Sensors were repurposed on the Curiosity rover and turned them into gravimeters, which measure changes in gravitational pull. That enabled them to measure the subtle tug from rock layers on lower Mount Sharp, which rises 3 miles (5 kilometers) from the base of Gale Crater and which Curiosity has been climbing since 2014. The results? …
Researchers have built a sheet of nickel with nanoscale pores that make it as strong as titanium but four to five times lighter. Titanium is as strong as steel but about twice as light. This new material is strong as steel but ten times lighter. The empty space of the pores, and the self-assembly process …
