The materials key to many important applications in aerospace and energy generation must be able to withstand extreme conditions such as high temperatures and tensile stresses without failing. Now a team of MIT-led engineers reports a simple, inexpensive way to strengthen one of the key materials used today in such applications. Further, the team believes that their general approach, which

To study ocean currents, scientists release GPS-tagged buoys in the ocean and record their velocities to reconstruct the currents that transport them. These buoy data are also used to identify "divergences," which are areas where water rises up from below the surface or sinks beneath it. By accurately predicting currents and pinpointing divergences, scientists can more precisely forecast t

Quantum computers promise to solve challenging tasks in material science and cryptography that will remain out of reach even for the most powerful conventional supercomputers in the future. Yet, this will likely require millions of high-quality qubits due to the required error correction. Progress in superconducting processors advances quickly with a current qubit count in the few hundreds

Extreme environments in several critical industries - aerospace, energy, transportation and defense - require sensors to measure and monitor numerous factors under harsh conditions to ensure human safety and integrity of mechanical systems. In the petrochemical industry, for example, pipeline pressures must be monitored at climates ranging from hot desert heat to near arctic cold. Various

ESA Astronaut Andreas Mogensen will fly to the International Space Station for his second mission called Huginn, in late summer of 2023. It will be a mission of firsts for both Andreas and ESA. 

ESA astronaut Andreas Mogensen will conduct a variety of science experiments and technology demonstrations during his Huginn mission.

The global economic slowdown and domestic political turmoil have not impaired the long-term prospects of Israel's vaunted hi-tech industry, officials and insiders say, despite a recent decline in hiring in the sector. Nearly 18 percent of Israel's gross domestic product comes from the tech sector, which employs 12 percent of the workforce, generates nearly a third of its income tax and const

Axiom Space’s second private astronaut mission is on its way to the International Space Station after a launch May 21.

Vancouver-based EarthDaily Analytics is offering access to the French-Israeli Vegetation and Environment monitoring on a New Micro-Satellite (VENµS) mission through Amazon Web Services.
