NASA chooses Starship to deliver Artemis lunar rover

Posted by in category: space travel

The LTV program involves companies taking responsibility for delivering lunar rovers to the Moon, with the possibility of commercial use outside of NASA’s requirements.

Lunar Outpost Executive Director Justin Cyrus said that the choice of Starship was due to SpaceX’s high level of technological advancement, the rapid pace of their work, and the quality of the organization. It’s a vehicle that we think will be able to provide reliable landing on the lunar surface, and we know that they can get it done on the timelines we need, Cyrus emphasized.

The Lunar Outpost Eagle rover is designed to be compatible with a variety of landing systems, but Starship is the prioritized choice. The company strives to remain flexible in its choice of technical solutions by evaluating the progress of the industry over time.

Can Quantum Computers Solve the Many-Body Puzzle? Physicists Develop New Metric

Posted by in categories: computing, information science, quantum physics

The V-score benchmarks classical and quantum algorithms in solving the many-body problem. The study highlights quantum computings potential for tackling complex material systems while providing an open-access framework for future research innovations.

Scientists aspire to use quantum computing to explore complex phenomena that have been difficult for current computers to analyze, such as the characteristics of novel and exotic materials. However, despite the excitement surrounding each announcement of “quantum supremacy,” it remains challenging to pinpoint when quantum computers and algorithms will offer a clear, practical advantage over classical systems.

A large collaboration led by Giuseppe Carleo, a physicist at the Swiss Federal Institute for Technology (EPFL) in Lausane and the member of the National Center for Competence in Research NCCR MARVEL, has now introduced a method to compare the performance of different algorithms, both classical and quantum ones, when simulating complex phenomena in condensed matter physics. The new benchmark, called V-score, is described in an article just published in Science.

Ancient hot water on Mars: A habitable past of planet

Posted by in categories: chemistry, space

A new study by Curtin University has revealed what could be the oldest direct evidence of ancient hot water activity on Mars. The research focused on a 4.45 billion-year-old zircon grain from the Martian meteorite NWA7034, also called Black Beauty. The analysis found geochemical signatures suggesting that water-rich fluids were present, providing evidence that Mars may have been habitable in the past.

Chinese scientists claim they have built a Death Star-inspired beam weapon

Posted by in categories: energy, space

Do you remember the moment in “Star Wars” when the Death Star destroys Alderaan? Eight laser beams converge at a single point to form a super-powered laser that obliterates the planet. It was a memorable scene that demonstrated the unrelenting power of the Empire.

Although it is unclear whether they were inspired by the scene, Chinese scientists claim they have created a new type of microwave weapon that combines several high-powered electromagnetic waves. They can then concentrate them onto a target.

The weapon system consists of multiple microwave-transmitting vehicles that are deployed to different locations. Each of the vehicles fire microwaves with high-precision synchronization. These merge together into a powerful energy beam to attack one target.
