Scientists Unlock Quantum Control of Atomic Collisions at Warmer Temperatures
Scientists from the University of Warsaw and the Weizmann Institute of Science have demonstrated that atomic collisions can be controlled at temperatures beyond the ultracold regime. Previously, it was believed that quantum control weakens as kinetic energy increases. However, as per reports, unexpected order has been observed in rubidium-strontium...

NASA Confirms Asteroid 2024 YR4 Will Not Hit Earth, Risk Reduced to Zero
NASA has reassured the public that asteroid 2024 YR4 no longer poses any threat to Earth. Initially, the asteroid had a 1-in-32 chance of impact, making it a Level 3 risk on the Torino Scale. However, new observations have reduced the probability to zero. The asteroid will make close flybys in 2028 and 2032, providing scientists with an opportunity...

May 2024 Solar Storm Triggers Unusual Radiation Belts, Raising Space Safety Concerns
A significant solar storm in May 2024 led to the creation of two temporary radiation belts, detected by the CIRBE satellite in June. One belt contained high-energy electrons, while the other was rich in protons, a rare occurrence. While the electron belt dissipated in three months, the proton-dominated belt remains, potentially affecting space miss...

Asteroid 2024 PT5 Linked to Lunar Surface, Reveals Planetary Defense Insights
Asteroid 2024 PT5, sized like a school bus, passed Earth in January at 1.1 million miles. Research suggests it originated from the moon, ejected thousands of years ago by an impact. Spectral analysis matched it to Apollo 14 lunar rocks, ruling out artificial origins. This is the second known lunar asteroid after 469219 Kamo’oalewa. The study hint...

NASA's LEXI Mission Will Explore Earth’s Magnetic Shield from the Moon
NASA is preparing for the launch of the Lunar Environment Heliospheric X-ray Imager (LEXI) aboard Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost lander, scheduled for January 15. The mission will observe Earth’s magnetosphere, capturing X-ray images that reveal how the planet's magnetic shield reacts to solar wind. This project could improve predictions of geoma...

Semi-Dirac Fermions Found in ZrSiS: Quasiparticles with Directional Mass Behavior
Researchers at Penn State and Columbia University identified semi-Dirac fermions, quasiparticles theorized 16 years ago, in ZrSiS crystals. These particles are massless in one direction but have mass in another. The findings, published in Physical Review X, were made using magneto-optical spectroscopy at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory....

Solar 'Battle Zone' Could be Even Worse Than Solar Maximum, Experts Warn
Experts warn that the sun's next phase, the "battle zone," could result in increased geomagnetic activity, lasting until 2028. This period could bring heightened solar flares and coronal holes, which may cause disruptions to satellites in low-Earth orbit. Space weather experts, including Scott McIntosh from Lynker Space, have noted that this phase ...
