Webb sees Crab Nebula in new light
Monday, 30 October 2023 13:00
Although the Crab Nebula is one of the best-studied supernova remnants, questions about its progenitor, the nature of the explosion, and the composition of its ejecta still remain unanswered. The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope is on the case as it sleuths for any clues that remain within the supernova remnant. Webb’s infrared sensitivity, combined with data previously collected by other telescopes, is offering astronomers a more comprehensive understanding of the still-expanding scene.
ESA explores cultivated meat for space food
Monday, 30 October 2023 12:15
As we look ahead to long-term space missions, one of the big challenges is figuring out how to provide healthy and sustainable food for astronauts. To tackle this, ESA supported two research teams to investigate the possibility of cultivating meat in space.
ESA's new dimension in printed circuit design
Monday, 30 October 2023 12:03
This microscopic X-ray animation shows one of the key technologies allowing advanced computer functionality to fit within the smartphone in your pocket: ‘microvias’ are laser drilled holes a small fraction of a millimetre in diameter. A typical high-density interconnect printed circuit board might possess thousands of microvias, which serve to connect multiple functional layers.

Monday, 30 October 2023 02:52
Researchers from the Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute (KERI)-Drs. SuDong Park, Byungki Ryu, and Jaywan Chung-have formulated a new approach to thermoelectric efficiency and engineered a high-efficiency, multistage thermoelectric power generator module. This development has implications for the performance of Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators (RTGs), key power sources for space pro NASA-ISRO radar mission to provide dynamic view of forests, wetlands
Monday, 30 October 2023 02:52
NISAR will help researchers explore how changes in Earth's forest and wetland ecosystems are affecting the global carbon cycle and influencing climate change. Once it launches in early 2024, the NISAR radar satellite mission will offer detailed insights into two types of ecosystems - forests and wetlands - vital to naturally regulating the greenhouses gases in the atmosphere that are driving glo Adtran Rolls Out Dual-Source Timing Solutions for GNSS Security
