- 1Physicist and Nobel laureate Vitaly Ginzburg remembered on birthday●October 4: Vitaly Ginzburg's birthday, a physicist and Nobel Prize laureate
October 4 marks the birthday of Vitaly Ginzburg, the Russian physicist and Nobel Prize laureate. Commemorations note his major contributions to physics, including work on superconductivity and the theory of electromagnetic wave propagation in plasma, as well as his role in the Soviet atomic project. Ginzburg, who died in 2009, remains a prominent figure in Russian science.
- 2Protons reach record energy riding moving laser waves▼Protons ride moving waves to reach record energy with long-pulse lasers
Researchers report that protons accelerated by surfing moving plasma waves generated with long-pulse lasers have reached record energies, marking an advance over conventional short-pulse laser acceleration techniques. The result, covered by science news outlets including Phys.org and EurekAlert, suggests a potential path toward more compact and efficient particle accelerators for research and medical applications.
- 3Generative art bot shares procedurally made space cloud●Look at this space cloud I made. # hashAmatic # plasma # cloud #☁️ # fractal # ProcGen # art # botArt
A piece of generative artwork depicting a plasma-like space cloud is being shared online, produced by a bot that creates fractal images through procedural generation. The creator invited people to look at the result, tagging it as bot art. It is a small but typical example of the ongoing interest in automated and algorithmic art communities.
- 4Artemis II crew face fiery atmospheric reentry test●Artemis II reentry and the risks of ‘riding a fireball through the atmosphere’
Attention is turning to the Artemis II mission's return to Earth, with coverage describing reentry as 'riding a fireball through the atmosphere.' The crewed flight around the Moon must survive extreme heat and plasma conditions as it plunges back through the atmosphere, a critical phase NASA has only tested once before with an uncrewed capsule.
- 5KDE turns 30 as Plasma 6.8 drops X11 for Wayland●KDE compie 30 anni e Plasma 6.8 segna un passaggio importante: X11 lascia la sessione desktop, mentre Wayland diventa il
The KDE community marks its 30th anniversary as Plasma 6.8 makes a landmark change: the X11 desktop session is removed, making Wayland the default and reference display protocol. Italian-language Linux users are highlighting the milestone, noting that fans of the classic KDE 3 era can still revisit it through the Klassik theme.
