Science and technology, explained simply
The latest military satellite SATurnin-1, developed for the Czech Ministry of Defense, has successfully transmitted its first photographs of Earth from orbit. Equipped with advanced technologies and artificial intelligence, this spacecraft has become an important step in developing the Czech space program and strengthening the country’s defense capabilities. Technological Breakthrough in Czech Space Industry The […]
According to a survey conducted by Nature magazine, a significant portion of American scientists are considering relocating from the USA due to Donald Trump administration’s policies. The survey, which included about 1,650 respondents, revealed that over 1,200 scientists are seriously considering moving to Canada or EU countries. This is especially true for graduate students who […]
Specialists of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration of the United States published amazing photos of the Cygnus cargo spacecraft of the American company Northrop Grumman on the social network X. The images were taken before Cygnus left the International Space Station on July 12 and burned up in the Earth’s atmosphere. The images from […]
The European Space Agency (ESA) plans to send the Ramses spacecraft to track the asteroid Apophis as it approaches our planet on April 13, 2029. The 375-meter-diameter asteroid will fly at a distance of only 32,000 kilometers from Earth – closer than some satellites in orbit. Despite its close passage, Apophis does not pose a […]
Scientists from Europe have made a breakthrough in the development of materials for harvesting energy directly on chips. The new research could lead to more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly electronic devices. A research team from Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom has created a germanium-tin alloy that can convert the heat generated by processors into […]
NASA has released a new video showing the Lunar Gateway station in detail. The video offers a tour of the space station that will orbit the Moon starting with the Artemis IV mission in 2028. The video demonstrates the various modules and systems on board the station, including a powerful solar panel that will provide […]
Using data obtained by the Hubble and James Webb space telescopes, experts from the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration visualized the accumulation of interstellar gas and dust in the Eagle Nebula in the form of three-dimensional structures. The remnants of the central part of the Eagle Gas Dust Nebula in the constellation Cygnus, called […]
A team of researchers from Stanford University is working to improve the technology for storing renewable energy using liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC). This new technology can significantly improve the storage of electricity in the electric grid, especially in the state of California, where renewable energy sources are actively used. Каліфорнія значною мірою покладається на […]
SpaceX has launched Starship for the fourth time, sending a 122-meter rocket from its Starbase launch site near Boca Chica in southern Texas. The mission was successful for the first time: first, the first stage made a soft landing, and then the ship itself. The fourth test flight had two main goals: to ensure the […]
As wearable devices and the Internet of Things evolve, a sustainable solution for powering wireless devices and sensors becomes essential. Thermoelectric generators that convert waste heat into electricity can be used. A research team led by Masakazu Nakamura of the Nara Institute of Science and Technology (NAIST), Japan, is working on flexible, wearable thermoelectric generators. […]
