“The diversity of the phenomena of nature is so great, and the treasures hidden in the heavens so rich, precisely in order that the human mind shall never be lacking in fresh nourishment,” said 17th-centurymathematician, astronomer, and astrologer Johannes Kepler. Inspired by his work, NASA's Kepler mission has just ‘unearthed’ (sorry) what could easily be seen as one of the greatest results of human endeavour yet - eviden...

On 19th August, National Aviation Day, pilots, engineers and passengers alike will reflect on how far aviation has come in the last century. Could this be the future - an aircraft with 10 electric motors that can hover like a helicopter and fly like a plane?Forget future - this is a concept currently being developed by NASA researchers, under the name Greased Lightning, or GL-10.

Widely used for applications in the aerospace, electronic and OEM industries, Master Bond EP121CL-LO is a high performance epoxy that passes ASTM E595 testing for NASA low outgassing specifications. This two component system has a low mixed viscosity of 1,000-3,000cps with a mix ratio of 100:80 by weight. It features an exceptionally long open time of at least 2-3 days at room temperature in a 100g batch and requires oven curing.

For astronauts living in space with objects zooming around them at 22,000 miles per hour like rogue super-bullets, it’s good to have a backup plan. Although shields and fancy maneuvers could help protect space structures, scientists have to prepare for the possibility that debris could pierce a vessel. In the journal ACS Macro Letters, one team reports on a recent material that heals itself within seconds and could prevent structural penetr...

GrammaTech has announced the start of aresearch initiative to make use of modern advances in hardware and software to harden a system’s security. This project, funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) under the Cyber Fault-Tolerant Attack Recovery (CFAR) program, is part of a larger effort at GrammaTech to create highly-effective automated defenses against all kinds of cyber-attacks.

AVX has announced that, after several years of extensive testing, NASA has approved its space-level X7R Base Metal Electrode (BME) MLCCs for use in US military and aerospace applications under the criteria of the S-311-P-838 specification.

Altair announced that SGI has renewed its original equipment manufacturer (OEM) agreement naming PBS Professional as SGI’s workload manager and job scheduler with global support provided by Altair.
