Federal agents shot and killed a 37-year-old Minneapolis resident, Alex Jeffrey Pretti, at about 9 a.m. Central time on Saturday morning. A video shared with The New York Times by a witness and her ...

Simulation of an initially uniform beam of electrons & positrons interacting with a plasma. As the beam travels through the background plasma, the positrons (red) become focused while the electrons ...

PythoC lets you use Python as a C code generator, but with more features and flexibility than Cython provides. Here’s a first look at the new C code generator for Python. Python and C share more than ...

We’re used to seeing ever greater particle accelerators — colossal machines sprawling across landscapes, built to reveal the smallest details of the universe. Think of the Large Hadron Collider and ...

"By reproducing relativistic plasma conditions in the lab, we can measure processes that shape the evolution of cosmic jets and better understand the origin of magnetic fields in intergalactic space." ...

Recently, a friend asked me a question that's been floating around every boardroom and business school: "With AI writing code, does programming still matter?" It's a fair question. Generative AI can ...

Introduction: The advantage of ion beam radiotherapy for cancer lies in its low dose proximal and distal to the tumor, owed to an energy-dependent depth-dose profile, the Bragg-peak. However, ...

A chain of plasmoids is created on the equatorial plane along the current sheet, where the particle density (left part) is higher. Here, magnetic reconnection takes place, accelerating particles to ...

Scientists have simulated how M87*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy M87, powers its immense particle jet. The Frankfurt team’s FPIC code shows that magnetic reconnection, where ...

A hundred years before the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration released the first image of a black hole in 2019—located at the heart of the galaxy M87—astronomer Heber Curtis had already discovered ...
