AI Reveals Milky Way’s Black Hole Spins Near Top Speed

AI has helped astronomers crack open some of the universe s best-kept secrets by analyzing massive datasets about black holes. Using over 12 million simulations powered by high-throughput computing, scientists discovered that the Milky Way’s central black hole is spinning at nearly maximum speed. Not only did this redefine theories about black hole behavior, but it also showed that the emission is driven by hot electrons in the disk, not jets, challenging long-standing models.

Passive cooling breakthrough could slash data center energy use

UC San Diego engineers have created a passive evaporative cooling membrane that could dramatically slash energy use in data centers. As demand for AI and cloud computing soars, traditional cooling systems struggle to keep up efficiently. This innovative fiber membrane uses capillary action to evaporate liquid and draw heat away without fans or pumps. It performs with record-breaking heat flux and is stable under high-stress operation.

This quantum sensor tracks 3D movement without GPS

Physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have created a groundbreaking quantum device that can measure 3D acceleration using ultracold atoms, something once thought nearly impossible. By chilling rubidium atoms to near absolute zero and splitting them into quantum superpositions, the team has built a compact atom interferometer guided by AI to decode acceleration patterns. While the sensor still lags behind traditional GPS and accelerometers, it’s poised to revolutionize navigation for vehicles like submarines or spacecraft potentially offering a timeless, atomic-based alternative to aging electronics.

More Steganography!, (Sat, Jun 14th)

I spotted another interesting file that uses, once again, steganography. It seems to be a trend (see one of my previous diaries[1]). The file is an malicious Excel sheet called blcopy.xls. Office documents are rare these days because Microsoft improved the rules to allow automatic macro execution[2]. But it does not mean that Office documents can't execute malicious code. In the sample I found (SHA256:c92c761a4c5c3f44e914d6654a678953d56d4d3a2329433afe1710b59c9acd3a), there are other embedded XLS sheets:
