ING Telescopes Provide Unique Observations in Support of the ESA Rosetta Mission
The European Space Agency’s Rosetta mission is currently exploring comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, returning incredible views of this tiny frozen world. The Rosetta mission is a hugely ambitious endeavour – the first spacecraft to orbit a comet and...
Capacitor breakthrough: Nanotechnology offers new approach to increasing storage ability of dielectric capacitors
While the flux capacitor still conjures sci-fi images, capacitors are now key components of portable electronics, computing systems, and electric vehicles.
Biosensors; New Option to Diagnose Leukemia
Iranian researchers from Tarbiat Modarres University designed a biosensor that enables the early diagnosis of leukemia in the test sample by using naked eyes. The biosensors have been produced at low cost, and they enjoy high sensitivity, selectivity...
NASA Calls for American Industry Ideas on ARM Spacecraft Development
NASA, through its Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, has issued a call to American industry for innovative ideas on how the agency could obtain a core advanced solar electric propulsion-based spacecraft to support the Asteroid...
Photons open the gateway for quantum networks
Quantum information can be sent optically, that is to say, using light, and the signal is comprised of photons, which is the smallest component (a quantum) of a light pulse. Quantum information is located in whichever path the photon is sent along --...
Fuel Additive Could Lead to Safer Jet Fuel
Airplane accidents are especially dangerous because jet fuel is highly flammable under crash conditions. On impact, jet fuel is dispersed in the air as a fine mist, which triggers a sequence of events that can lead to a fire engulfing an entire plane...
Graphene nano-coils are natural electromagnets: Rice University researchers discover graphene spirals could challenge macro solenoids
A nano-coil made of graphene could be an effective solenoid inductor for electronic applications, according to researchers at Rice...
