"Phantoms" from beyond the moon could provide valuable data on cosmic radiation doses
The Orion spacecraft on the Artemis I mission is carrying, as part of the MARE experiment, two human "phantoms" equipped with numerous cosmic rays detectors. The information gathered by the detectors will for the first time verify the knowledge, cruc.....»»
NASA"s Perseverance rover collects two samples of Martian regolith
NASA's Perseverance rover snagged two new samples from the Martian surface on Dec. 2 and 6. But unlike the 15 rock cores collected to date, these newest samples came from a pile of wind-blown sand and dust similar to but smaller than a dune. Now cont.....»»
Black hole "carnivals" may produce the signals seen by gravitational-wave detectors
Since 2015, the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration have detected about 85 pairs of black holes crashing into each other. We now know that Einstein was right: gravitational waves are generated by these systems as they inspiral around each other, distortin.....»»
Designing better water filters with AI
Even the best water filters let some things through, but designing improved materials and then testing them is time consuming and difficult. Now, researchers in ACS Central Science report that artificial intelligence (AI) could speed up the developme.....»»
Unique features of octopus create "an entirely new way of designing a nervous system"
Octopuses are not much like humans—they are invertebrates with eight arms, and more closely related to clams and snails. Still, they have evolved complex nervous systems with as many neurons as in the brains of dogs, and are capable of a wide array.....»»
Home Depot for DIY Chips: What"s the going trend?
Designing a chip is a complex process. First comes laying out the chip, making sure the design works, then preparing all the files required for the foundry, and when they come back from the fabs there is a lot of work involved in getting the chip deb.....»»
Seven principles for designing low-carbon skyscrapers
Despite growing concerns about the carbon emissions associated with their construction and operation, skyscrapers continue to spring up around the globe. Here, Philip Oldfield sets out seven ways to design tall buildings that are more sustainable. Re.....»»
Jason Pohl: From Designing Video Games to Orange County Choppers and Beyond
Jason Pohl calls himself a “pretengineer” because he’s self-taught. Trained as artist, his design work has taken him from creating video games to actually designing and fabricating parts for Orange County Choppers. He moved into CA.....»»
Compliance initiatives can advance your organization’s security journey
Compliance standards are designed to give organizations a foundational approach to designing their security program while also reassuring third parties that you have met at least a minimal set of security controls. In this Help Net Security video, Ch.....»»
First "Run 3" physics result from the Large Hadron Collider"s compact muon solenoid
On July 5, the LHC roared to life for its third run after three years of continual improvements to the machine as well as to the experiments' detectors and analysis tools, and immediately reached a record energy of 13.6 TeV. Just three weeks later, t.....»»
