Future gravitational wave detector in space could uncover secrets of the Universe

“New research has shown that future gravitational wave detections from space will be capable of finding new fundamental fields and potentially shed new light on unexplained aspects of the Universe. Professor Thomas Sotiriou from the University of Nottingham’s Centre …

Geomagnetic Storm And Recently Deployed Starlink Satellites

“On Thursday, February 3 at 1:13 p.m. EST, Falcon 9 launched 49 Starlink satellites to low Earth orbit from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Falcon 9’s second stage deployed the satellites …

Light could boost performance of fuel cells, lithium batteries, and other devices

“With many devices depending on the motion of ions, light could be used as a switch to turn ion motion on and off. Engineers from MIT and Kyushu University in Japan have demonstrated for the first time how light can …

Mars helicopter Ingenuity aces 19th flight after historic Red Planet weather delay

“A dust storm pushed the liftoff date back by more than a month. The dust storm couldn’t keep NASA’s Mars helicopter Ingenuity grounded forever. The 4-pound (1.8 kilograms) Ingenuity aced a 100-second sortie on Tuesday (Feb. 8 …

Mutating Quantum Particles Set in Motion

“In the world of fundamental particles, you are either a fermion or a boson but a new study from the University of Cambridge shows, for the first time, that one can behave as the other as they move from one …

NASA Telescope Spots Highest-Energy Light Ever Detected From Jupiter

“The planet’s auroras are known to produce low-energy X-ray light. A new study finally reveals higher-frequency X-rays and explains why they eluded another mission 30 years ago. Scientists have been studying Jupiter up close since the 1970s, but the …

New insight into unconventional superconductivity

“Signatures for a novel electronic phase that enables charge to flow spontaneously in loops have been observed in a kagome superconductor. Using ultra-sensitive muon spin spectroscopy, researchers discovered time-reversal symmetry-breaking magnetic fields inside the material, indicating the existence of long-searched-for …

New plant-derived composite is tough as bone and hard as aluminum

“The material could pave the way for sustainable plastics. The strongest part of a tree lies not in its trunk or its sprawling roots, but in the walls of its microscopic cells. A single wood cell wall is constructed from …

New soft robot morphs from a ground to air vehicle using liquid metal

“Imagine a small autonomous vehicle that could drive over land, stop, and flatten itself into a quadcopter. The rotors start spinning, and the vehicle flies away. Looking at it more closely, what do you think you would see? What mechanisms …

Nordic launches nRF21540 Development Bundle for product development with 2.4 GHz wireless range extension

“Development Bundle comprises a development kit and evaluation kit for familiarization, configuration, and testing of the range, link budget, latency, and power consumption improvements provided by the nRF21540 RF Front-End Module Nordic Semiconductor today announces the launch of the nRF21540 …
