NASA fuel storage research launches aboard resupply mission

Space missions rely on cryogenic fluids—extremely cold liquids like liquid hydrogen and oxygen—for both propulsion and life support systems. These fuels must be kept at ultra-low cryogenic temperatures to remain in liquid form; however, solar heating and other sources of heat increase the rate of evaporation of the liquid and cause the pressure in the […]

From noise to power: A symmetric ratchet motor discovery

Vibrations are everywhere—from the hum of machinery to the rumble of transport systems. Usually, these random motions are wasted and dissipated without producing any usable work.

Researchers revive the pinhole camera for next-gen infrared imaging

Researchers have used the centuries-old idea of pinhole imaging to create a high-performance mid-infrared imaging system without lenses. The new camera can capture extremely clear pictures over a large range of distances and in low light, making it useful for situations that are challenging for traditional cameras.

Sunlight in Stone: The Great Pyramid channeled, captured and encapsulated light (Video)

The Great pyramid of Giza was considered a tomb, but many authors and researchers firmly agree that it was a structure that channeled, captured and encapsulated light—it was meant to be the Sunlight in Stone

Ancient Egyptians built the pyramids using engineering techniques that are a wonder of the world

Ancient Egyptians are believed […]

How interstellar objects similar to 3I/ATLAS could jumpstart planet formation around infant stars

Interstellar objects like 3I/ATLAS that have been captured in planet-forming disks around young stars could become the seeds of giant planets, bypassing a hurdle that theoretical models have previously been unable to explain.

Second exoplanet found orbiting nearby star Gliese 536

Using radial velocity measurements, an international team of astronomers has identified a second planet orbiting a nearby M-dwarf star known as Gliese 536. The newfound alien world turns out to be at least a few times more massive than Earth. The findings are covered in the upcoming issue of Astronomy & Astrophysics and currently available […]

QROCODILE experiment advances search for dark matter using superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors

Over the past decades, many research teams worldwide have been trying to detect dark matter, an elusive type of matter that does not emit, reflect or absorb light, using a variety of highly sensitive detectors. Ultimately, these detectors should be able to pick up the very small signals that would indicate the presence of dark […]

A group of explorers has discovered in a Mexican cave evidence what they boast as the best evidence of alien […]

Permeable inspection of pharmaceuticals: Real-time tablet quality inspection system developed

Led by Assistant Professor Kou Li, a research group at Chuo University, Japan, has developed a synergetic strategy among non-destructive terahertz (THz)–infrared (IR) photo-monitoring techniques and ultrabroadband sensitive imager sheets toward demonstrating in-line real-time multi-scale quality inspections of pharmaceutical agent pills.
