Recoding Voyager 1—NASA’s interstellar explorer is finally making sense again
"We're pretty much seeing everything we had hoped for, and that's always good news.” Engineers have partially restored a 1970s-era computer on NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft after five months of long-distance troubleshooting, building.....»»
A clinical decision support system for Earth-independent medical operations
Deep space exploration requires a paradigm shift in astronaut medical support toward Earth-independent medical operations. Currently, astronauts rely on real-time communication with ground-based medical providers. However, as the distance from Earth.....»»
Don’t share your location on dating apps: Experts found users’ coordinates with scary accuracy
Don’t share your location on dating apps: Experts found users’ coordinates with creepily high accuracy. In the evolving landscape of online dating, particularly within the LGBTQ+ community, the integration of geolocation features has raised.....»»
How whales struggle to navigate in a sea of noise pollution
In 1490, Leonardo da Vinci wrote, "If you cause your ship to stop and place the head of a long tube in the water and place the outer extremity to your ear, you will hear ships at a great distance from you.".....»»
Climate change threatens Antarctic meteorites
Using artificial intelligence, satellite observations, and climate model projections, a team of researchers from Switzerland and Belgium calculate that for every tenth of a degree of increase in global air temperature, an average of nearly 9,000 mete.....»»
"It"s ultimately about predicting everything"—theory could be a map in the hunt for quantum materials
A breakthrough in theoretical physics is an important step toward predicting the behavior of the fundamental matter of which our world is built. It can be used to calculate systems of enormous quantities of quantum particles, a feat thought impossibl.....»»
100 kilometers of quantum-encrypted transfer
Researchers at DTU have successfully distributed a quantum-secure key using a method called continuous variable quantum key distribution (CV QKD). The researchers have managed to make the method work over a record 100 km distance—the longest distan.....»»
Astronomers only knew of a single binary Cepheid system—they just found nine more
Measuring the distance to far away objects in space can be tricky. We don't even know the precise distance to even our closest neighbors in the universe—the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds. But, we're starting to get to the tools to measure it. O.....»»
A method to compute the Rényi entanglement entropy in auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo simulations
Entanglement is a widely studied quantum physics phenomenon, in which two particles become linked in such a way that the state of one affects the state of another, irrespective of the distance between them. When studying systems comprised of several.....»»
iPhone Screen Distance protects your eyes, here’s how it works
One of the new health features for iPhone and iPad with iOS 17 can help prevent eye strain for everyone, as well as lower the risk of myopia (nearsightedness) in kids. Here’s how to use iPhone Screen Distance and how it works. Brought to you by.....»»
New roadmap to prevent pandemics centers on protecting biodiversity
An international team of 25 scientists has proposed a roadmap for how to prevent the next pandemic by conserving natural areas and promoting biodiversity, thereby providing animals with enough food, safe havens and distance to limit contact and the t.....»»
Astronauts have surprising ability to know how far they "fly" in space
New research led by York University finds astronauts have a surprising ability to orient themselves and gauge distance traveled while free from the pull of gravity......»»
Regulating atomic Fe-Rh site distance for efficient oxygen reduction reaction
In a study published in the journal Science China Chemistry, the authors systematically design and investigate the site-distance effect of Fe-Rh atom catalysts (Fe-Rhx@NC) supported by N-doped graphene for ORR by an integrated theoretical and experim.....»»
New catalyst accelerates release of hydrogen from ammonia
Germany can probably only meet its demand for climate-friendly hydrogen by imports, for example, from South America or Australia. For such long-distance transport, hydrogen can be converted into ammonia......»»
A better handle on the emissions budget for the Paris climate targets
A team of scientists from the University of Exeter, Met Office, and Imperial College have found a new way to calculate the total carbon emissions consistent with the Paris climate targets of 1.5°C and 2°C of global warming......»»
Scientists propose new scheme for the quantum battery using waveguides
A new study by researchers at Boston University proposes a quantum battery (QB) charging scheme based on a rectangular hollow metal waveguide. This approach allows them to overcome environment-induced decoherence and charging distance limitations. Th.....»»
Researchers develop a more precise carbon footprint measurement method
Bayreuth researchers want to calculate the carbon footprint of companies more accurately in the future. The term "carbon footprint" refers to the recording of climate-impacting greenhouse gases and the compilation of these in a greenhouse gas balance.....»»
Where does lightning strike? New maps pinpoint 36.8 million yearly ground strike points in unprecedented detail
It's been a warm day, maybe even a little humid, and the tall clouds in the distance remind you of cauliflower. You hear a sharp crack, like the sound of a batter hitting a home run, or a low rumble reminiscent of a truck driving down the highway. A.....»»
This Knife Throwing Machine Guarantees A Bullseye
Knife throwing is both an art and a skill that’s difficult to master. It takes both hand-eye coordination and just the right spin to embed the knife into a target, and the longer the distance, the more power and spin are needed. While movies m.....»»
Did the Galileo mission find life on Earth?
In the fall of 1989, the Galileo spacecraft was launched into space, bound for Jupiter and its family of moons. Given the great distance to the king of planets, Galileo had to take a roundabout tour through the inner solar system, making a flyby of V.....»»
