Current ultrasound technology is bulky and requires a trained technician to use. It uses sound waves transmitted through a liquid gel to map the internal landscape of your body. MIT engineers are aiming to change that. Their paper,…

The race to 6G requires the development of suitable magnetic materials. Scientists from Osaka Metropolitan University detected an unprecedented collective resonance at high frequencies in a magnetic superstructure called a chiral spin…

The Gaia space mission by the European Space Agency (ESA) is mapping our galaxy, providing unprecedented, detailed data that promises to revolutionize our knowledge of the solar system and beyond. Gaia, launched on December 19th, 2013,…

The Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE®) has opened nominations for eight different industry honors. The society will present these honors at the SCTE® Cable-Tec Expo® in Philadelphia, PA, this fall. The deadline for…

An F-104 Starfighter (hopefully named after the 1984 movie, the Last Starfighter or the Star Wars spacecraft) kicked off the grand opening of Gateway™: The Deep Space Launch Complex at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex on the 15th.…

The Geological Society of America's Connects 2022 is now open for registration. The event, to be held October 9th-12th in Denver, Colorado, will offer full online participation for those unable to attend in person. GSA will livestream…

A knee replacement creates nearly 30 pounds of waste, and almost half of that is biohazardous materials that require a great deal of energy to treat for safe disposal. Cataract surgery releases 400 pounds (181.8 kilograms) of carbon…

Scientists at the School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering at UNSW Sydney and ARC Centre of Excellence in Exciton Science have successfully tested a device capable of converting infrared heat into electrical power. The…

Our brains are more energy efficient than our computers, and scientists are one step closer to mimicking how our brains work. By combining storage and processing in a single component, a memristor, scientists hope to reduce the current…

Airbus has chosen Honeywell's Flight Management System (FMS) for its A320, A330, and A350 Aircraft. The new FMS promises to deliver more efficient, reliable, and safe operation of these widely used airplanes. The system will also include…

Between March 30th and April 11th, 2022, just over 21% of the US adult population reported symptoms of depression. This number is down from a high of over 30.2% from December 9th through the 21st of 2020. In 2019, depression symptoms were…

A low-cost, biodegradable, 3-D printed, self-healing jelly may be changing the face of soft robotics. The material can detect damage and initiate healing, all without human intervention. It can do so at room temperature rather than…

Losing weight is hard. And there are so many diets out there that all claim to be backed by science. Can getting more sleep help you lose weight? A new study by the University of Chicago Medicine claims that, yes, increasing your sleep…

Just over 2,537 light-years away shines the Andromeda Galaxy. It is the closest large galaxy to us and has a bright bar structure at its center, making it a "barred spiral galaxy." Astronomers have found an intermediate-mass black hole…

Researchers with the Mental Health and Climate Change Alliance (MHCCA) have reported that last summer's heat dome over western North America significantly raised anxieties about climate change. Their study, published in the Journal of…
