The name of Andreas’s second mission to the Space Station is ‘Huginn’. Inspired by Norse mythology, the name is taken from one of two ravens who serve the god Odin. Called Huginn and Muninn, these two birds sit on Odin’s shoulders and are sent flying across the world at dawn. They return at night to inform him of the many events they have seen and heard. In Old Norse, ‘Huginn’ means ‘thought’ and ‘Muninn’ means ‘mind’ or ‘memory’.

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 A better way to study ocean currents
Monday, 22 May 2023 06:02 Write a comment
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 Demystifying vortex rings in nuclear fusion, supernovae

Better understanding the formation of swirling, ring-shaped disturbances - known as vortex rings - could help nuclear fusion researchers compress fuel more efficiently, bringing it closer to becoming a viable energy source.
The model developed by researchers at the University of Michigan could aid in the design of the fuel capsule, minimizing the energy lost while trying to ignite the reac
