Taurid Meteor Stream Unlikely to Contain Dangerous Asteroids, New Study Suggests

The
Taurid

Meteoroid
Complex,
once
feared
for
possibly
hiding
large,
civilisation-destroying
asteroids,
has
been
found
to
be
less
threatening
than
originally
believed.
Quanzhi
Ye,
an

astronomer
at
the
University
of
Maryland,
and
his
team
conducted
an
extensive
survey
using
the
Zwicky
Transient
Facility
at
California’s
Palomar
Observatory.
Their
findings
suggest
the
risk
of
being
struck
by
a
large
asteroid
within
this
debris
stream
is
significantly
lower
than
previously
thought.
Ye
emphasised
this
is
promising
news
for
planetary
defence,
as
initial
concerns
were
higher.

What
is
the
Taurid
Meteoroid
Complex?

The
Taurid
Complex
is
a
vast
stream
of
dust,
rocks,
comets,
and

asteroids
left
behind
by
Comet
2P/Encke,
a
short-period
comet
that
completes
its
orbit
around
the
sun
every
3.3
years.
This
debris
field
is
responsible
for

meteor
showers,
particularly
the
Southern
Taurids
on
November
5
and
the
Northern
Taurids
on
November
12.
Although
most
particles
in
these
showers
are
small,
there
were
fears
that
larger,
undiscovered
objects
could
pose
a
serious
threat.

Reduced
Threat
of
Large
Asteroids

Ye’s
team,
however,
concluded
that
only
around
nine
to
14
kilometre-sized
objects
exist
within
the
Taurid
Complex.
These
findings
challenge
previous
concerns
that
the
stream
could
hide
objects
capable
of
causing
global
destruction.
The
origin
of
the
Taurid
Complex
remains
debated,
with

studies
indicating
a
possible
break-up
of
a
larger
comet
thousands
of
years
ago.

Conclusion:
Taurid
Complex
and
Planetary
Defence

Although
Ye’s
findings
are
reassuring,
he
urges
that
vigilance
is
still
necessary.
While
this
particular
debris
stream
may
not
harbour
major
threats,
the
risk
of
asteroid
impacts
remains
a
valid
concern
for
Earth.
Nonetheless,
for
now,
the
Taurid
Complex
doesn’t
seem
to
hold
any
hidden
dangers,
and
any
objects
present
are
on
well-tracked
orbits
that
do
not
currently
threaten
our
planet.

MIT Advances Active Electronics With 3D-Printed, Semiconductor-Free Logic Gates

Researchers
at
the
Massachusetts
Institute
of
Technology
(MIT)
have
made
a
groundbreaking
advancement
in
3D
printing
active
electronics
without
the
need
for
traditional

semiconductor
materials.
This
breakthrough
involves
creating
3D-printed
logic
gates,
fundamental
components
used
in
processing
tasks
within
electronic
devices.
Instead
of
relying
on
conventional
manufacturing
processes,
these
logic
gates
were
produced
using
standard
3D
printing
techniques
and
a
biodegradable
polymer.
This
step
brings
the
concept
of
fully
3D-printed
electronics
closer
to
reality,
offering
exciting
possibilities
for
accessible
and
decentralised
electronics
production.

Semiconductor-Free
Logic
Gates

MIT’s
research
team,
led
by
Luis
Fernando
Velásquez-García
from
the
Microsystems

Technology
Laboratories,
has
developed
logic
gates
using
a
copper-doped
polymer,
avoiding
the
use
of
traditional
semiconductors
like
silicon.
These
gates
perform
basic
switching
operations,
similar
to
how
silicon-based
transistors
function
in
everyday
electronics.
While
these
3D-printed
components
are
not
yet
on
par
with
silicon

transistors
in
terms
of
performance,
they
can
be
effectively
used
for
less
complex
operations,
such
as
controlling
the
speed
of
a
motor.

The
innovation
lies
in
the
ability
to
3D
print
these
devices
using
inexpensive,
eco-friendly
materials,
potentially
allowing
electronics
to
be
manufactured
in
a
more
sustainable
and
affordable
manner.
The
idea
is
to
democratise
production,
enabling
individuals,
businesses,
and
small
labs
to
print
their
own
devices.

The
Future
of
Fully
Printed
Electronics

Despite
the
current
limitations,
such
as
the
inability
to
miniaturise
these
components
to
the
nanoscale
level
of
traditional
transistors,
the
potential
of
3D-printed
logic
gates
is
immense.
MIT’s
research
team
is
already

exploring
further
developments
to
create
more
complex
circuits
and
eventually
fully
functional
3D-printed
devices.

This
technology,
if
perfected,
could
revolutionise
the
way
electronic
devices
are
manufactured,
making
it
possible
to
print
active
devices
without
the
need
for
expensive,
large-scale
facilities.
The
implications
for
industries
ranging
from
consumer
electronics
to
healthcare
and
beyond
could
be
vast,
as
this
innovation
brings
down
the
cost
and
complexity
of
device
production.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition Confirmed to Launch in South Korea on October 21


Samsung
has
confirmed
the
launch
of
an
upcoming
Galaxy
device
in
its
home
country
of
South
Korea
next
week.
While
details
remain
unknown,
the
upcoming
unveiling
is
widely
speculated
to
be
of
the
purported

Samsung
Galaxy
Z
Fold
6
Special
Edition,
which
has
been
rumoured
to
be
in
development
for
some
time.
Notably,
this
development
builds
upon
recent
leaks
that
suggested
the
purported
handset
may
feature
a
thinner
design
and
bigger
displays
compared
to
the
standard
model.

Samsung
Galaxy
Z
Fold
6
Special
Edition
Launch
Date

In
a
newsroom

post,
Samsung
South
Korea
announced
that
it
will
showcase
a
new
Galaxy
device
on
October
21.
The
device
is
expected
to
be
the
Galaxy
Z
Fold
6
Special
Edition.
A
teaser
video
has
also
been
posted,
but
doesn’t
show
the
device.
The
company
did
not
reveal
any
details
about
the
purported
device,
however
recent
reports
hint
at
a
redesigned
camera
module
which
may
be
stacked
in
a
rectangular
layout
instead
of
the
pill-shaped
unit
on
the
standard

Galaxy
Z
Fold
6.

Furthermore,
the
foldable
smartphone

could
have
a
thickness
of
10.6mm
when
folded,
compared
to
the
Galaxy
Z
Fold
6’s
12.1mm
thickness
—
translating
into
a
difference
of
just
1.5mm.
It
is
said
to
have
S
Pen
support
and
a
titanium
frame.

In
terms
of
optics,
the
purported
Samsung
Galaxy
Z
Fold
6
Special
Edition
may
sport
a
200-megapixel
primary
camera.
It
is
also
reported
to
be
equipped
with
marginally
bigger
displays,
with
a
claimed
8-inch
internal
and
6.5-inch
outer
display.
For
reference,
the
standard
model
is
equipped
with
a
6.3-inch
internal
and
7.60-inch
external
screen.

However,
unlike
the
standard
Galaxy
Z
Fold
6
which
is
globally
available,
the
special
edition
variant
launched
by
the
South
Korean
technology
conglomerate
is
expected
to
have
limited
availability.
Reports
suggest
will
only
launch
in
two
markets:
China
and
South
Korea.
The
foldable
smartphone
is
tipped
to
first
debut
on
September
25
in
South
Korea
–
the
company’s
home
base.
This
launch
is
said
to
be
followed
by
its
unveiling
in
China
shortly
after.

The
production
numbers
are
likely
to
remain
limited
too,
with
only
4
to
5
lakh
units
of
the
Samsung
Galaxy
Z
Fold
6
Special
Edition
expected
to
be
produced.

art.
While
even
the

best
TVs
can’t
quite
match
the
experience
of
seeing
an
original
artwork
in
place
–
Van
Gogh’s
The
Starry
Night
is
available
with
massive
zoom
levels

on
the
MoMA
website,
btu
I’m
told
that
it’s
still
not
as
breathtaking
as
being
up
close
with
the
original
–
the
combination
of
a
QLED
display,

4K
resolution
and
anti-reflective
display
is
as
good
as
you
can
get
if
New
York
isn’t
convenient
to
you.

The
arrival
of
the
artworks
from
MoMA
is
significant
for
another
reason:
until
now
the
majority
of
artworks
available
for
The
Frame
were
public
domain,
either
because
they
were
so
old
their
copyright
had
expired
or
in
rarer
cases,
because
the
artist
had
given
away
their
copyright.

That
inevitably
meant
the
catalog
was
skewed
towards
older
works
of
art,
and
while
they’re
of
course
valuable
too
it
did
mean
that
the
choice
of
modern
art
was
a
little
limited.
So
it’ll
be
nice
to
see
the
MoMA
collection
take
its
place
alongside
other
modern
works
by
artists
such
as

Keith
Haring,

Jen
Stark
and

Shinique
Smith.

Riot Games Lays Off League of Legends Developers in Second Round of Job Cuts


Riot
Games
is
laying
off
staff
for
the
second
time
this
year,
the
studio
confirmed
Tuesday.
The
latest
round
of
cuts
will
affect
the
PC
development
team
behind
Riot’s
massively
popular
MOBA
title
League
of
Legends.
Riot
said
the
layoffs
were
part
of
larger
changes
to
its
teams
that
would
ensure
long-term
growth
and
improvement
of
League.
The
affected
employees
will
receive
a
severance
package,
the
studio
said.

Riot
Games
Cuts
More
Jobs

In
its
announcement,
Riot
Games
said
that
the
decision
to
eliminate
roles
wasn’t
taken
to
“save
money,”
and
the
League
of
Legends
team
will
eventually
grow
in
size.

“As
part
of
these
changes,
we’ve
made
the
tough
decision
to
eliminate
some
roles.
This
isn’t
about
reducing
headcount
to
save
money—it’s
about
making
sure
we
have
the
right
expertise
so
that
League
continues
to
be
great
for
another
15
years
and
beyond,”
Riot
Games
co-founder
Marc
Merrill
said
in
a
post
on
X
Tuesday.
“While
team
effectiveness
is
more
important
than
team
size,
the
League
team
will
eventually
be
even
larger
than
it
is
today
as
we
develop
the
next
phase
of
League,”
he
added.

Riot
did
not
confirm
the
number
of
staffers
affected
by
the
latest
round
of
layoffs
in
its
announcement,
but
a
studio
spokesperson

confirmed
to
Eurogamer
that
32
employees,
including
27
roles
on
the
League
of
Legends
team
and
an
additional
five
roles
in
publishing,
will
be
impacted.

Laid
off
employees
will
be
provided
with
a
severance
package,
that
includes
a
minimum
of
six
months’
pay,
annual
bonus,
job
placement
assistance,
health
coverage,
and
more,
Merrill
said
in
his
post.

According
to
the
Riot
co-founder,
the
studio
was
working
on
the
“next
phase”
of
League
of
Legends
and
would
share
more
about
its
“ambitious
plans”
for
the
game
in
the
future.

This
is
the
second
round
of
layoffs
to
hit
Riot
Games
this
year.
In
January,
the
studio

laid
off
530
employees
––
about
11
percent
of
its
global
workforce.
Teams
outside
of
core
development
absorbed
the
largest
impact
from
the
layoffs.

“Today,
we’re
a
company
without
a
sharp
enough
focus,
and
simply
put,
we
have
too
many
things
underway.
Some
of
the
significant
investments
we’ve
made
aren’t
paying
off
the
way
we
expected
them
to.
Our
costs
have
grown
to
the
point
where
they’re
unsustainable,”
Riot
Games
CEO
Dylan
Jadeja
had
said
in
a
letter
to
employees
at
the
time.
