Helping authorities respond more quickly to airborne radiological threats
Feb 12, 2018 (SPX)
"We wanted a rapid way of detecting radiological aerosols that are usually associated with the production of dirty bombs or other radiological weapons," says Jo...
Advances in lasers get to the long and short of it
Feb 12, 2018 (SPX)
The laser cavities are formed of a chiral nematic liquid crystal doped with a fluorescent dye. The liquid crystal creates a photonic bandgap in the laser cavity...
Scientists can now 3D print nanoscale metal structures
Feb 12, 2018 (UPI)
Objects made via 3D printing are constructed using additive manufacturing, the deposition of material layer by layer. The technology can yield unique substructu...
Researchers take terahertz data links around the bend
Feb 12, 2018 (SPX)
Today's cellular networks and Wi-Fi systems rely on microwave radiation to carry data, but the demand for more and more bandwidth is quickly becoming more than ...
A Detailed Timeline of The IMAGE Mission Recovery
Feb 09, 2018 (SPX)
Now a watchful citizen scientist, NASA, and a team of IMAGE scientists and engineers detected and received data from the spacecraft. Here's how it happened. Sat...
Singapore takes next step towards implementing world's first space-based VHF communications
Feb 08, 2018 (SPX)
The space-based VHF communications system involves the mounting of VHF communications equipment onto a constellation of small low-earth-orbit satellites to enab...
Latest Data From IMAGE Indicates Spacecraft's Power Functional
Feb 06, 2018 (SPX)
On Thanksgiving Day in 2004, the IMAGE spacecraft - at that time still fully functioning - underwent an unexpected power distribution reboot, after which the po...
In-Orbit Servicing Market Opportunity Exceeds $3 Billion
Feb 06, 2018 (SPX)
Life extension services drive most of this revenue, as many in-orbit service providers plan to enter the market in the next five years servicing commercial and ...
Ultralow power consumption for data recording
Feb 05, 2018 (SPX)
This new material allows a drastic reduction in power consumption for data-recording in non-volatile random access memory. Phase change random access memory, PC...
Quantum control
Feb 05, 2018 (SPX)
Metamaterials are substances whose properties are determined not so much by the atoms they consist of, but by the atoms' structural arrangement. Each structure ...
Pearly material for bendable heating elements
Feb 05, 2018 (SPX)
Nacre, otherwise known as mother of pearl, makes up the opalescent exterior coating of a pearl and the inner coating of mollusk shells. Scientists have long bee...
Changing the color of 3-D printed objects
Feb 05, 2018 (SPX)
But imagine if that weren't the case - if, for example, you could recolor your iPhone case or earrings to match whatever outfit you're wearing. Researchers from...
New method for synthesizing novel magnetic material
Feb 05, 2018 (SPX)
Magnetic materials of this class are used in microwave and magnetic photon equipment. Iron-dysprosium garnet is understudied and may have previously unknown pro...
VR helps surgeons to 'see through' tissue and reconnect blood vessels
Feb 05, 2018 (SPX)
The HoloLens is a self-contained computer headset that immerses the wearer in 'mixed reality', enabling them to interact with 'holograms' - computer-generated o...
Quantum cocktail provides insights on memory control
Feb 05, 2018 (SPX)
This route proved to be promising, but the underlying physical mechanisms remain poorly understood. This is largely due the complexity of the magnetic materials...
A frequency-doubling unit for transportable lasers
Feb 03, 2018 (SPX)
Some of these new clocks can even be transported to other locations. At its QUEST Institute, PTB is currently developing a transportable optical aluminum clock ...
Studying the Van Allen Belts 60 years after America's first spacecraft
Feb 02, 2018 (SPX)
Sixty years ago, the United States launched its first satellite into space. Dubbed Explorer 1, the spacecraft followed just months after the Soviet Union's Sput...
Virtual reality goes magnetic
Feb 02, 2018 (SPX)
At first glance, the shiny little gold elements look like a modern tattoo. But on this extremely thin, almost invisible foil that sticks to the palm of the hand...
Contact with lost NASA satellite IMAGE confirmed
Jan 31, 2018 (SPX)
On the afternoon of Jan. 30, the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab in Laurel, Maryland, successfully collected telemetry data from the satellite. The signal sho...
Updates on recovery attempts for NASA IMAGE mission
Jan 30, 2018 (SPX)
Seeking to ascertain whether the signal indeed came from IMAGE, NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, coordinated the use of five separate ...
