On the battlefield, snipers rarely work alone. Snipers act as part of a system with a spotter who surveys a wide area to identify potential targets. That's one way to think about the Next-Generation Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) system, according to Mike Ciffone, director of programs, OPIR, Northrop Grumman. The Next-Generation Polar (NGP) satellites act as the spotter, surveying an

Using hydrous ethanol as a dual fuel in internal combustion engines may help reduce greenhouse gases in the rail industry. Climate change is inspiring many industries to examine how greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions can be reduced. Rail and marine, which together account for about 4% of transportation's GHG emissions, are a relatively small but important area where progress can be made. Essam

Basel, Switzerland (SPX) Mar 29, 2022
Quantum bits (qubits) are the smallest units of information in a quantum computer. Currently, one of the biggest challenges in developing this kind of powerful computer is scalability. A research group at the University of Basel, working with the IBM Research Laboratory in Ruschlikon, has made a breakthrough in this area. Quantum computers promise unprecedented computing power, but to date

Manufacturing electronics and sensors in space are becoming an inevitable part of future space exploration and activities. But even today's state-of-the-art liquid-based printing machines present challenges within microgravity or antigravity environments. That's a problem. A team of Auburn multi-disciplinary researchers, however, have a proposed solution. Masoud Mahjouri-Samani, assi

New York (AFP) March 30, 2022
Facebook's owner Meta has hired a consulting firm to carry out a US campaign denigrating its fierce rival TikTok, according to a Washington Post report Wednesday partially confirmed by AFP. The campaign reportedly includes placing letters in major US news outlets and promoting negative stories about TikTok, allegedly using the type of tough tactics familiar to Washington politics. Meta,

Wind energy relies on efficient wind turbine blades, which act as airfoils, structures akin to an airplane wing. Air flow control accessories similar to those found in aircraft improve the turbine blade's aerodynamic performance. In the Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy, by AIP Publishing, scientists from China show a bionic approach combining features of a seagull's wing with an

Ethanol is usually produced through the fermentation of sugars from starchy raw materials such as corn, or from lignocellulosic biomass, such as wood or straw. It is an established fuel that decarbonizes the transportation sector and can be a building block to reduce emissions of CO2 over the long term. In collaboration with the Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology (LUT) in Finland,

Hangzhou, China (SPX) Mar 30, 2022
While electric vehicles have reaped the rewards of new high-energy lithium-ion batteries and rapid charging technology, challenges remain. For example, although cars can cover longer distances between charges, and battery charging times have reduced, the lifespan of those batteries has also decreased, and low heat dissipation efficiency has led to safety issues. Researchers from the

Industrialization is considered the main way poor countries become developed. To successfully develop - or generate more wealth and output - many believe poor countries must shift employment away from agriculture and into manufacturing. History proves this to be generally true: During the Industrial Revolution, the United States and other developed countries moved away from agriculture and

Under a project led by the RIKEN Center for Computational Science, researchers have used computer simulations to show that weather phenomena such as sudden downpours could potentially be modified by making small adjustments to certain variables in the weather system. They did this by taking advantage of a system known as a "butterfly attractor" in chaos theory, where a system can have one of two

Rooftop gardens and greenery can help ease some of the severe heat in cities, according to research from climate scientists at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York. For several decades, researchers have promoted replacing black tar and other dark-colored roofing materials with bright, Sun-reflecting surfaces or "green roofs" full of plant cover. Now they have used freely

Whether someone is trying to predict tomorrow's weather, forecast future stock prices, identify missed opportunities for sales in retail, or estimate a patient's risk of developing a disease, they will likely need to interpret time-series data, which are a collection of observations recorded over time. Making predictions using time-series data typically requires several data-processing ste
