  Glasgow UK (SPX) Sep 08, 2020 Nanosatellites, built in Glasgow, will join a fleet of more than 100 objects in low Earth orbit that help to predict the movement of the world's resources, so that businesses and governments can make informed decisions. The four satellites are due to be launched this month, two aboard an Indian PSLV launcher and another two on a Russian Soyuz launcher. Spire uses automatic identification systems aboard ships to track their whereabouts on the oceans. Its network picks up the identity, position, cou ... read more |

Quantum bits, or qubits, can hold quantum information much longer now thanks to efforts by an international research team. The researchers have increased the retention time, or coherence time, to 10 milliseconds - 10,000 times longer than the previous record - by combining the orbital motion and spinning inside an atom.
Such a boost in information retention has major implications for infor ... more |

Black holes can expel a thousand times more matter than they capture. The mechanism that governs both ejection and capture is the accretion disk, a vast mass of gas and dust spiraling around the black hole at extremely high speeds. The disk is hot and emits light as well as other forms of electromagnetic radiation. Part of the orbiting matter is pulled toward the center and disappears behind the ... more |
