# s-gst: l'ineffabile duplice meccanica delle onde di Alfven

<< i dati raccolti da MMS [NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission] hanno consentito di osservare due tipi diversi di onde di Alfven. Da una parte, quelle cosiddette “tipiche”, dove le particelle cariche (..) sono libere di correre nel solco fra una cresta e l’altra delle onde del campo magnetico (..). Dall’altra, le onde di Alfven cinetiche, che muovendosi lungo il plasma intrappolano alcuni degli elettroni, facendoli rimbalzare avanti e indietro come fra due muri, o fra due specchi >>

# s-acad: or at least not as robust as they should be ...

<< This is the conclusion of Rigor Mortis, a wide-ranging critique of the modern biomedical research ecosystem by science journalist Richard Harris. He describes how a growing number of claims over the past decade that many published research findings are false, or at least not as robust as they should be, has led to calls for change, and the birth of a new discipline of metascience. >>

# s-astro: to peer into a black hole

<< By connecting a global array of radio telescopes together to form the equivalent of a giant Earth-sized telescope – using a technique known as Very Long Baseline Interferometry and Earth-aperture synthesis – scientists will peer into the heart of our Milky Way galaxy where a black hole that is 4m times more massive than our sun – Sagittarius A* – lurks. >>
