RIT scientists help rediscover earliest known star map using multispectral imaging
Rochester NY (SPX) Jan 18, 2023
Scientists uncovered what they believe to be the first astronomical map. The discovery, outlined in recent studies published in the Journal for the History of Astronomy and the Classical Quarterly, was made in part thanks to multispectral imaging conducted by researchers at Rochester Institute of Technology's Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science.

New explanation for Jupiter's two massive asteroid swarms
Abu Dhabi UAE (SPX) Jan 18, 2023
An international team of scientists including NYUAD researcher Nikolaos Georgakarakos and others from the US, Japan, and China led by Jian Li from Nanjing University, has developed new insights that may explain the numerical asymmetry of the L4 and L5 Jupiter Trojan swarms, two clusters containing more than 10,000 asteroids that move along Jupiter's orbital path around the sun.

Space Shuttle Columbia launched for the last time 20 years ago in mission that ended in tragedy
It was a cool Thursday morning in Cape Canaveral as the nation's first space shuttle was about to make its last ever trip into space.
Space Shuttle Columbia lifted off at 10:39 a.m. Eastern time on Jan. 16, 2003, from Kennedy Space Center's Launch Pad 39-A with a crew of seven.
"The Lord has blessed us with a beautiful day here," mission commander Rick Husband said over the radio just before liftoff. "We appreciate all of the hard work everyone has put into this, and we are ready to go."
Husband's crew were shuttle pilot William McCool, Michael Anderson, David Brown, Kalpana Chawla, Laurel Clark and Ilan Ramon, who was the first Israeli to go into space.
All seven died 16 days later when the shuttle disintegrated on re-entry, the result of a chunk of insulating foam that had broken off from the external fuel tank and hit the left wing of the orbiter during the launch. The damage was fatal as the extreme heat would be the vessel's demise as it streaked across the skies over Texas.
Columbia's final mission was the orbiter's 28th overall, the 113th mission for the shuttle program.

Start ups grow diamond qubits
Badem, Germany (SPX) Jan 13, 2023
Qubits are the processing units of quantum computers. They can be created in various different ways. One option is the creation of solid-state spin qubits in materials such as diamonds, in which qubits get stuck in defects that are specifically inserted into the structure of diamond crystals. The German Aerospace Center has now awarded two contracts related to this activity as part of the DLR Qu

New spin control method brings billion-qubit quantum chips closer
Sydney, Australia (SPX) Jan 13, 2023
Australian engineers have discovered a new way of precisely controlling single electrons nestled in quantum dots that run logic gates. What's more, the new mechanism is less bulky and requires fewer parts, which could prove essential to making large-scale silicon quantum computers a reality.
The serendipitous discovery, made by engineers at the quantum computing start-up Diraq and UNSW Syd

Runaway West Antarctic ice retreat can be slowed by climate-driven ocean temps
Cambridge UK (SPX) Jan 17, 2023
An international team of researchers has combined satellite imagery and climate and ocean records to obtain the most detailed understanding yet of how the West Antarctic Ice Sheet - which contains enough ice to raise global sea level by 3.3 metres - is responding to climate change.
The researchers, from the University of Cambridge, the University of Edinburgh and the University of Washingt
