Latest gravitational wave characteristics uncovered
Monash researchers have identified a concept - 'orphan memory' - which changes the current thinking around gravitational waves.The research, by the Monash Centre for Astrophysics, was published recently inPhysical Review Letters.Einstein's theory of general relativity predicts that cataclysmic cosmic explosions stretch the fabric of spacetime.The stretching of spacetime is called 'gravitational waves.'
Conference brings basis of smart urban mobility solutions
Scotland’s Minister for Transport and the Islands, is appearing as a keynote speaker at a packed two day conference programme, which will see over 20 low carbon vehicles form the basis of the first Smart Urban Mobility Solutions (SUMS 2017) conference and exhibition.

Research focuses on nasal drug delivery into brain
Delivering life-saving drugs directly to the brain in a safe and effective way is a challenge for medical providers. One key reason: the blood-brain barrier, which protects the brain from tissue-specific drug delivery. Methods such as an injection or a pill aren’t as precise or immediate as doctors might prefer, and ensuring delivery right to the brain often requires invasive, risky techniques.
NASA selects Psyche and Lucy as Discovery missions
The Psyche mission, a journey to a metal asteroid, has been selected for flight under NASA’s Discovery Program, a series of lower-cost, highly focused robotic space missions that are exploring the solar system.Psyche includes prominent roles for Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences (EAPS) professors MariaZuber (leading the Gravity investigation), Richard Binzel (asteroid composition expert), and Benjamin Weiss (leading th...
Smart chargers selected for major nationwide trial
Evolt, the SWARCO Group’s eMobility brand, has been selected to provide its smart EV chargers for Electric Nation, a nationwide trial that is seeking to better understand the demand and impact that ‘at-home charging’ places on the local power distribution networks.Greater demand is being placed on power networks as the take up of EVs widens, EV battery sizes increase, and charging times get faster. This demand is particularly no...
