Testing of wind sensing in rats shows sub-orbital whiskers play a role in assessing direction
A team of neurobiologists and neuroscientists at the Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory has found that sub-orbital whiskers play a role in helping rats determine which direction air movement is coming from and to respond accordingly. In their pa.....»»
Orbital angular momentum boosts multiplexed holography
Optical holography is a powerful method for recording and reconstructing complete optical field information, including intensity and phase. It has found extensive applications in various fields, such as optical display, imaging, data storage, encrypt.....»»
Watching the watchers with Nancy Grace Roman
Astronomers are getting better at gathering data about exoplanets. We have discovered thousands of them, measuring their mass, size, and orbital parameters, and we are starting to measure other aspects such as their temperature and atmospheric compos.....»»
World"s largest filled-aperture radio telescope finds missing link in evolution of spider pulsar system
Researchers from the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC) and their collaborators at home and abroad have discovered a binary pulsar with a 53-minute orbital period using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spheri.....»»
Research proposes extending Earth"s internet to Mars with orbital data servers

Bizarre exoplanet breaks all the orbital rules
In our solar system, the planetary orbits all have a similar orientation. Their orbital planes vary by a few degrees, but roughly the planets all orbit in the same direction. This invariable plane as it's known also has an orientation within a few de.....»»
SpaceX Starship effectively grounded by FAA after in-flight explosion
It was an exciting time when, two weeks ago, SpaceX got the clearance it needed to conduct its first orbital flight test with the Starship and Super Heavy launch system. After years of waiting, SN flight tests, static fire tests, and stacking and uns.....»»
Astronomers discover two super-Earths orbiting nearby star
Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), an international team of astronomers has discovered two "super-Earth" exoplanets orbiting a nearby M-dwarf star known as TOI-2095. The newfound alien worlds have short orbital periods and are.....»»
