For the first time ever, astronomers have observed both gravitational waves and light (electromagnetic radiation) from the same event, thanks to a global collaborative effort and the quick reactions of both ESO's facilities and others around the world.On 17 August 2017 the NSF 's Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) in the United States, working with the Virgo Interferometer in Italy, detected gravitational waves passing the...

With a low coefficient of thermal expansion of 15-20 x 10-6in/in/°C, Master Bond EP13LTE is a one part epoxy for structural bonding applications. According to Master Bond, EP13LTE cures readily in 1-2 hours at 300-350°F and has limited flow while curing.It is said to bond well to many substrates such as metals, glass, composites, ceramics and plastics.

When faced with the destructive powers of nature there is not a lot that can be done.Severe weather systems such as hurricanes, typhoons, and winter storms regularly strike population centres, and their impact can be catastrophic. For the longest time it was difficult to accurately predict a storm’s arrival and might.

Masimo has announced the full market release of RAS-45, an adhesive adult and pediatric acoustic respiration sensor for rainbow Acoustic Monitoring(RAM). RAS-45 offers the same performance as the currently available RAS-125c sensor but in a smaller size, with more flexible adhesive.

Researchers from the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University have for the first time shown that neural networks – a form of artificial intelligence – can accurately analyse the complex distortions in spacetime known as gravitational lenses 10 million times faster than traditional methods.

Paul Golata, Mouser, talks about shaping smarter cities, farming against the grain and intelligent analogue solutions for smart agriculture in deep space.

There are no mechanics on Mars, so the next best thing for NASA's Curiosity rover is careful driving.A new algorithm is helping the rover do just that. The software, referred to as traction control, adjusts the speed of Curiosity's wheels depending on the rocks it's climbing.

How do you get a robot to recognise a surprise?That's a question Artificial Intelligence (AI) researchers are pondering, especially as AI begins to change space research. A new article in the journalScience: Roboticsoffers an overview of how AI has been used to make discoveries on space missions.

Just like early explorers, NASA Twins Study investigators are venturing into new territory. Conducting human omics research on twin astronauts as part of the One Year Mission that took place aboard the International Space Station is one such venture. As technology evolves so does the research. NASA is evaluating more efficient and innovative research techniques to prepare for the journey to Mars.

For more than 20 years, Qing Hu, a distinguished professor of electrical engineering and computer science at MIT, and his group have been working on sources of terahertzradiation that can be etched onto microchips. In the latest issue ofNature Photonics, members of Hu’s group and colleagues at Sandia National Laboratories and the University of Toronto describe a novel design that boosts the power output of chip-mounted terahertzlasers by 80...
