CERN: Unprecedented number of particles reached in record time at LHC

CERN reports that an unprecedented number of particles has been reached in record time at their Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Just five weeks after physics resumed, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is already running at full throttle, their report said. On Wednesday,…

Sound waves direct particles to self-assemble, self-heal

Sound waves direct particles to self-assemble, self-heal

An elegantly simple experiment with floating particles self-assembling in response to sound waves has provided a new framework for studying how seemingly lifelike behaviors emerge in response to external forces. Scientists at the Department of Energy’s…

First steps toward high-speed space internet

First steps toward high-speed space internet

NASA scientists are developing a trailblazing, long-term technology demonstration of what could become the high-speed internet of the sky. The Laser Communications Relay Demonstration (LCRD) will help NASA understand the best ways to operate laser communications…

JPL finds satellite lost in Moon’s orbit

JPL finds satellite lost in Moon’s orbit

A new technological application of interplanetary radar pioneered by scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, has successfully located spacecraft orbiting the moon – one active, and one dormant. This new technique could assist…

First lightning detector in a geostationary orbit

First lightning detector in a geostationary orbit

The first lightning detector in a geostationary orbit, the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM), aboard GOES-16, is now transmitting data never before available to forecasters. The mapper continually looks for lightning flashes in the Western Hemisphere, so…

Scientists discover highly efficient way of producing hydrogen

Scientists discover highly efficient way of producing hydrogen

Researchers from the University of Houston and the California Institute of Technology have discovered an efficient catalyst that uses molybdenum sulfoselenide particles on three-dimensional porous nickel diselenide foam to increase catalytic activity. The step is…

New form of light created

New form of light created

A new study performed by the scientists from the Imperial College London suggests it is possible to bind light to a single electron and create a new form of light. The new light form's properties would lead to circuits that work with packages of photons instead…

OneWeb’s 700-satellite constellation is right on schedule

OneWeb’s 700-satellite constellation is right on schedule

There is nothing better than finding a free open Wi-Fi signal when you’re wandering around the world, especially if you’re using your navigation app or something else that eats up a lot of your phone’s data plan. If that sounds good, imagine this…
