Young stars ejecting plasma could give us clues into the Sun’s past Kyoto, Japan — Down here on Earth we don’t usually notice, but the Sun is frequently ejecting huge masses of plasma into space. These are called coronal mass ejections (CMEs). They often occur together with sudden brightenings called flares, and sometimes extend far enough to disturb Earth’s magnetosphere, generating space weather phenomena including auroras or geomagnetic storms, and even damaging power grids on occasion. Scientists believe that when…
This is the first time such simple ‘universal models’ have been found to exist. The study, published this week in Science, builds on pioneering work from the…
Quantum computing differs fundamentally from classical computing, in that it is based on the generation and processing of qubits. Unlike classical bits, which…
The computer scientists have developed new methods which enable them to reconstruct surfaces from videos and then alter them on the computer.
“FAIR’s ring accelerator will be composed of many different components that we design, develop, and plan in detail with the help of complex calculations and…
Soft Surfaces Vibrate Strongly
NASA recently selected a miniaturized version of the original X-ray camera to fly as a CubeSat mission to study Earth's magnetic cusps – regions in the…
NASA's Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) spacecraft is in thermal vacuum testing, designed to…
The present invention relates to a plant and a procedure for separating gold or other metal particles from a mixture of particles by applying dielectrophoresis. The physical separation method specifically separates metals, e.g. gold, from a suspension. This is accomplished by a special configuration of electrodes allowing for the creation of an electric field which is selective to metallic particles. The new method replaces environmentally hazardous cyanide leaching almost completely and thus considerably reduces the amounts of the chemicals that need to be applied.
An amputee was able to feel smoothness and roughness in real-time with an artificial fingertip that was surgically connected to nerves in his upper arm….
CaSSIS (Colour and Stereo Surface Imaging System) has been developed by a team led by the University of Bern. It is scheduled to be launched on a PROTON rocket…
The meta-skin takes its name from metamaterials, which are composites that have properties not found in nature and that can manipulate electromagnetic waves….
Since it produces almost no friction at all, it could drastically reduce energy loss in machines when used as a coating, as the researchers report in the…
University of Chicago scientists have discovered evidence in a meteorite that a rare element, curium, was present during the formation of the solar system….
The purely optical compensation of errors in encoder readings allows for robust sensor design with alignment-free assembly of the encoder disc. Due to a diffractive compensation track the beam spot on the measuring track can be compensated prior to sensor signal generation.
The present invention relates to new water soluble single source intumescent flame retardants. The commonly used retardants are often seen as a health concern and tend to falsify the natural look of wood.
The Invention describes a novel class of kappa Opioid receptor (KOR) ligands which can be used for the therapy of a variety of human disorders.
