NASA’s SDO recorded the peak of the solar eclipse in space

NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) often views the sun as the primary contributor to space weather or radiation that impacts Earth. Recently, it recorded an eclipse of the sun in space.

On June 29, the Moon passes in front of the sun, producing a partial solar eclipse. During the 35-minute event, the Moon covered 67% of the sun, and lunar mountains were backlit by solar fire.

As reported on spaceweather.com, Patricio Leon of Santiago, Chile, took a closer look at the mountains and identified them. They are part of the Leibnitz and Doerfel mountain ranges near the Moon’s south pole:

DeepMind Simulates Matter on the Nanoscale With Artificial Intelligence

In a paper published by Science, DeepMind demonstrates how neural networks can improve approximation of the Density Functional (a method used to describe electron interactions in chemical systems). This illustrates deep learning’s promise in accurately simulating matter at the quantum mechanical level. Alongside the paper, DeepMind will open-source the code to provide a research foundation…

The quantum amplification of a fragile magnetic field realized for the first time

Quantum amplification can accurately measure a weak electromagnetic field. However, spin quantum amplification’s limitations include readout sensitivity, coherence time, and gaseous spin initialization. These obstacles must be removed to realize quantum amplification’s full potential. Researchers have proposed the idea of dark-state spin quantum amplification and conducted experiments in the mixed system of gaseous xenon and
