By Ethan Varian/Bay Area News Group A high-powered storm barreled into the Bay Area on Saturday morning, bringing treacherous winds and heavy rains that triggered flood advisories and power outages across the region. In the North Bay, one driver was killed and another suffered major injuries when two vehicles collided on Point Reyes Petaluma Road, […]

'Every one of them will be punished': Kherson hunts for traitors

When Jews celebrate Hanukah (this year December 18-25, 2022) I hope that both Jews and Muslims will also remember all oppressed religious communities, such as the Rohingya people of Myanmar, the Uighurs in China’s Xinjiang Province, and the brave Muslim woman of Iran who have suffered hundreds of martyrs: because Hanukah teaches the very important lesson that faith and hope in the long run overcome nasty politics and politicians.

Cam Thomas scored 21 of his career-high 33 points in the fourth quarter as the undermanned Brooklyn Nets rallied down the stretch for a 136-133 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Saturday night in Indianapolis. Playing their first back-to-back in nearly two weeks, the Nets were without stars Kevin Durant (rest) and Kyrie Irving (adductor). […]

Beijing [China], December 11 (ANI): Despite the election of Xi Jinping for an unprecedented third term, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) continues to face leadership challenges such as the test of long-term rule, reform and modernisation, revive the market economy and of the external environment, according to di Valerio Fabbri writing in Geopolitica.Info. The primary cause behind the loss of faith in Xi's leadership as w

North Sound [Antigua], December 11 (ANI): The 17-year-old all-rounder Freya Kemp, who made her debut for England in the summer, has been ruled out of the rest of the ongoing tour against West Indies. Due to back pain, Kemp missed all three of England's one-day international victories over West Indies, which they won 3-0. "England Women's all-rounder Freya Kemp has been ruled out of the rest of the West Indies series with

ROCKLIN, Calif. – The stresses of finals week around Jessup have come to an end, and with it, winter break has begun. But there was no break for the Warriors as they jumped back on the court Saturday evening to host their NorCal rivals from Menlo College.

Washington DC (UPI) Dec 9, 2021 - The British government is collaborating to build the world's first-ever space battery powered by the element Americium-241.

The country's National Nuclear Laboratory and the UK Space Agency made the announcement Friday.

Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Dec 06, 2022 - Studying an atomic clock on-board a spacecraft inside the orbit of Mercury and very near to the Sun might be the trick to uncovering the nature of dark matter, suggests a new study published in Nature Astronomy.

Dark matter makes up more than 80 per cent of mass in the universe, but it has so far evaded detection on Earth, despite decades of experimental efforts. A key component of these searches is an assumption about the local density of dark matter, which... Читать дальше...

Paris (AFP) Dec 7, 2022 - The James Webb Space Telescope lit up 2022 with dazzling images of the early universe after the Big Bang, heralding a new era of astronomy and untold revelations about the cosmos in years to come.

The most powerful observatory sent into space succeeds the Hubble telescope, which is still operating, and began transmitting its first cosmic images in July.

Los Alamos NM (SPX) Dec 08, 2022 - The standard view of gamma-ray bursts as a signature for different types of dying stars might need a rewrite. Recent astronomical observations, supported by theoretical modeling, reveal a new observational fingerprint of neutron-star mergers, which may shed light on the production of heavy elements throughout the universe.

"Astronomers have long believed that gamma-ray bursts fell into two categories: long-duration bursts from imploding stars and short-duration bursts from merging compact stellar objects... Читать дальше...

Birmingham UK (SPX) Dec 08, 2022 - A highly unusual blast of high-energy light from a nearby galaxy has been linked by scientists to a neutron star merger.

The event, detected in December 2021 by NASA's Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory and the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, was a gamma-ray burst - an immensely energetic explosion which can last from a few milliseconds to several hours.

Baltimore MD (SPX) Dec 09, 2022 - Aside from a tapestry of glittering stars, and the glow of the waxing and waning Moon, the nighttime sky looks inky black to the casual observer. But how dark is dark?

To find out, astronomers decided to sort through 200,000 images from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and made tens of thousands of measurements on these images to look for any residual background glow in the sky, in an ambitious project called SKYSURF. This would be any leftover light after subtracting the glow from planets... Читать дальше...

Pasadena CA (JPL) Dec 06, 2022 - Future planetary missions could explore in extremely cold temperatures that stymie existing spacecraft, thanks to a project under development at JPL.

When NASA returns to the Moon with Artemis, the agency and its partners will reach unexplored regions of the lunar surface around the South Pole, where it can get much colder at night than even on frigid Mars. Such surface conditions would be challenge for current spacecraft, which rely on energy-consuming heaters to stay warm. Читать дальше...

Boston MA (SPX) Dec 08, 2022 - The manufacturing industry (largely) welcomed artificial intelligence with open arms. Less of the dull, dirty, and dangerous? Say no more. Planning for mechanical assemblies still requires more than scratching out some sketches, of course - it's a complex conundrum that means dealing with arbitrary 3D shapes and highly constrained motion required for real-world assemblies.

Human engineers, understandably, need to jump in the ring and manually design assembly plans... Читать дальше...

Paris (AFP) Dec 7, 2022 - From "intelligent" vacuum cleaners and driverless cars to advanced techniques for diagnosing diseases, artificial intelligence has burrowed its way into every arena of modern life.

Its promoters reckon it is revolutionising human experience, but critics stress that the technology risks putting machines in charge of life-changing decisions.

Beijing (XNA) Dec 09, 2022 - Scientists from Saudi Arabia will soon have the opportunity to carry out an experiment aboard China's Tiangong space station that is expected to help with the design and production of high-efficiency solar cells.

According to an agreement signed in March 2021 by the Saudi Space Commission and China Manned Space Agency, the Saudi experiment will focus on studying the effects of cosmic rays on the performance of high-efficiency solar cells.
