FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — Astronomers at Lowell Observatory have unveiled one of the most massive binary star systems ever discovered in the Milky Way, providing unprecedented insight into the lives and deaths of giant stars. The system, known as NGC 3603-A1, lies within a spectacular star cluster 25,000 light-years from Earth. Using previously unpublished Hubble Space Telescope (HST) data alongside new high-precision observations, researchers measured the system’s properties with unmatched accuracy. Their results will be published in The Astrophysical Journal. A Pair of Stellar Heavyweights NGC 3603-A1 consists of two colossal stars orbiting each other once every 3.8 days. The larger…

Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. has set a new benchmark in automotive safety with its flagship TIGGO9 SUV, which successfully passed a rigorous head-on crash test in South Africa. Conducted on August 20, the test involved two TIGGO9 models colliding at 50 km/h with a fifty percent offset, showcasing the vehicle’s advanced engineering and commitment to passenger protection. Proven Structural Resilience Despite the high-impact collision, both TIGGO9 cabins remained intact, with no deformation of the A, B, or C pillars. The SUVs’ 85% high-strength steel body — including 21% hot-formed steel in key areas — absorbed and dissipated crash energy effectively.…

Clarkson University researchers have unveiled a groundbreaking tool designed to address one of modern computing’s biggest challenges — overheating in microprocessors. The software, Thermal Analysis of Semiconductor Chips (TASChips), provides real-time, high-performance thermal simulations to optimize chip performance, energy efficiency, and durability. Tackling the Heat Challenge in Computing From smartphones and gaming consoles to advanced AI systems and massive data centers, today’s microprocessors generate immense heat. Excessive temperatures not only degrade performance but also shorten hardware lifespan and increase energy consumption. Clarkson’s TASChips aims to change that by allowing engineers to accurately pinpoint hotspots inside chips before failures occur. Features…
