Gravity assists: trading energy with the planets
Video:
00:02:57
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
Light-driven control of topological structures unlocks new path for ultrafast memory
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.
The study, published in Physical Review B, was led by scientists from Google to invest $15 bn in India, build largest AI hub outside US
Google said Tuesday it will invest $15 billion in India over the next five years, as it announced a giant data centre and artificial intelligence base in the country.
"It is the largest AI hub that we are investing in anywhere outside of the US," Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian said at a ceremony in New Delhi.
Demand for AI tools and solutions is surging among businesses and individuals i Death of 'sweet king': AI chatbots linked to teen tragedy
A chatbot from one of Silicon Valley's hottest AI startups called a 14-year-old "sweet king" and pleaded with him to "come home" in passionate exchanges that would be the teen's last communications before he took his own life.
Megan Garcia's son, Sewell, had fallen in love with a "Game of Thrones"-inspired chatbot on Character.AI, a platform that allows users - many of them young people - Rice scientists use electrons to pattern light sources and wiring directly onto crystals
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.
"The electron beam essentiall Breakthrough in UAV swarm intelligence as SRI redefines topology mapping
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 Compact fusion boom propels PLD REBCO tape production while spotlighting cost and stability hurdles
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
