Is there life on Terran V? Join the adventure to the fictional planet and find out what it takes to reach the farthest frontiers of deep space.
This video uses a fictional spacecraft and a fictional star system to illustrate a gravity assist manoeuvre – also known as a planetary flyby or swingby. The gravity assist is one of the most important techniques in deep-space navigation. By carefully passing close to a planet, a spacecraft can exchange orbital momentum with the much larger body. From the spacecraft’s perspective, this results in a change in trajectory and a significant

Myanmar scam centres booming despite crackdown, using Musk's Starlink
Tuesday, 14 October 2025 05:41
Scam centres in Myanmar blamed for swindling billions from victims across the world are expanding fast just months after a crackdown that was supposed to eradicate them, an AFP investigation has found.
New buildings have been springing up inside the heavily guarded compounds around Myawaddy on the Thailand-Myanmar border at a dizzying pace, with others festooned with dishes for Elon Musk's S Nickel and urea hints reshape story of early Earth oxygen rise
Tuesday, 14 October 2025 05:41
The appearance of oxygen in Earth's atmosphere was a turning point in the history of our planet, forever transforming the environment and setting the stage for complex life. This event, known as the Great Oxidation Event (GOE), occurred roughly 2.1 to 2.4 billion years ago. Yet, although oxygenic photosynthesis in cyanobacteria is thought to have evolved hundreds of millions of years earlier tha Compact fusion boom propels PLD REBCO tape production while spotlighting cost and stability hurdles
Tuesday, 14 October 2025 05:41
The rapid rise of compact fusion has ignited demand for high temperature superconducting tapes, creating a major opening for the HTS industry. Manufacturers are scaling pulsed laser deposition REBCO coated conductors to deliver performance and price points suited to fusion magnets and other high field systems.
PLD has matured from lab tools to industrial production through multi plume mult Breakthrough in UAV swarm intelligence as SRI redefines topology mapping
Tuesday, 14 October 2025 05:41
Unmanned swarm systems are revolutionizing fields from disaster relief to military reconnaissance, yet two obstacles have long hindered their reliability: precise trajectory prediction and transparent understanding of swarm interactions. Researchers at Northwestern Polytechnical University have now proposed a solution with their Swarm Relational Inference (SRI) model, published in the Chinese Jo Rice scientists use electrons to pattern light sources and wiring directly onto crystals
Tuesday, 14 October 2025 05:41
Rice University researchers used a focused electron beam to pattern device functions with submicron precision directly into an ultrathin crystal. The approach produced traces narrower than the width of a DNA helix that glow with bright blue light and conduct electricity, showing it could be used to manufacture compact on-chip wiring and built-in light sources.

Tuesday, 14 October 2025 05:41
In a breakthrough uniting photonics and condensed matter physics, researchers have developed a new optical technique to precisely control topological solitons - including skyrmions and antiskyrmions - inside ferroelectric materials. The discovery could pave the way for next-generation ultrafast memory and logic devices.

SpaceX's massive Starship rocket soared through Texas's golden-hour skies Monday before splashing down successfully, as the US company vies to silence critics who doubt Elon Musk's startup can deliver NASA's lunar projects on time.
In its 11th test voyage, the enormous rocket took off Monday from Space X's south Texas launch facilities just after 6:25pm local time (2325 GMT), according to a
