Nature Physics – Traditionally, chemical reactions have been investigated by tuning thermodynamic parameters, such as temperature or pressure. More recently, laser or magnetic field control methods have emerged to provide new experimental possibilities, in particular in the realm of cold collisions. The control of reaction pathways is also a critical component to implement molecular quantum …
MSNBC – Deep Sea Challenger is exploring and sampling a shallower part of the ocean floor Just days after the filmmaker plunged more than 35,756 feet (10,890 meters) into the Pacific Ocean to the Mariana Trench, the deepest place on Earth, his team piloted Cameron’s innovative submersible to yet another deep-sea spot. This time, members …
China’s first medium-low speed maglev line using Chinese technology is scheduled to launch in Beijing before March 2013 The medium-low speed S1 Line will make China only the second country, after Japan, to have such a line, said Chang, who led the research team that developed the magnetic levitation, or maglev, technology. As one of …
Carnival of space 203 is up at weareallintheGutter.com Discovery News – In 2010, scientists confirmed the enigmatic Saturnian moon Enceladus possesses a sub-surface ocean of liquid water. This groundbreaking discovery was made by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft currently in orbit around Saturn. Today, mission scientists have further analyzed Cassini data from various Enceladus flybys to find …
Samsung has shown off a prototype of an ultra-high-definition 3-D television. The 70-inch prototype uses a novel electronic circuitry to control eight million pixels. It’s not likely to go into volume production soon, and there isn’t any content to display on it, says Paul Semenza, a senior analyst at Display Search. Samsung is the latest …
