Kronos Fusion Energy Planning to Build First Ever National Fusion Energy Space Center – GlobeNewswire

March 18, 2022 | Author: admin

AUSTIN, Texas, March 17, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kronos Fusion Energy Defense Systems (KFEDS) has developed advanced algorithms that allow the detailed simulation of plasma and components within a fusion generator, building on recent advances in this emerging technology.KFEDSis now preparing to take this technology out of the lab and into space.

Brigadier General (Ret) Paul E. Owen, Founding Partner and CEO of KFEDS, stated that, "Not since the opening stages of the space race, when mankind first entered space, and later landed on the moon, have we faced such rapid advances in technology. These advances give us the ability to truly explore beyond our solar system, to efficiently deliver interplanetary transport of personal material and equipment and to deliver unmanned expeditions to the far reaches of our solar system with sufficient payload and power to drive unprecedented levels of scientific discovery."

To this end,KFEDSis actively reviewing sites around the country where it plans to build America's first National Fusion Energy Space Center. This center will serve as a commercial development and testing site while providing over 1,000 new jobs, bringing together a team of civil and mechanical engineers, scientists, IT specialists and many others, with the unified goal of delivering the next generation of spacecraft propulsion and energy supply. KFEDS plans to identify a final location this year and break ground in early 2023 on this critical facility.

Fusion Energy represents a true evolution in space exploration, enabling a new era of rapid space travel that will revolutionize deep space exploration, interplanetary travel and sustainability of extra-terrestrial surface and space operations. KFEDS ability, through advanced modeling and simulation, to developsignificantly more efficient and powerful fusion generator designs, capable of being built in a rapidly accelerated time frame, take full advantage of U.S. dominance in the integrated fields of Artificial Intelligence, Neural Networks, Deep Learning, Blockchain Security, and Data Mining. TheNational Fusion Energy Space Center is the natural culmination of many years of research and development, allowing for these advanced concepts to now be built, tried, tested and, eventually, integrated into the space programs of tomorrow.

For over 50 years, the United States has remained the undisputed leader in the exploration and understanding of our solar system and beyond. The systems that will be developed at the National Fusion Energy Space Center hold the key to ensuring that it remains so for the next 50 years and beyond.

Schrdingers cat and the worry of a quantum apocalypse ahead – Mint

March 18, 2022 | Author: admin

Let me try distracting you from war and disease with a joke. Schrdinger takes his cat to the vet for a check-up. The vet comes back 10 minutes later and says, Well, I have good news and bad news.. If you snickered at this, you know a bit about the Schrdingers Cat paradox, and therefore perhaps a little bit about quantum physics. For those who did not, the paradox explains the seeming contradiction between what we see with our naked eye and what quantum theory tells us actually exists in its microscopic state. The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics states that a particle exists in all states at once until observed. Schrdingers cat is in a box, and could be alive or dead. But till the box is opened, you would not be able to know. Thus, the vets quandary.

This principle, among others, powers one of the most exciting and bleeding- edge advances in technology: Quantum computing. I have written about it before in Mint, but to summarize: Our current powerful computers follow the principles of the Turing machine, where information is encoded in bits (1 and 0) and a series of operations (and, or, not, etc) make these bits compute. A quantum computer uses qubits or the quantum version of bits; a qubit is not permanently a 0 or 1, but it can be both at the same time. Only at the end of the computation (when the box is opened), can you know whether its 0 or 1. During the computation process, its exact state is indeterminate and can contain bits of both. If this whooshed over your head, console yourself with what Bill Gates said in a 2017 interview: I know a lot of physics and a lot of math. But the one place where they put up slides and it is hieroglyphics, its quantum."

A quantum computer can exploit these properties of quantum physics to perform certain calculations far more efficiently and faster than any computer or supercomputer, inspiring the likes of Microsoft, IBM and Google to work feverishly on this form of computing. This is especially urgent because Moores Law is flattening but our problems are becoming more complex: climate change, artificial general intelligence, drug personalization. While this is super exciting, a recent BBC article (bbc.in/3pA7pIY ) about the quantum apocalypse made me pause.

As a hidden force behind e-commerce, online banking and trading, crypto trading, social networking and internet messaging, almost everything we do involves encryption. Most encryption uses public and private keys, and that in turn uses arcane mathematical calculations involving prime numbers. Using a Turing computer to crack this encryption is virtually impossible. It would take thousands of years. However, a quantum computer can potentially do this in mere seconds. Every minute, huge amounts of encrypted data is harvested without our knowledge and stored in vast data banks, waiting for the day that it can finally be decrypted. Today, there is nothing data thieves can do with this treasure trove, but once a functioning quantum computer appears that will be able to break that encryption... it can almost instantly create the ability for whoevers developed it to clear bank accounts, to completely shut down government defence systemsBitcoin wallets will be drained." says lyas Khan, chief executive of Quantinuum. Moreover, current encryption methods will be useless, halting online banking transactions, e-commerce, social media interactions, everything. The security of every public blockchain will be under threat from quantum computing power, since it relies on heavy duty cryptography; it was no coincidence that the price of Bitcoin dropped sharply the day Google made its announcement of achieving quantum supremacy a year ago. It was a portent of the quantum apocalypse.

The world is gearing up for this post-quantum world. Google, Microsoft, Intel and IBM are working on solutions. So are specialist startups like Post-Quantum and Quantinuum. The UK government claims that all its top-secret data is already post-quantum. The BBC talks of a beauty parade taking place to establish a standardised defence strategy that will protect industry, government, academia and critical national infrastructure against the perils of the quantum apocalypse." New cryptographic methods like quantum key distribution are being developed, by which even if the message gets intercepted, no one can read it, much like the cat.

All this will not be cheap, nor will it be easy. But we have no choicemost of our world runs digitally now and its wheels need to be kept humming. To do that, we need to think out of the box.

Eugene N. Parker, 94, Dies; Predicted the Existence of Solar Wind – The New York Times

March 18, 2022 | Author: admin

Dr. Parker, he said, was happy when people pointed out a mistake in his calculations but not pleased when people accepted prevalent scientific assumptions without question.

He had little patience for Its well known that Dr. Turner said.

Even though Dr. Chandrasekhar, a future Nobel laureate, disagreed with Dr. Parkers conclusions, he overruled the reviewers, and the paper was published.

Four years later, Dr. Parker was vindicated when Mariner 2, a NASA spacecraft en route to Venus, observed energetic particles streaming through interplanetary space exactly what he had predicted.

When Dr. Zurbuchen joined NASA in 2016, the agency had been working for years on a mission called Solar Probe Plus, which was to swoop close to the sun repeatedly. Dr. Zurbuchen said he disliked the name Solar Probe Plus and wrote to the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine asking it to suggest a person to name the mission after.

The unequivocal response: Eugene Parker.

NASA had never before named a spacecraft after a living person. But Dr. Zurbuchen, who had met Dr. Parker years earlier, said he did not have much trouble getting Robert Lightfoot, the acting administrator of NASA at the time, to approve the change in 2017. Dr. Zurbuchen then called Dr. Parker to ask if that would be all right with him. He said, Absolutely. It will be my honor, Dr. Zurbuchen recalled.

Dr. Parker later said he was surprised that NASA had asked for his permission.

A few months afterward, Dr. Parker went to visit the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Maryland, where the spacecraft was built and tested. Dr. Fox, then project scientist for the mission, recalled saying, Parker, meet Parker.

The next year, Dr. Parker and his family traveled to Florida to watch the launch of his namesake spacecraft.

Klarman fellow blends physics and math to explore string theory | Cornell Chronicle – Cornell Chronicle

March 18, 2022 | Author: admin

What does a six-dimensional figure look like? Theoretical physicist Richard Nally cant show you exactly, but he does have a sculpture a pink shape the size of a grapefruit that can help you imagine a piece of one.

Its called a K3 surface, said Nally, a Klarman Fellow in physics in the College of Arts and Sciences (A&S). Of course, we cant make sculptures of things that live in six dimensions, but you can take little slices of them to see what they look like. This is a slice of a four-dimensional shape that is really important to the history and practice of string theory.

Researchers have known about the shapes in string theory for decades, Nally said. But in the past few years, he and others have started to take the shapes seriously as number theoretic objects and to study them in that framework. Nally will spend his three-year Klarman Postdoctoral Fellowship seeking to understand the mathematical structures at the root of gravity and quantum mechanics.

We want to find a nice shape that lets us keep the solution to quantum gravity, while getting the features such as an expanding universe and only having four dimensions that we see in the world around us, he said.

Jon Lehrer Dance Company To Present The World Premiere of THROUGH THE STORM, May 6 – Broadway World

March 18, 2022 | Author: admin

The CUNY Dance Initiative and the Gerald W. Lynch Theater at John Jay College announce a performance by Jon Lehrer Dance Company featuring the world premiere of Through The Storm, a full company work set to an original score by composer Zeno Pittarelli.

The program will include additional works, including four New York City premieres. The performance will take place on Friday, May 6, 2022 at 7pm at The Gerald W. Lynch Theater, John Jay College, 524 W 59th St, New York, NY. Tickets are $35 and are available at http://www.jonlehrerdance.com.

Jon Lehrer Dance Company (JLDC)'s trademark artistic, athletic, and accessible style is known for striking the elusive balance between art and entertainment. Taking the energy and chaos of a storm as inspiration, Through The Storm represents the past two years of struggle, hardship, but most of all the creativity and perseverance artists held on to throughout the pandemic. Visually stunning, evocative, and physically impressive, Through The Storm will be performed both internationally and nationally as part of JLDC's 22/23 season following the premiere. The program also highlights the range of JLDC's repertory with four New York City premieres (full details below).

JLDC is freshly off a successful four-week European tour where the company "captivated the audience with its grandiose choreography and the ensemble's top dance performance without fail. Dynamism, elegance, acrobatics, power and an absolute passion for dance - these are the attributes that could be used to describe the performance." (Zollern-Alb Kurier - Balingen, Germany)

Program

"Through The Storm" (2022) - world premiere

A full company work set to an original score by Zeno Pittarelli.

"Sum of Us" (2021) - New York premiere

An upbeat showcase for the dancers as individuals and as a strong, cohesive group.

"Murmur" (2012) - New York premiere

A lyrically infused quartet based on the phenomenon of murmuration and quantum entanglement.

"Pulp" (2016) - New York premiere

Inspired by the silent films of Buster Keaton and Scooby-Doo cartoons, this zany romp highlights the company's theatrical comedic side.

"Hearth" (2010) - New York premiere

Performed by JLDC Apprentices, this work was inspired by the many strong, caring, and remarkable women in Jon Lehrer's life.

"Solstice"(2019)

A joyous, uplifting tribute to the first day of Summer, commissioned by Artpark in Lewiston, NY for their "Summer Solstice Celebration."

Jon Lehrer Dance Company (JLDC) began in 2007 in Buffalo, NY and has been based in NYC since 2019. Under Jon Lehrer's artistic direction, the company showcases his unique choreography and definitive style. Jon's extensive background in both the modern and jazz dance idioms fosters choreography that is organic, artistic, accessible and often humorous, reflecting life experience and the human condition. Dance Magazine praised "the company took the house not so much by storm as by quantum physics," and Galerie Ortenau in Offenburg, Germany declares, "Dynamic, Powerful, Elegant - brings an absolute passion for the dance." The company was brought to Russia from 2012-2016 sponsored by the US State Department in order to, as they said, "bring the best in American modern dance to the people of Russia." JLDC tours worldwide, to Europe every other year, and made their 4th trip in January 2022 for another world premiere performance.

JLDC's expressive technique and style is a combination of modern, jazz, and physics. It is based on three main elements of movement - Circularity, 3-Dimensionality, and Momentum, which combine to create a form that is best described as "Organically Athletic." Jon Lehrer Dance Company is dedicated to maintaining the impact of dance through performance, education, outreach, community involvement, and collaboration. The professional dancers of JLDC work collaboratively towards a common creative goal, while maintaining and developing their own artistic voice to bring edge-of-your-seat excitement to audiences. JLDC operates with integrity at all levels and respects and honors ideas from constituent groups including dancers, directors, and the public. Jon Lehrer Dance Company actively promotes and values equity, diversity, inclusion, and anti-racism on an institutional and individual level. http://www.jonlehrerdance.com

Jon Lehrer (Founder & Artistic Director of JLDC), who was raised in Queens, New York, took his very first dance class on a dare at age 19 at the University at Buffalo. While dating a dancer, Jon teased her about how easy it must be to get an A in a dance class. The girl dared Jon to try a beginning level modern dance class and his life was changed. Jon ultimately received his BFA in Dance from the University at Buffalo.

As a professional, Jon danced with the Erick Hawkins Dance Company, Paul Sanasardo, John Passafiume Dancers, in Merv Griffin's "Funderful" in Atlantic City, NJ, and the Radio City Rockettes Christmas Spectacular. In 1997, Jon was hired by Giordano Dance Chicago, the world's preeminent jazz dance company. After only three years he was promoted to Rehearsal Director and became the Associate Director two years later. During his ten years with Giordano, Jon also became the resident choreographer, creating seven original works on the company that received rave reviews around the world.

Jon has choreographed for several professional dance companies and universities all over the country. He teaches master classes throughout the U.S. and around the world, having been on faculty at Dance Masters of America, Jazz Dance World Congress, Dance Teacher Summer Conference, Chicago National Association of Dance Masters (CNADM), Chautauqua Institution, Florida Dance Educators Organization, and Florida Dance Masters to name a few. Jon has received many awards and honors, including the University at Buffalo Zodiaque Dance Company Distinguished Alumni Award, CNADM's Artistic Achievement Award, University at Buffalo College of Arts and Sciences Distinguished Alumni Award, and the "Rising Star" SPARK Award for being an integral part of Buffalo's thriving arts and cultural community.

Computer scientist identifies JavaScript vulnerability in thousands of websites – The Hub at Johns Hopkins

March 18, 2022 | Author: admin

ByCatherine Graham

Millions of developers use JavaScript to build websites and mobile apps, making it one of the most popular programming languages in the world. But according to Johns Hopkins researchers, thousands of JavaScript websites are vulnerable to a security flaw that could result in manipulating the site's URL or stealing a user's profile information.

Known as prototype pollution, the flaw allows attackers to modify, or "pollute," a prototype, which is a built-in property of a JavaScript object. An attacker who manages to alter a JavaScript object prototype can execute a variety of malicious actions.

With a framework they call ProbeTheProto, researchers from the Johns Hopkins Information Security Institute analyzed one million websites running on JavaScript and found that more than 2,700 websitessome of them the most visited in the worldhad multiple flaws that could expose them to prototype pollution.

Ten of the sites were among the top 1,000 most visited websites of the year, including Weebly.com, CNET.com, and McKinsey.com.

Yinzhi Cao

Assistant professor of computer science

"Only recently have researchers started looking closely at prototype pollution and realizing it's a matter of great concern," said cybersecurity expert Yinzhi Cao, an assistant professor of computer science in the Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering. "Many in the developer community may not be aware that prototype pollution vulnerabilities can have severe consequences."

In Javascript, an object is a collection of related data or functionality; for example, a user account object may contain such data as usernames, passwords, and e-mail addresses. Once an attacker makes a change to an object prototype, it will affect how the object works throughout the entire application and opens the door for more serious vulnerabilities, Cao adds.

He and his team set out to the study this snowball effect using dynamic taint analysis, a method in which inputs to the application are labeled with a special "tainted" marker and the researchers observe how the tainted data propagates through the program. If the marker is still there at the program's output, the researchers know that the application is vulnerable to exploitable input attacks that could lead to some unplanned action.

"Imagine a very long pipe in a big black box and I want to know whether Points A and B are connected. If they are, I can put some toxic liquid at Point A to attack Point B. What we do is to drop a bit of red dye in the water at Point A and then observe the water color at Point B. If I can see Point B is also red, I know A and B are connected and then we can launch attacks," Cao said.

The researchers identified three major input attacks that can be caused by prototype pollution: cross-site scripting (XSS), cookie manipulation, and URL manipulation. Such vulnerabilities on public websites provide ample opportunities for cyber criminals to hijack passwords and install malware, among other nefarious activities.

Cao says that researchers have a responsibility to report prototype pollution vulnerabilities to website owners and even recommend the best patch for their code. Thanks to Cao's team sounding the alarm, so far 293 vulnerabilities have already been xed by developers.

"Organizations don't even know these vulnerabilities exist. Our ProbeTheProto tool can automatically and accurately detect a wide range of potential attacks. And we've found that many developers are happy that we are helping them stay ahead of cybersecurity threats," Cao said.

Computer science graduate students Zifeng Kang and Song Li contributed to the research. The team members will present their paper "Probe the Proto: Measuring Client-Side Prototype Pollution Vulnerabilities of One Million Real-world Websites," at the Network & Distributed System Security Symposium April 24-28 in San Diego.

Capo math teacher named finalist in presidential awards program for the second time in two years – OCDE Newsroom

March 18, 2022 | Author: admin

For the second time in a little more than two years, a Capistrano Unified teacher has been named a state finalist in the prestigious Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching program.

Leslie Whitaker of Esencia Elementary School in Rancho Mission Viejo was among six outstanding math and science educators announced as honorees on Thursday by State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond.

Whitaker, who was also a finalist in 2020, was lauded as a math teacher on special assignment who worked with OCDE to provide professional development on cognitively guided instruction.

Enacted by Congress in 1983, the Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching or PAEMST are considered the highest honors bestowed by the federal government for K-12 science, technology, engineering, math and computer science teaching.

The program is administered by the National Science Foundation on behalf of The White Houses Office of Science and Technology Policy. Awards are presented in all 50 states, recognizing educators who have deep content knowledge and the ability to motivate students to be successful.

Each year, the president can present up to 108 awards, which alternate annually between primary and secondary teachers. To date, more than 5,200 teachers have been recognized.

Heres what the California Department of Education had to say about Capos Whitaker:

Leslie was a Math Teacher on Special Assignment in the Capistrano Unified School District and has worked with a team at the Orange County Department of Education to provide professional development in Cognitively Guided Instruction for transitional kindergarten through fifth grade teachers. A teacher for 22 years, Leslie has presented at multiple conferences, including California Mathematics Council South as well as the Cognitively Guided Instruction Biennial Conference in 2015. She also wrote Canvas third grade math lessons for Capistrano Unified School District distance learning and was a previous PAEMST California State Finalist in 2020.

Along with Whitaker, this years math finalists are Anamarie (Mia) Buljan of Fairview Elementary School in the Hayward Unified School District and Therisa Cash of the Casita Center for Technology, Science and Math, which is in the Vista Unified School District.

The science finalists are Jennifer Trochez of Gates Street Elementary in the Los Angeles Unified School District, Terri Serey of Orange Grove Middle School in the Hacienda La Puente Unified School District and Dr. Phuong Uzoff of Richmond Street Elementary in El Segundo Unified

These teachers have persevered through the challenges of the past year and are prime examples of excellence in the teaching of science, technology, engineering, and math to their students, State Superintendent Thurmond said in a news release. Their incredible efforts inspire STEM and computer science students to think creatively and critically in the classroom in preparation for the challenges of tomorrow.

The California Department of Education partners with the California Mathematics Council and the California Association of Science Educators to select nominees for the PAEMST program.

Applicants must demonstrate subject mastery, appropriate use of instructional methods and strategies, evidence of lifelong learning and leadership in education outside the classroom. Each candidate is also required to submit a 30-minute video lesson in support of their application.
