The escalating challenge of space debris in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) has sparked significant concern among space agencies and operators. With thousands of satellites, spent rocket stages, and fragments from disintegration and collisions whirling around the Earth, the risk of potentially hazardous collisions has never been higher.

Jellyfish can't do much besides swim, sting, eat, and breed. They don't even have brains. Yet, these simple creatures can easily journey to the depths of the oceans in a way that humans, despite all our sophistication, cannot. But what if humans could have jellyfish explore the oceans on our behalf, reporting back what they find? New research conducted at Caltech aims to make that a realit

Ottawa, Canada (SPX) Mar 01, 2024
For a long time, it was thought that amorphous solids do not selectively absorb light because of their disordered atomic structure. However, a new uOttawa study disproves this theory and shows that amorphous solids actually exhibit dichroism, meaning that they selectively absorb light of different polarizations. Researchers at the University of Ottawa have found that using helical light be
