  Bochum, Germany (SPX) May 07, 2019 Nanoparticles can be used in many ways as catalysts. To be able to tailor them in such a way that they can catalyse certain reactions selectively and efficiently, researchers need to determine the properties of single particles as precisely as possible. So far, an ensemble of many nanoparticles is analysed. However, the problem of these investigations is that the contributions of different particles interfere, so that the properties of individual particles remain concealed.

 Washington (AFP) July 12, 2019 
We've all been there: you're working on something important, your PC crashes, and you lose all your progress.
Such a failure was not an option during the Apollo missions, the first time ever that a computer was entrusted with handling flight control and life support systems - and therefore the lives of the astronauts on board.
Despite an infamous false alarm during lunar descent that ... more |

 Beijing (XNA) Jul 08, 2019 
With eyes bright, Sun Zezhou, chief designer of China's Chang'e-4 lunar probe, speaks fast but clearly.
"Every time I see the moon, I think how Chinese probes have left permanent footprints on it, especially Chang'e-4, the first spacecraft to soft-land on the far side. As a member of the mission, I'm very proud," said Sun.
Chinese engineers began plans for the Chang'e-1 lunar probe i ... more |

 Washington (AFP) July 11, 2019 
President Donald Trump ramped up his attacks on Silicon Valley giants on Thursday with a call for "regulatory and legislative solutions" to what he described as unfair treatment of conservatives by major online platforms.
At a White House social media "summit," Trump excluded internet firms from the gathering of conservative activists who have been curbed on social media.
But he said he ... more |

 Sydney, Australia (SPX) Jul 08, 2019 
A tsunami holds its wave shape over very long distances across the ocean, retaining its power and 'information' far from its source.
In communications science, retaining information in an optic fibre that spans continents is vital. Ideally, this requires the manipulation of light in silicon chips at the source and reception end of the fibre without altering the wave shape of the photonic p ... more |

Like whirlpools in the ocean, spinning black holes in space create a swirling torrent around them. However, black holes do not create eddies of wind or water. Rather, they generate disks of gas and dust heated to hundreds of millions of degrees that glow in X-ray light.
Using data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and chance alignments across billions of light years, astronomers have d ... more |

 Durham UK (SPX) Jul 09, 2019 
Supercomputer simulations of galaxies have shown that Einstein's general theory of relativity might not be the only way to explain how gravity works or how galaxies form.
Physicists at Durham University, UK, simulated the cosmos using an alternative model for gravity - f(R)-gravity, a so called Chameleon Theory. The resulting images produced by the simulation show that galaxies like our Mi ... more |
