A spacecraft that twists space, the solution to travel through the universe
https://www.eldiario24.com/en/a-spacecraft-that-twists-space-light/1077/
The concept of faster-than-light travel has existed and is common in the realm of science fiction for decades now. However, the idea of wrap drives interstellar journeys has captured the imagination of many, especially in the series called Star Trek. Which of these ideas and concepts were more than just fiction and imagination? It seems like the new development of science theory is slowly becoming a subject of interest.

The CMS experiment at CERN is the latest to weigh in on the mass of the W boson – an elementary particle that, along with the Z boson, mediates the weak force, which is responsible for a form of radioactivity and initiates the nuclear fusion reaction that powers the Sun.
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.

Newly published research has revealed how threat actors are using a devious new technique to force Chrome browser users to reveal their Google account passwords out of nothing more than sheer frustration. The credential-stealing campaign, which uses malware called StealC, locks the user’s browser in kiosk mode while blocking both the F11 and ESC keys to prevent them from escaping out of this full-screen mode. 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.

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.

Accelerator report: LHC run 3 achieves record-breaking integrated luminosity
https://phys.org/news/2024-09-lhc-luminosity.html
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.

A recent study underscores the dynamic nature of black holes and extends similar thermodynamic characteristics to Extremely Compact Objects, advancing our comprehension of their behavior in quantum gravity scenarios.
A paper titled “Universality of the thermodynamics of a quantum-mechanically radiating black hole departing from thermality,” published in Physics Letters B highlights the importance of considering black holes as dynamical systems, where variations in their geometry during radiation emissions are critical to accurately describing their thermodynamic behavior.

Rumors about Justin Trudeau's relationship with former Cuban president Fidel Castro have once again surfaced - this time in Donald Trump's latest book.
Fact-checkers have long dismissed the claim that the Canadian Prime Minister is the son of the late revolutionary leader - and both governments have been pressed to say the link is bogus.
But that has not stopped the former US president and Republican hopeful from repeating the myth in his latest work, 'Save America'.
