Prof. Wang Junqiang's team at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has revealed the exponential relaxation events during the recovery process of glasses, providing solid evidence that.....»»
Dying stars" cocoons could be new source of gravitational waves
So far, astrophysicists have only detected gravitational waves from binary systems—the mergers of either two black holes, two neutron stars or one of each. Although astrophysicists theoretically should be able to detect gravitational waves from a s.....»»
NHTSA aims to cut 24K road injuries a year
Under the proposal, automakers would be required to equip all new vehicles with automatic emergency braking systems that can prevent or mitigate frontal crashes at higher speeds, detect pedestrians and work effectively in the dark......»»
NASA looks back at 50 years of gamma-ray burst science
Fifty years ago, on June 1, 1973, astronomers around the world were introduced to a powerful and perplexing new phenomenon called GRBs (gamma-ray bursts). Today sensors on orbiting satellites like NASA's Swift and Fermi missions detect a GRB somewher.....»»
