  Bath UK (SPX) Sep 23, 2019 A new nanomaterial developed by scientists at the University of Bath could solve a conundrum faced by scientists probing some of the most promising types of future pharmaceuticals. Scientists who study the nanoscale - with molecules and materials 10,000 smaller than a pinhead - need to be able to test the way that some molecules twist, known as their chirality, because mirror image molecules with the same structure can have very different properties. For instance one kind of molecule smells of lem ... read more |

Physicists create world's smallest engineDublin, Ireland (SPX) Aug 23, 2019 Theoretical physicists at Trinity College Dublin are among an international collaboration that has built the world's smallest engine - which, as a single calcium ion, is approximately ten billion ti ... more 
DNA origami joins forces with molecular motors to build nanoscale machinesBoston MA (SPX) Jul 22, 2019 Every year, robots get more and more life-like. Solar-powered bees fly on lithe wings, humanoids stick backflips, and teams of soccer bots strategize how to dribble, pass, and score. And, the more r ... more

 Beijing, China (SPX) Sep 25, 2019 
In January of this year, China's Chang'E-4 - the fourth version of a lunar spacecraft named for the Chinese goddess of the Moon - landed on the far side of the Moon. Due to the location of the landing, Chang'E-4 had to navigate autonomously, without the guidance of scientists on Earth.
Now, a research team, headed by LI Chunlai, corresponding author of this results and a professor of the N ... more |

 Jiuquan, China (XNA) Sep 02, 2019 
Two satellites for technological experiments were sent into space by a Kuaizhou-1A, or KZ-1A, carrier rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China on Saturday.
The rocket blasted off at 7:41 a.m. and sent the two satellites into their planned orbit.
Kuaizhou-1A, meaning speedy vessel, is a low-cost solid-fuel carrier rocket with high reliability and a short prep ... more |

 Washington (AFP) Sept 26, 2019 
Organized efforts to manipulate social media and public opinion are being carried out in at least 70 countries by government agencies and political parties, researchers said Thursday.
A report by the Oxford Internet Institute found manipulation efforts have doubled over the past two years and are being used by both democratic and authoritarian governments.
The study found Facebook remain ... more |

 Paris (ESA) Sep 27, 2019 
Following a rigorous selection process, ESA has selected a new satellite mission to fill in a critical missing piece of the climate jigsaw. By measuring radiation emitted by Earth into space, FORUM will provide new insight into the planet's radiation budget and how it is controlled.
The Far-infrared Outgoing Radiation Understanding and Monitoring (FORUM) mission was one of two concepts com ... more |

 Buffalo NY (SPX) Sep 24, 2019 
Human hands are remarkably skilled at manipulating a range of objects. We can pick up an egg or a strawberry without smashing it. We can hammer a nail.
One characteristic that allows us to perform a variety of tasks is the ability to alter the firmness of our grip, and University at Buffalo engineers have developed a two-fingered robotic hand that shares this trait.
The design of the ... more |

 Los Angeles (AFP) Sept 26, 2019 
Drones are proving to be a game changer for US emergency responders who are increasingly using the technology to spot fires, detect toxic gas or to locate missing people or suspects, experts say.
"Where we cannot go, we will now be putting an unmanned aircraft system (UAS). Where we can't see, we can now put a UAS," Richard Fields, battalion chief with the Los Angeles Fire Department, told A ... more |

It may still be decades before quantum computers are ready to solve problems that today's classical computers aren't fast or efficient enough to solve, but the emerging "probabilistic computer" could bridge the gap between classical and quantum computing.
Engineers at Purdue University and Tohoku University in Japan have built the first hardware to demonstrate how the fundamental units of ... more |

 Greenbelt MD (SPX) Sep 27, 2019 
Will the Sun become a black hole? No, it's too small for that! The Sun would need to be about 20 times more massive to end its life as a black hole.
Stars that are born this size or larger can explode into a supernova at the end of their lifetimes before collapsing back into a black hole, an object with a gravitational pull so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape.
Some sma ... more |
