Using data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, scientists have identified an Earth-size world, called TOI 700 e, orbiting within the habitable zone of its star - the range of distances where liquid water could occur on a planet's surface. The world is 95% Earth's size and likely rocky.
Astronomers previously discovered three planets in this system, called TOI 700 b, c, and d

Creeping, rising, falling, slipping - some parts of Earth are in perpetual motion. The movements are usually too tiny for human senses to notice, but they offer clues about more significant changes happening inside volcanoes, along fault lines, and where tectonic plates meet and clash. That's why scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California are using advanced tools and c

NASA's Ingenuity Mars Helicopter has acquired a new image using its high-resolution color camera. The camera, which is mounted in the helicopter's fuselage and pointed approximately 22 degrees below the horizon, was used during the 38th flight of the Ingenuity on January 11, 2023 (Sol 667 of the Perseverance rover mission).
During the flight, the Ingenuity traveled a horizontal distance of

When fossil fuels are burned, massive amounts of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, are released into the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases, which trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, are to blame for global warming. Sea level rise, harsh weather, biodiversity loss, species extinction, food scarcity, worsening health, and increased poverty are all risks associated with global average warming of above

Today, autonomous vehicles (AVs) and advanced driver assistance systems (ADASs) are rapidly growing research directions aimed at increasing vehicle and road safety. Both technologies minimize human error by enabling cars to "perceive" their surroundings and act accordingly.
This is achieved using light detection and ranging (lidar) technology, one of the most important and versatile compon

Quest for an ideal switching device for ultra-low power applications leads to an exploration of novel micro/nanoelectromechanical systems (M/NEMS) switches. This research has been driven by the superior performance of M/NEMS devices, such as ideally abrupt switching with zero off-state leakage, suitable for harsh and extreme environments, and very small footprints.
The suspended element of

A new method could greatly reduce the time and expense needed for certain important safety checks in nuclear power reactors. The approach could save money and increase total power output in the short run, and it might increase plants' safe operating lifetimes in the long run.
One of the most effective ways to control greenhouse gas emissions, many analysts argue, is to prolong the lifetime

Raindrops, evaporating water, and even moisture in the air are all potentially sources of decentralized clean electricity generation, but many of the technologies that take advantage of this ambient and vast source of energy-many of which are inspired by the electricity harvesting techniques of plants and animals-remain at the lab-bench stage. A group of researchers and engineers have put togeth

In recent years, lithium ion batteries have been widely used in many fields. Compared with traditional lithium ion battery cathode materials, more lithium ions in lithium rich manganese based cathode materials of unit mass participate in energy storage.
However, in the process of battery reaction, stress accumulation and lattice oxygen loss will cause some microcracks in lithium rich manga
