Researchers have made significant progress in accurately counting and objectively analyzing close encounters between drones and airplanes. This new method eliminates the reliance solely on pilot sightings, providing a more comprehensive understanding of these incidents. The study, conducted by Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and Unmanned Robotic Systems Analysis (URSA), examined a large dataset of piloted aircraft
For over 150 years, Kirchhoff’s law of thermal radiation has stood as an undisputed principle in the field of physics. However, recent groundbreaking research conducted by Harry Atwater’s lab at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) challenges this long-held belief. Through the development of an innovative device, the traditional relationship between an object’s absorbed and
Recent research has uncovered a startling truth about the Colorado River Basin – climate change has led to the depletion of over 40 trillion liters (10 trillion gallons) of water between 2000 and 2021. To comprehend the enormity of this loss, one must envision the entire volume of Lake Mead, which is equivalent to this
In the realm of materials, two main categories dominate: metals and insulators. Metals, such as copper and iron, possess free-flowing electrons that enable them to conduct electricity. On the other hand, insulators like glass and rubber have tightly bound electrons and therefore do not conduct electricity. This stark contrast in behavior has long fascinated scientists
Researchers in various scientific fields have been striving to develop innovative techniques for imaging weakly scattering phase objects, such as cells. Chemical stains and fluorescent tags have traditionally been used to enhance image contrast, but these methods often involve complex and potentially toxic sample preparation steps. However, a breakthrough in the form of quantitative phase
In a bold move that has sparked mixed reactions, Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, has unveiled a new logo for Twitter. The iconic blue bird that has long been associated with the social media platform is being replaced by a minimalist Art Deco letter X. This rebranding signifies the end of an era and
Late on Saturday night, Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter, hinted at a possible departure from the platform’s well-known blue cartoon bird branding. In a tweet, Musk mentioned an “everything app” called “X” that he had previously alluded to. He stated that the Twitter brand, along with the bird imagery associated with it, would soon
A recent study conducted on laboratory samples has uncovered a fascinating discovery – the key components of espresso coffee may have the ability to protect against protein clumping in the brain, a condition linked to Alzheimer’s disease. This research opens up an exciting new avenue for scientists to explore in terms of potential treatment options.
Our understanding of the gut microbiome has expanded significantly in recent years, but it is just one piece of the puzzle. The human body is home to a diverse array of microbiomes that play crucial roles in our overall well-being. While the gut microbiome has received much attention, we must not overlook the importance of
Unions have long been advocates for workers’ rights, aiming to improve working conditions, wages, and safety standards. Chris Smalls, the president of the first union at an Amazon warehouse in the U.S., believes that the labor movement and unions as a whole are making significant progress. Smalls finds encouragement in the fact that even 10-year-old
A recent study conducted by researchers Vinod Solet and Sudhir Pandey at the Indian Institute of Technology Mandi aims to determine the thermal properties of advanced solid materials. As the energy demands of our modern world continue to rise, it is crucial to comprehend how heat flows through the materials used in our technology. This
