NASA is going to launch its next science mission, named Parker Solar Probe, on 11th August 2018. The spacecraft will eventually get within 4 million miles of the surface of the sun. It will fly through an intensely hot atmosphere, the corona. To put...
Researchers used X-ray polarimetry to understand the effect of gravity on matter near the black hole. They discovered that the corona is large and spread unevenly around the black hole, in a binary system named Cygnus X-1. Black holes are known...
New recurrent convolutional neural network can automatically map neurons in the brain. It provides 10 times more accurate results than previous automated techniques. The human brain contains more than 86 billion neurons, and a more or less equal...
Researchers analyzed the relationship between phone radiation and growth of memory performance. They found that regular use of mobile phones can damage memory in young people. Teenagers who hold their mobiles to their right ear were particularly...
DARPA has selected the Silent Falcon UAS Technologies for its power beaming demonstration. The aim of the project is refuel/recharge an electric unmanned aircraft while in flight, using a high-intensity laser beam. Although the notion of wireless...
Researchers used neutron diffraction line-scanning method to examine the residual stress in automotive parts. They used VULCAN instrument to investigate high-strength steel in different conditions. The demand of lightweight and stronger material...
New algorithm, named Ensemble Poisson Kalman Filter (EnPKF), can suggest the area where crime is most likely to happen within the next hour. It can also tell what resources would be required to address such crimes. Police and crime branch...
Scientists generate pulses shorter than the wave period, using an optical parametric amplifier. It can be used to observe how electrons move within atoms. Over the past few years, high-energy, few-cycle mid-infrared pulses have attracted a lot of...
The World War II might be the bloodiest war in the history of mankind, but nothing affected Europe politically, socially and economically more than the WWI. Initially originated from the Balkans, the World War I lasted for four years from 1914-1918...
Researchers develop a new organic molecule that offers the high-performance, longest-lasting organic flow battery so far. It has tens of thousands of charge-discharge cycles with a degradation rate of 3% per year. Fossil Fuels are polluting our...
Ytterbium-based materials can amplify quantum signals to diffuse them over long distances. The material can preserve photons (carrying quantum data) from external disturbances so that they can be synchronized. Quantum cryptography is an attempt to...
A new machine learning model predicts what audiences will most likely watch a movie based on its trailer. It uses Collaborative Filtering method to extract trailer features like faces, objects, landscapes, etc. These features are then combined...
