Voyager 1 Detects Plasma "Hum"
Obipale shares a report from Phys.Org: Voyager 1 -- one of two sibling NASA spacecraft launched 44 years ago and now the most distant human-made object in space -- still works and zooms toward infinity. The craft has long since zipped past the edge o.....»»
Pulsed discharge plasma helps in heavy oil conversion
The increasingly inferior quality of heavy oil resources has brought more difficult challenges to traditional heavy oil processing technology. The high temperature and pressure conditions, and the carbon emission and energy consumption required to co.....»»
Actively reducing noise by ionizing air
Did you know that wires can be used to ionize air to make a loudspeaker? Simply put, it's possible to generate sound by creating an electric field in a set of parallel wires, aka a plasma transducer, strong enough to ionize the air particles. The cha.....»»
Eruption of Tonga underwater volcano found to disrupt satellite signals halfway around the world
An international team has used satellite- and ground-based ionospheric observations to demonstrate that an air pressure wave triggered by volcanic eruptions could produce an equatorial plasma bubble (EPB) in the ionosphere, severely disrupting satell.....»»
Topologically structured light detects the position of nano-objects with atomic resolution
Optical imaging and metrology techniques are key tools for research rooted in biology, medicine and nanotechnology. While these techniques have recently become increasingly advanced, the resolutions they achieve are still significantly lower than tho.....»»
Reading chemicals inside the brain with an aptamer/microelectronic fiber combination
A research group has developed a neural device that detects specific neurotransmitters in the brain with high sensitivity and selectivity by combining multifunctional fibers and DNA molecular probes. Details of the research were published in the jour.....»»
New study detects inaudible sounds of volcanic mudflows
A study published in Scientific Reports shows that catastrophic volcanic mudflows, known as lahars, can be effectively monitored with infrasound remote sensing technology......»»
Temperature of solar flares helps understand nature of solar plasma
The sun's rotation produces changes in its magnetic field, which flips completely every 11 years or so, triggering a phase of intense activity. Solar flares—huge eruptions from the surface of the sun lasting minutes or hours—emit intense bursts o.....»»
Accretion disk around black holes recreated in the lab
Imperial College researchers have created a spinning disk of plasma in a lab, mimicking disks found around black holes and forming stars......»»

Low-temperature plasma technology shows promise in treating antibiotics in wastewater
A research team led by Prof. Huang Qing from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences proposed a novel approach to treat antibiotics by using low-temperature plasma technology. The study was published in the Journal.....»»
"Sayonara" gene: Scientists uncover a protein in fruit flies that many textbooks say shouldn"t exist
RIKEN geneticists have uncovered a protein in fruit flies that many textbooks say doesn't exist. The protein detects stress in cells and sets them on a pathway to self-destruction when they are overly stressed......»»
Voyager 2 Gets a Life-Extending Power Boost in Deep Space
The NASA team hopes the iconic spacecraft and its twin can continue taking data beyond the solar system past their 50th birthdays......»»
4 of Uranus’s icy moons could have liquid water oceans
Using data from the Voyager mission, researchers found that four of Uranus's moons likely have liquid water oceans beneath icy crusts......»»
Scientists say they have found more moons with oceans in the Solar System
NASA probably is about to get serious about exploring the Uranian system. Enlarge / The complex terrain of Ariel is viewed in this image, the best Voyager 2 color picture of the Uranian moon. (credit: NASA/JPL) In recent.....»»
Study of Uranus" large moons shows four may hold water
Re-analysis of data from NASA's Voyager spacecraft, along with new computer modeling, has led NASA scientists to conclude that four of Uranus' largest moons likely contain an ocean layer between their cores and icy crusts. Their study is the first to.....»»
Amazon Inspector allows search of its vulnerability intelligence database
Amazon Inspector is designed to manage vulnerabilities by continuously scanning your AWS workloads for software vulnerabilities and unintended network exposure across your entire organization. Upon activation, Amazon Inspector automatically detects a.....»»
SpaceX shares surreal footage of Falcon Heavy fairing reentry
