The Radical Plan to Build a Spaceship to Carry Humans For Generations
https://www.sciencealert.com/the-radical-plan-to-build-a-spaceship-to-carry-humans-for-generations
The dream of traversing the depths of space and planting the seed of human civilization on another planet has existed for generations.
For long as we've known that most stars in the Universe are likely to have their own system of planets, there have been those who advocated that we explore them (and even settle on them).

Microbes unable to break down carbohydrates belong to a newly identified family of marine bacteria.
A German-American research team, led by Professor Iliana Baums of the Helmholtz Institute for Functional Marine Biodiversity at the University of Oldenburg (HIFMB) and Dr. Samuel Vohsen from Lehigh University in the United States, has identified two highly unusual bacterial species within the tissue of two deep-sea coral species from the Gulf of Mexico.

Study finds instability in black holes, challenges Einstein's theory
https://interestingengineering.com/science/study-challenges-einsteins-relativity-theory-finds-instability-in-black-holes
In 1963, Roy Kerr, a New Zealand-based mathematician proposed a set of equations that explain the properties of rotating black holes as per Einstein’s theory of general relativity.
These equations are collectively called the Kerr solution, and to this date, they represent one of the most accurate descriptions of rotating black holes.
However, a new study reveals that black holes are filled with instabilities, and what Kerr proposed is possibly not 100 percent accurate, especially about the internal structure of black holes.

Gemini's newest extension finally makes it a decent Google Assistant alternative
https://www.androidpolice.com/gemini-newest-extension-google-assistant-alternative/
When Google Gemini was officially unveiled in late 2023 following the company’s rebrand and relaunch of Bard, many quickly understood that Google would eventually merge all of Assistant’s functions into Gemini in due time. However, we were extremely conflicted about Gemini as a Google Assistant replacement earlier this year, as it lacked many features that Assistant had been able to do for users since it launched. Not only that, but users had to select between one or the other as their phone’s digital assistant. Things have gotten a lot better for Gemini converts today, as Google announced a new extension that handles much of what Gemini was lacking.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/adrianbridgwater/2024/11/05/riverlane-navigates-upstream-on-quantum-error-correction/
Quantum is smart. The progression toward embryonic quantum computing services represents a shift (you know what kind) in terms of the amount of intelligence we can apply to computing, data analytics and reasoning the like of which we have never seen. Without covering a brief history of quantum again, let’s assume that we understand binary is based upon 1s and 0s and that, to provide a seemingly infinite broader plain of compute, quantum is 1s and 0s and every value in between.

At a seminar held at CERN today, the CMS collaboration reported how it has analysed proton–proton collision data from the second run of the Large Hadron Collider, the Laboratory’s flagship particle accelerator, to make its first mass measurement of this fundamental particle.

The only thing displayed on the browser screen while in this annoying and seemingly unescapable kiosk mode is a login window, most often for your Google account itself, according to the researchers.

Most powerful fuel in history, created after Hawking predicted it
https://www.ecoticias.com/en/thorium-powered-engine-fuel/6412/
Hydrogen has been defined on numerous occasions as “the fuel of the future”. We have seen other alternatives, such as ammonia or even methanol (which you may remember meeting with us), but what if there was an even more powerful one? Hawking predicted decades ago that the most powerful one could exist, and now they have finally created it. This is the new engine that has everything to revolutionize the planet but would require a huge mobilization of resources to manufacture.

650-Foot High Megatsunami in Greenland Sends Seismic Waves Worldwide
https://scitechdaily.com/650-foot-high-megatsunami-in-greenland-sends-seismic-waves-worldwide/
In September 2023, a megatsunami in Greenland triggered seismic waves worldwide, caused by a landslide in Dickson Fjord. The event generated two seismic signals: a high-energy signal from the landslide and a long-lasting VLP signal from a seiche in the fjord. The findings offer new insights into the risks posed by climate change and landslides in Greenland.

Though so very far from anything approaching confirmed, the authors believe it could help solve a few cosmic mysteries, including dark matter and the "flatness problem".

Threat Actors Exploit GeoServer Vulnerability CVE-2024-36401 | FortiGuard Labs
https://www.fortinet.com/blog/threat-research/threat-actors-exploit-geoserver-vulnerability-cve-2024-36401
GeoServer is an open-source software server written in Java that allows users to share and edit geospatial data. It is the reference implementation of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Web Feature Service (WFS) and Web Coverage Service (WCS) standards. On July 1, the project maintainers released an advisory for the vulnerability CVE-2024-36401 (CVSS score: 9.8). Multiple OGC request parameters allow remote code execution (RCE) by unauthenticated users through specially crafted input against a default GeoServer installation due to unsafely evaluating property names as XPath expressions. The shortcoming has been addressed in versions 2.23.6, 2.24.4, and 2.25.2.

LHC Run 3 began in 2022, with the recommissioning of the LHC at 6.8 TeV, resulting in the delivery of 39.7 fb⁻¹ of integrated luminosity, surpassing initial expectations. Luminosity is an important indicator of the performance of a collider: it is proportional to the number of collisions that occur in a given amount of time. The higher the luminosity, the more data the experiments can gather to allow them to observe rare processes.

New Patches Bring Rust Linux Kernel Support To MIPS
https://www.phoronix.com/news/Rust-Linux-Kernel-MIPS-Patches
When it comes to the Rust programming language support within the Linux kernel one of the limitations is that the CPU architecture support isn't as widespread. Currently Rust for Linux supports x86_64, AArch64 (ARM64) little-endian, LoongArch, and RISC-V. While those cover the main targets, POWER is notably missing and many other niche CPU architectures supported by the Linux kernel especially for aging platforms. Patches posted today to the Linux kernel mailing list would extend the Rust support to MIPS.
