Years before the launch in February 2024, mission leaders from NASA teamed with dozens of applied scientists and environmental professionals to prepare forContinue reading “Early Adopters of NASA’s PACE Data to Study Air Quality, Ocean Health”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Science in Space: March 2024 Optical fibers are used on Earth and in space for applications in medicine, defense, cybersecurity, and telecommunications. Parabolic research showed that optical fibers produced in microgravity can be higher quality than those made in normal gravity, and the International Space Station provides a potential platformContinue reading “Optical Fiber Production”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image shows LEDA 42160, a galaxy about 52 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Virgo. The dwarf galaxy is one of many forcing its way through the comparatively dense gas in the massive Virgo cluster of galaxies. The pressure exerted by this intergalactic gas, known asContinue reading “Hubble Views a Galaxy Under Pressure”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Editor’s Notes (March 2024): Oakwood University and its small business partner—SSS Optical Technologies, LLC—were awarded a STTR Phase II in November 2023 to continue their work. Also in 2023, M-STTR awards became part of what is now MPLAN. In 2022, Oakwood University, a Historically Black College based in Huntsville, Alabama,Continue reading “Partnerships that Prepare for Success: The Research Institution Perspective on the M-STTR Initiative”

These films are highly reflective and must be made very thin, on the order of a few nanometers, in order to allow light to interact with their entire thickness. This leadsContinue reading “Transparent Superconductors for Single-photon Detectors”
