FAA requires SpaceX to make environmental changes to Starbase in Texas
Wednesday, 15 June 2022 11:52
The Federal Aviation Administration on Monday said SpaceX will be required to make more than 75 changes to the orbital launch program at its Starbase launch site in Texas after determining there would be some environmental impacts to the surrounding area.
Elon Musk's SpaceX must obtain either an experimental permit or a vehicle operator license from the FAA for Starship and Super Heavy Air-breathing hypersonic weapon delivers value and performance

Two core technologies are at the heart of the U.S. pursuit of hypersonic weapons, or those that travel Mach 5 or faster: scramjets, which derive propulsion from the air around them, and boost-glide systems, which use a rocket motor to reach the edge of space and then descend to their target.

Imagining our everyday life without lasers is difficult. We use lasers in printers, CD players, pointers, measuring devices, and so on. What makes lasers so special is that they use coherent waves of light: all the light inside a laser vibrates completely in sync.
Meanwhile, quantum mechanics tells us that particles like atoms should also be thought of as waves. As a result, we can build ' Airbus brings leading-edge digital capabilities to Multi-Domain Military Operations

In today's world of rapidly evolving global security challenges, the ability to collect, analyse and utilise data for decision-making and response is more important than ever.
By applying its leading-edge digital capabilities to Multi-Domain Military Operations, Airbus provides seamless integration solutions that connect mission-critical military platforms and systems worldwide across all Study reveals how some high-energy particle 'jets' lose energy
Wednesday, 15 June 2022 11:52
Scientists studying particle collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have revealed how certain particle-jets lose energy as they traverse the unique form of nuclear matter created in these collisions. The results, published in Physical Review C, should help them learn about key "transport properties" of this hot particle soup, known as a quark-gluon plasma (QGP).

If you could immerse yourself in a quantum fluid, you would hear every event twice, because they support two sound waves with different speeds.
The researchers in their experiment have realized this remarkable property for the first time in a three-dimensional quantum gas, instead of a quantum liquid. They achieved this result through cooling a gas of potassium atoms trapped by laser beams Emulator reveals the intricacies of light behavior in complex evolving systems

University of Central Florida researchers are part of a team who have revealed, for the first time, the intricacies of how light behaves in advanced dynamical optical systems with configurations known as non-Hermitian arrangements.
In non-Hermitian systems, allowed energy values create self-intersecting surfaces with a unique topology and branch points, which are known as exceptional point Elusive particle discovered in a material through tabletop experiment

An interdisciplinary team led by Boston College physicists has discovered a new particle - or previously undetectable quantum excitation - known as the axial Higgs mode, a magnetic relative of the mass-defining Higgs Boson particle, the team reports in the online edition of the journal Nature.
The detection a decade ago of the long-sought Higgs Boson became central to the understanding of From the Earth to the Moon and on to Mars – ESA and NASA take decisions and plan for the future

The next steps in exploring and using space for the benefit of European citizens were this week on the agenda at ESA’s Council meeting in ESA/ESTEC, the Netherlands on 14 and 15 June. The possibility of the first-ever European astronaut to set foot on the Moon, a telecommunication satellite for lunar exploration and a mission to return precious rock samples from Mars were all discussed.

Hera asteroid mission’s first step Supermoon delights skygazers around the globe
Wednesday, 15 June 2022 07:41
From Frankfurt and New York to Istanbul and Beijing, skygazers could enjoy a beautiful supermoon rise over the horizon in an impressive astronomic spectacle.
The full moon appeared bigger than normal and sometimes slightly orange-colored as it lit skies around the globe.
It reached its full stage on Tuesday during a phenomenon known as a supermoon because of its proximity to Earth. It's also referred to as the "Strawberry Moon" because it's the full moon at strawberry harvest time.
In Frankfurt, it rose behind the German city's banking district's skyline, while in Beijing the forbidden city's roof decorations depicting sacred beasts were silhouetted in sharp black by the moon.
The moon also illuminated New York City's Statue of Liberty and shone on the pillars of the ancient temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion south of Athens, Greece.
