NASA Prepares To “Take the Plunge” and Explore Venus With DAVINCI

Posted by in categories: government, physics, space

Inspired by the Renaissance vision of Leonardo da Vinci, NASA

Established in 1958, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is an independent agency of the United States Federal Government that succeeded the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA). It is responsible for the civilian space program, as well as aeronautics and aerospace research. Its vision is “To discover and expand knowledge for the benefit of humanity.” Its core values are “safety, integrity, teamwork, excellence, and inclusion.” NASA conducts research, develops technology and launches missions to explore and study Earth, the solar system, and the universe beyond. It also works to advance the state of knowledge in a wide range of scientific fields, including Earth and space science, planetary science, astrophysics, and heliophysics, and it collaborates with private companies and international partners to achieve its goals.

MIT Researchers Make Superman’s Greatest Power A Reality

Posted by in category: computing

Researchers at MIT have developed an X-Ray vision headset similar to Superman’s powers. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed an X-ray vision headset. The device combines computer vision and wireless perception that automatically locates items located under a stack of papers or inside a box.

‘Forever chemicals’ in your toilet paper might give you cancer: study

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, chemistry

Your toilet paper might give you cancer, according to scientists. Experts from the University of Florida warn that your toilet paper could contain toxic “forever chemicals,” also known as per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAs), which have previously been linked to certain cancers and even low sperm count.

Researchers propose a simple, inexpensive approach to fabricating carbon nanotube wiring on plastic films

Posted by in categories: nanotechnology, particle physics

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are cylindrical tube-like structures made of carbon atoms that display highly desirable physical properties like high strength, low weight, and excellent thermal and electrical conductivities. This makes them ideal materials for various applications, including reinforcement materials, energy storage and conversion devices, and electronics.

Despite such immense potential, however, there have been challenges in commercializing CNTs, such as their incorporation on plastic substrates for fabricating flexible CNT-based devices. Traditional fabrication methods require carefully controlled environments such as high temperatures and a clean room. Further, they require repeat transfers to produce CNTs with different resistance values.

More direct methods such as laser-induced forward transfer (LIFT) and thermal fusion (TF) have been developed as alternatives. In the LIFT method, a laser is used to directly transfer CNTs onto substrates, while in TF, CNTs are mixed with polymers that are then selectively removed by a laser to form CNT wires with varying resistance values.

How to Generate New Neurons in the Brain

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, neuroscience

Summary: After discovering the importance of cell metabolism in neurogenesis, researchers were able to increase the number of neurons in the brains of adult and elderly mice.

Source: University of Geneva.

Some areas of the adult brain contain quiescent, or dormant, neural stem cells that can potentially be reactivated to form new neurons. However, the transition from quiescence to proliferation is still poorly understood.

SpaceX capsule delivers latest four-member crew to International Space Station

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, space travel

Once aboard, the four-member team faces a busy workload of more than 200 experiments and technology demonstrations, ranging from studies of human cell growth in space to controlling combustible materials in microgravity.

Some of the research will help pave the way for future long-duration human expeditions to the Moon and beyond under NASA’s Artemis program, its successor to Apollo, the U.S. space agency said.

The ISS crew also is responsible for performing maintenance and repairs aboard the station, and to prepare for the arrival and departure of other astronauts and cargo payloads.
