| In Einstein's footsteps and beyond Posted: 27 Apr 2022 12:41 PM PDT Physicists are re-examining the foundations of quantum physics from the perspective of momentum and exploring what happens when the momentum of light is reduced to zero. |
| New device: Tallest height of any known jumper, engineered or biological Posted: 27 Apr 2022 12:41 PM PDT A mechanical jumper is capable of achieving the tallest height -- roughly 100 feet (30 meters) -- of any jumper to date, engineered or biological. The feat represents a fresh approach to the design of jumping devices and advances the understanding of jumping as a form of locomotion. |
| Electronic skin anticipates and perceives touch from different directions for the first time Posted: 27 Apr 2022 08:57 AM PDT Scientists have developed a new approach for miniaturization of soft ultra-compact and highly integrated sensor units for directional tactile sensitivity in e-skin systems. |
| Supernova reveals secrets to astronomers Posted: 27 Apr 2022 08:57 AM PDT An international group of astronomers has used observations to unlock a puzzling mystery about a stellar explosion discovered several years ago and evolving even now. The results will help astronomers better understand the process of how massive stars live and die. |
| Solar beats nuclear at many potential settlement sites on Mars Posted: 27 Apr 2022 07:05 AM PDT While most missions to the moon and other planets rely upon solar power, scientists have assumed that any extended surface mission involving humans would require a more reliable source of energy: nuclear power. Improvements in photovoltaics are upending this calculus. A new study concludes that a solar power system would weigh less than a nuclear system, and would be sufficient to power a colony at sites over nearly half the surface. |
| Disposable masks could be used to improve concrete Posted: 27 Apr 2022 07:04 AM PDT With the pervasive single-use masks during the pandemic now presenting an environmental problem, researchers have demonstrated the idea of incorporating old masks into a cement mixture to create stronger, more durable concrete. |
| Six new species of tiny frog discovered in Mexico Posted: 26 Apr 2022 07:18 AM PDT Scientists have discovered six new species of frog the size of a thumbnail in the forests of Mexico, with one earning the distinction of Mexico's smallest frog. |
