Meet the Players: Melissa Sage-Bollenbach

South Side Sox 

Melissa Sage-Bollenbach/South Side Sox

I was thrilled when Brett reached out to me to join SSS! When I was 12, I wanted to be an umpire, then a broadcaster. Neither of those dreams came true, but at 50 years old, I’m excited to be involved with the game. When not commiserating about the White Sox, I spend time buying and selling retro video game systems with my son, visiting the 30 baseball stadiums with my husband, cuddling with my two rescue pups, and attending country concerts with my daughter.

Scientists apply boron to tungsten components in fusion facilities

Energy-daily.com 

Plainsboro NJ (SPX) Sep 01, 2022 - What is the connection between boron, an element in a common household cleaner, and tokamaks, ring-shaped fusion facilities that heat fuel to million-degree temperatures? Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have conducted research showing that a PPPL-developed powder dropper can successfully drop boron powder into high-temperature plasma within tokamaks that have parts made of a heat-resistant material known as tungsten.

A new concept for low-cost batteries

Energy-daily.com 

Boston MA (SPX) Sep 06, 2022 - As the world builds out ever larger installations of wind and solar power systems, the need is growing fast for economical, large-scale backup systems to provide power when the sun is down and the air is calm. Today's lithium-ion batteries are still too expensive for most such applications, and other options such as pumped hydro require specific topography that's not always available.

Now, researchers at MIT and elsewhere have developed a new kind of battery, made... Читать дальше...

Red Giant Betelgeuse was yellow some 2,000 years ago

Spacedaily.com 

Jena, Germany (SPX) Sep 06, 2022 - With progressing nuclear fusion in the center of a star, brightness, size, and color also change. Astrophysicists can derive from such properties important information on age and mass of a star. Those stars with significantly more mass than our Sun are blue-white or red - the transition from red via yellow and orange is relative rapid for astronomical time-scales.

Astrophysicists of Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Germany, together with colleagues of other subjects from the USA and Italy... Читать дальше...

Astronomers obtain sky's large-field X-ray maps

Spacedaily.com 

Beijing (XNA) Sep 06, 2022 - Chinese astronomers have released the world's first collection of large-field X-ray maps of the sky, captured by a small satellite put into orbit last month.

The Wide-field X-ray Telescope, launched into orbit on July 27 by a solid-propellant-fuelled rocket, is the first large-field X-ray imaging telescope, according to the National Astronomical Observatory of China.

Why do galaxies stop making stars

Spacedaily.com 

Pittsburgh PA (SPX) Sep 06, 2022 - Six billion years ago, two galaxies were colliding, their combined forces hurling a stream of gas hundreds of thousands of light years away. Reported this week by a team including Pitt astronomers, that unusual feature provides a new possible explanation for why galaxies stop forming stars.

"One of the biggest questions in astronomy is why the biggest galaxies are dead," said David Setton, a sixth-year physics and astronomy Ph.D. student in the Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences. Читать дальше...

Massive stars' blasts hitting Orion's sword mapped in unprecedented detail

Spacedaily.com 

Maunakea HI (SPX) Sep 07, 2022 - Astronomers using W. M. Keck Observatory on Hawaii Island have captured from Maunakea the most detailed and complete images ever taken of the zone where the famed constellation of Orion gets zapped with ultraviolet (UV) radiation from massive young stars.

This irradiated neutral zone, called a Photo-Dissociation Region (PDR), is located in the Orion Bar within the Orion Nebula, an active star-forming site found in the middle of the "sword" hanging from Orion's "belt." When viewed with the naked eye... Читать дальше...

ALMA witnesses deadly star-slinging tug-of-war between merging galaxies

Spacedaily.com 

Charlottesville VA (SPX) Sep 06, 2022 - While observing a newly-dormant galaxy using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), scientists discovered that it had stopped forming stars not because it had used up all of its gas but because most of its star-forming fuel had been thrown out of the system as it merged with another galaxy. The result is a first for ALMA scientists. What's more, if proven common, the results could change the way scientists think about galaxy mergers and deaths. Читать дальше...

Far-infrared detector KID reaches highest possible sensitivity

Spacedaily.com 

Leiden, Netherlands (SPX) Sep 07, 2022 - Compared to most other wavelengths, astronomy has a blind spot in the area of far-infrared radiation. A far-infrared space telescope can only utilize its full sensitivity with an actively cooled mirror below 4 Kelvin (-269 C). Such a telescope doesn't exist yet, which is why there has been little worldwide investment in the development of corresponding detectors.

In 2004, SRON decided to break this vicious circle and invest in the development of Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KIDs). Читать дальше...

AI that can learn the patterns of human language

Spacedaily.com 

Boston MA (SPX) Sep 01, 2022 - Human languages are notoriously complex, and linguists have long thought it would be impossible to teach a machine how to analyze speech sounds and word structures in the way human investigators do.

But researchers at MIT, Cornell University, and McGill University have taken a step in this direction. They have demonstrated an artificial intelligence system that can learn the rules and patterns of human languages on its own.
