AI Program Helps Identify Variables in Physical Concepts

The program uses a video camera to observe the dynamics and then processes the information to tell the minimal set of fundamental variables. To understand any physical phenomenon, one must identify the variables that are responsible for it. While scientists are familiar with the variables for most physical connects, some have remained to be elusive. Now, researchers from Columbia University...

NASA Studies Formation of Ice Crystals in Atmosphere That Pose Danger to Aircraft

NASA has conducted such research campaigns earlier too. But, this time, the researchers focussed on human-made aerosols. With an aim to improve aircraft jet engine designs and bolster aviation safety, NASA is studying the formation of ice crystals at high altitudes through its DC-8 airborne laboratory. The study is part of NASA’s High Ice Water Content (HIWC) research activity. The...

Google Pixel 7 Could Feature Hall Sensor, May Bring Back Support for Flip Covers

This lineup is expected to include regular Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. Google Pixel 6a recently went on sale for the first time in India on Thursday. The company could now shift its focus towards the Pixel 7 lineup, which is expected to include the vanilla Pixel 7 and the Pixel 7 Pro. This lineup is believed to include...

Distant Dwarf Galaxy Formation Spotted by Research Team With Indian Scholar

The ultraviolet imaging telescope (UVIT) onboard India’s AstroSat was used for the study. A first-of-its-kind study has found new stars forming beyond the visible boundaries about 1.5 to 3.9 billion light years away from the Earth, according to an article by a research scholar of Tezpur University. Anshuman Borgohain, the research scholar was a member of the team of astronomers...

Chandra X-Ray Observatory Reveals Information on the Events Around a Rejected Star

Infrared data from the now-retired Spitzer Space Telescope of NASA showed a spectacular shockwave that appeared red and green. Some fascinating features of a star, which was likely ejected from its birthplace due to a powerful explosion, has been revealed through the data received from the US space agency NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory. The star, Zeta Ophiuchi, has a complicated...

New Technique Allows Researchers to Assess Life Cycle of Supermassive Black Holes

The study found the amount of dust and gas around supermassive black holes depended upon the pace of their growth. Black holes are said to be present at the centre of nearly all huge galaxies where they feed on galactic dust, gas, and stars. They are some of the most mysterious celestial phenomena that have fascinated space enthusiasts and scientists alike....

New Method to Create 3D Printed Sensors Could Help Scientists Predict Weather, Study Climate Change

The 3D printed plasma sensors are designed CubeSats used for communication and environmental monitoring. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers have developed a way to create low-cost plasma sensors, which are the first to get completely manufactured digitally, for orbiting spacecraft. In contrast to the plasma sensors that get manufactured in a cleanroom, the 3D-printed sensors can be produced for tens...

New Quantum Cryptography Method Could Provide More Secure Encryption

Researchers hope that their method will now help generate secret keys with uncharacterised and untrustworthy devices. In today’s world of growing internet usage, various complex encryption techniques are used to secure crucial data and to make sure that it is only accessible to the rightful owner. However, with the rapidly advancing technology, it is possible that futuristic quantum computers could...

Magnetism in Ancient Crystals Reveals the History of Earth’s Inner Core and How It Avoided Mars-Like Fate

The study suggests that the formation of Earth’s solid inner core is likely the direct cause of the recovery of Earth’s magnetic field. Till today, not much is known about the Earth’s inner core and its contribution to the sustenance of life on our planet. However, that may change soon, thanks to an analysis of ancient rock crystals by researchers...
