[ad_1] An orbital NASA instrument designed mainly to advance studies of airborne dust and its effects on climate change has proven adept at another key Earth-science function – detecting large, worldwide emissions of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. The device, called an imaging spectrometer, has identified more than 50 methane “super-emitters” in Central Asia, the […]

[ad_1] Textile engineers at Shinshu University in Japan have woven a fabric that can heat up or cool down depending on the outside temperature. The fabric is woven out of super-fine nano-threads that contain a special “phase-change” material (PCM) that can store and release large amounts of heat. “This fabric can potentially be used as […]

[ad_1] OSIRIS-REx, NASA’s first spacecraft designed for returning an asteroid sample, began its two-year journey back to Earth in 2021 and it is now on track to deliver a sample of the asteroid Bennu back to our planet on September 24, 2023. Here is how NASA plans to execute the “parcel drop” back to Earth. […]

[ad_1] Astronomers from the Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) and the University of Montpellier have created an “early warning” system that can alert astronomers when a massive star is about to end its life in supernova explosion. In the last phase of their lives, these massive “red supergiant” stars will become around a hundred times […]

[ad_1] When you are with a baby, you might have noticed that you speak to them with a higher-pitched, slow-paced and animated voice. You probably already know that other people also speak in a similar way but recent research shows that this “baby talk” displays similarities across many languages. In scientific research, this “baby talk,” […]
