Astronomers Directly Image Rare Hierarchical Quadruple System
HIP 81208 is the first binary stellar system with substellar companions around each stellar component ever found by direct imaging. Astronomers thought HIP 81208 was a system consisting of a massive central star (A, the central bright spot), a brown dwarf (B) circling around it, and a low-mass star (C) orbiting further away. However, Chomez
CERN Physicists Directly Observe Fundamental Phenomenon in Quantum Chromodynamics
In particle collider experiments, elementary particle interactions with large momentum transfer produce quarks and gluons (known as partons) whose evolution is governed by the strong force, as described by the theory of quantum chromodynamics. These partons subsequently emit further partons in a process that can be described as a parton shower, which culminates in the…
What to do when you can’t directly copy Time Machine backups
Apple It took Apple a few years following its initial rollout of the Apple Filing System (APFS) in macOS 10.13 High Sierra to mature the format enough to allow Time Machine to back files up to APFS-formatted drives. Previously, only the now-classic HFS+ filesystem worked; it still does. Apple created a new kind of APFS…

Google directly running Galaxy Z Fold/Flip 3 ads on its main YouTube channel
In recent years, the Android team has released partner videos with Samsung highlighting how the OS takes advantage of new hardware, like foldables. Google today released a curious trio of ads about its apps running on the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Flip 3. The most recent conversation-style video was published on August 30 and…
