in support of former United States President Donald Trump, the 2024 Republican presidential candidate. The spending, revealed in a federal disclosure on Tuesday, underscores how Musk has become a key piece of Trump’s efforts to win the November 5 presidential election against Democratic candidate Kamala Harris. It also underscores the persistent influence of mega-donors in US politics. Speaker to right-wing personality Tucker Carlson earlier this month, Musk said he had created the group, known as a political action committee or PAC, to “support the core…
Following an up-and-down regular season, the New York Yankees are rolling in October. What’s the difference? Other than the hot hitting of Giancarlo Stanton, a few key decisions by Aaron Boone have driven the Bombers’ success so far.The most impactful move Boone has made is dropping Clay Holmes from the ninth inning. Holmes only completed 30 of 43 save opportunities during the regular season. He was virtually an automatic blown save toward the end of the year.But when Boone began using Luke Weaver as his new closer, Holmes stepped up to provide dominance as a setup man. That one-two punch…

Quantum theory is poking holes in our understanding of entropyVICTOR de SCHWANBERG/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY Measuring disorder in the quantum realm is creating a bit of a mess. A mathematical study found that three different definitions for entropy that were previously thought to be equivalent don’t always match for quantum objects. When two objects are connected – say a container of hot gas is linked to a colder gas reservoir – the entropy of the colder one can increase because the two will exchange quantities like particles and heat. For almost 200 years, physicists have used the same set… Source link
