Mars Panorama from Curiosity Shows Petrified Sand Dunes
Large-scale crossbedding in the sandstone of this ridge on a lower slope of Mars' Mount Sharp is typical of windblown sand...
Funky Light Signal From Colliding Black Holes Explained
This simulation helps explain an odd light signal thought to be coming from a close-knit pair of merging...
Cellulose Nanopaper Produced by Optical Nanosensors
Inexpensive Method Reduces Costs to Produce Light Sorbent Nanostructured Layers
Inexpensive Method Reduces Costs to Produce Light Sorbent Nanostructured Layers
Researchers have tried to synthesize and study new nanostructured absorbing layers made of cheap and available elements with desirable physical properties because indium and gallium are very rare and expensive.
Making 3-D objects disappear: Berkeley Lab researchers create ultrathin invisibility cloak
Working with brick-like blocks of gold nanoantennas, the Berkeley researchers fashioned a "skin cloak" barely 80 nanometers in thickness, that was wrapped around a three-dimensional object about the size of a few biological cells and arbitrarily...
Removal of Heavy Metals from Wastewater by Electromagnetic Superabsorbent Nanocomposites
This research deals with the production of biocompatible electromagnetic superabsorbent nanocomposites, and their application in the removal of pollutants, including lead, cadmium and cobalt, from drinking water. The nanosorbent has been produced...
NASA Completes Key Milestone for Orion Spacecraft in Support of Journey to Mars
NASA’s mission to send astronauts to deep space destinations where no other human has traveled has taken another important step forward with the completion of a critical milestone for the Orion spacecraft currently in production.
