Still kickin" since the "70s: NASA"s Voyager mission keeps exploring
NASA's Voyager mission launched in the 1970s. Today, it's making history as it conducts new science. But how are two spacecraft from the '70s not just surviving, but thriving farther out in space than any other spacecraft has been before?.....»»
Ensuring a bright future for diamond electronics and sensors by perfecting the growth process
Researchers are developing new ideas about the best ways to make lab-grown diamonds while minimizing other forms of carbon, such as soot. These diamonds aren't destined for rings and necklaces, though. These are the kinds that are needed for the comp.....»»
A single atom can change the directional profile of the light emitted in scanning tunneling microscopes
Researchers from Madrid explain a phenomenon that allows the direction of light emission to be controlled at the atomic scale. The paper provides a detailed explanation of how the profile of the light collected in a scanning tunneling microscope (STM.....»»

Unlocking next-gen chip efficiency: Researchers confirm thermal insights for tiny circuits
In a leap toward more powerful and efficient computer chips, researchers at the University of Virginia have confirmed a key principle governing heat flow in thin metal films—a critical component in the race to design faster, smaller and more effici.....»»
Exploring the extraordinary potential (and avoiding the pitfalls) of your local Buy Nothing group
You might have heard about your local Buy Nothing Project group on Facebook. If not, you probably know someone who's a member. We estimate at least one million Australians are involved as members or live in households with a member (probably their mu.....»»
23 Years of the iPod: How Elite Obsolete Electronics keeps the music playing
There’s probably enough material to produce a book about the importance of the iPod to Apple’s history (and revenue). Yet, the company said goodbye to the brand in 2022 as it finally discontinued the last edition of the iPod Touch. There is a sma.....»»
Geodynamic mantle-flow model explains deformation of continental crust block in North China
Cratons are fascinating yet enigmatic geological formations. Known to be relatively stable portions of the Earth's continental crust, cratons have remained largely unchanged for billions of years. Although cratons have survived many geological events.....»»
Fungi may not think, but they can communicate
Fungi form distinct networks depending on how food sources are arranged. Fungi can be enigmatic organisms. Mushrooms or other structures may be visible above the soil, but beneath.....»»
Finally, a sign of life for Europe’s sovereign satellite Internet constellation
European nations don't want to remain beholden to Starlink, OneWeb, or other networks. The European Commission announced Thursday it plans to sign a contract with the continent's.....»»
Copilot Money review: The best budgeting app gets better with iPad support, Cash Flow, and Tags

Off the clothesline, on the grid: MXene nanomaterials enable wireless charging in textiles
The next step for fully integrated textile-based electronics to make their way from the lab to the wardrobe is figuring out how to power the garment gizmos without unfashionably toting around a solid battery. Researchers from Drexel University, the U.....»»
A novel state of thorium opens the possibility for a nuclear clock
Why are there atomic clocks but no nuclear clocks? After all, an atom's nucleus is typically surrounded by many electrons, so in principle it should be less susceptible to outside noise (in the form of light). A nucleus, for high-atomic number atoms,.....»»
