🚀New paper out - We present Video-MSG (Multimodal Sketch... Guidance), a novel planning-based training-free guidance method for T2V models, improving control of spatial layout and object trajectories. 🔧 Key idea: • Generate a Video Sketch — a spatio-temporal plan with background, foreground, and motion in the pixel space. • Encode this structure directly into the latent space of the diffusion model during generation, which does not require fine-tuning or additional memory during inference. 🧵show more

This video shows a static fire test of the... Archimedes rocket engine, developed by Rocket Lab. Archimedes uses liquid methane (LCH.) as fuel and liquid oxygen (LOX) as the oxidizer, a combination known as methalox. During combustion, these cryogenic propellants produce extremely high temperatures (over 3,000°C), hotter than lava. To survive this, the engine circulates cold fuel through its walls before burning it, a technique called regenerative cooling. Multiple Archimedes engines will power Rocket Lab's upcoming Neutron rocket, which is being built to launch satellites and cargo to orbit with lower cost and higher reliability. Rocket Lab is best known for its Electron rocket and is now expanding into larger, reusable launch vehicles with Neutron.show more

Another explanation for Oumuamua's unusual shape has been proposed... The asteroid Oumuamua, which flew through the Solar System in 2017, amazed scientists with its unprecedentedly elongated shape. It is 230 meters long and about 35 meters wide. Astronomers have never seen such objects before and tried to explain its origin. Oumuamua is the first known object to arrive from interstellar space. Its trajectory and speed left no doubt that it does not belong to the Solar System. The object rotated around its axis, changing its brightness, which made it possible to determine its size.show more

🇷🇺 Andrey Bezrukov, advisor to the CEO of Rosneft,... Igor Sechin, stated yesterday at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (which itself came under Ukrainian attack) that Russia will remain in a state of war for the next “two decades”. According to him, Russia must learn to live under wartime conditions, and its state system and economy must be restructured not only for development but also around defense. He also noted that two “wartime generations” will be formed in Russia and admitted that Ukrainian drone strikes, which now reach any region of the country, have become a serious problem for which Russia was unprepared. This is a very frank and long-term assessment coming from a senior figure within the Russian establishment. The admission that Russia is preparing for decades of war, along with the recognition of the serious threat posed by Ukrainian drones, reflects the growing realism (and concern) even among those close to the Kremlin’s power structures.

🇸🇪🇺🇦✈️ Sweden has announced a significant new military aid... package for Ukraine, which includes the donation of several Jas 39 C/D Gripen fighter jets. At the same time, negotiations are set to begin on the future sale of more advanced Jas 39E model aircraft to Ukraine. The purchase of these additional jets will be financed through an EU loan. This decision marks an important step in strengthening Ukraine’s air force capabilities. The combination of free donations and long-term acquisitions financed by the EU demonstrates Sweden’s strong commitment to supporting Ukraine both immediately and in the long term.
