Space may seem empty, but it's actually a dynamic place populated with near-invisible matter, and dominated by forces, in particular those created by magnetic fields. Magnetospheres-the magnetic fields around most planets-exist throughout our solar system. They deflect high-energy, charged particles called cosmic rays that are spewed out by the Sun or come from interstellar space. Along with atmospheres, they happen to protect the planets' surfac...

Two NASA teams want to deploy a highly compact, sensitive thermometer that could characterise comets and even assist in the redirection or possible destruction of an asteroid on a collision course with Earth.

EIS Electronics designs, manufactures and delivers precise, high tech electrical harnesses qualified for use in Aerospace and Defense applications. From major Airbus programmes and Ariane 5 launch vehicles to various satellites, military armoured vehicles, submarines and radar systems.

Master Bond EP3HTSDA-1 is a single part, no mix epoxy adhesive designed primarily for die attach applications. It exhibits a die shear strength of 20-22 kg-f and has a high thermal conductivity. “This 100% solids formulation has an ideal viscosity and flow for die attach, will not ‘tail’ and can be easily dispensed automatically” says Rohit Ramnath, senior product engineer. “Additionally it has an unlimited working l...

Engineers at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, tested NASA's first 3Dprinted rocket engine prototype part made of two different metal alloys through an innovative advanced manufacturing process. NASA has been making and evaluating durable 3Dprinted rocket parts made of one metal, but the technique of 3Dprinting, or additive manufacturing, with more than one metal is more difficult.

With smartphones millions of times more powerful than the NASA Apollo computers that sent us to the moon in the 1960s, scientists have been eager to adapt them back here on Earth to better the planet.That's exactly what ASU Biodesign Institute researcher Tony Hu and postdoctoral researcher Dali Sun have recently demonstrated in the fight against infectious diseases.

A strange visitor, either asteroid or comet,zipping through our solar system at a high rate of speed is giving astronomers a once-in-a-generation opportunity to examine up close an object from somewhere else in our galaxy.“It’s a really rare object,” explains Ralf Kotulla, a University of Wisconsin–Madison astronomer who, with colleagues from UCLA and the NOAO, used the 3.5 meter WIYN Telescope on Kitt Peak, Arizona, to ta...

Andy Bowyer, Director, Kleos Space and Magna Parva, talked about the key effects of space exploration to life on Earth, at the Codex event 'World's Top 50 Innovators from the Industries of the Future', held in London, on the 27th September, 2017.

The full force of Mother Nature has recently been felt in the Caribbean and in Texas as hurricanes Irma, Harvey and Maria decimated large parts of central America. However, technology has stepped in to lend a hand to those caught up in the chaos.A floating survival shelter that, in the event of a disaster, can house between two and ten people for up to five days has been invented by two aerospace engineers based in Seattle.

A reusable, water-powered Mars lander that will allow humans to explore the Red Planet from an orbiting 'base camp' as early as the 2030s was unveiled Friday by US defence giant Lockheed Martin.Governments and private firms are collaborating on projects to send humans to new frontiers, with NASA planning missions next decade into the space between Earth and the Moon to prepare for trips to Mars.
