New Worlds Rise in the Harshest Corners of the Galaxy

A new study led by Southwest Research Institute's Dr. Keiichi Ogasawara indicates that helium pickup ions are a wellspring of solar energetic particles. These high-energy accelerated particles travel at speeds twice as fast as during times of quiet solar activity. But when they are boosted by solar shocks, such as coronal mass ejections, they can penetrate spacecraft and spacesuits, posing a radiation hazard to astronauts.

How Gut Feelings Help Us Make Morally Right Decisions

This image, taken with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), shows the molecular gas content of two galaxies involved in a cosmic collision. The one on the right hosts a quasar –– a supermassive black hole that is accreting material from its surroundings and releasing intense radiation directly into the other galaxy.

Astronomers Capture a Cosmic Joust Between Two Colliding Galaxies

Hierarchical architecture of El Agente Q. Inter-agent communication is illustrated with black arrows, where solid arrows represent task delegation from higher-level agents, and dotted arrows indicate feedback and reporting from lower-level agents. The agents can be broadly categorized into three functional modules- the geometry module (coral), the quantum calculation module (blue), and the file I/O module (yellow). Each module can be thought of as a department in a complex organization with its own manager, employees, and tools (violet). For example, the geometry generation agent gets to decide if the system should be handled by the organometallic complexes agent or Perplexity AI search, and decide the charge and multiplicity of the system.
