China’s lead will not be confined to gross domestic product. China is already the world’s largest exporter of …
Electromagnetic Rail Gun (EMRG): Providing Greater Flexibility for the 21st Century (17 pages) Initial operational capability of the EMRG at the full 64-MJ (megajoule) tactical energy level (222 NM) is projected for the 2020 to 2025 timeframe. The current railgun development program has been firing a 33 megajoule railgun with muzzle velocities up to 7.5 …
The latest General Atomics video of the navy railgun project shows off a streamlined projectile with a sabot. Blitzer will provide transformational, leap-ahead air defense capability against a number of threats for both naval and land-based applications. With a muzzle velocity of more than twice that of conventional systems, Blitzer provides significant increases in standoff …

Slate – If you’ve got an Android phone, try this: Hit the microphone icon on the home screen, then ask, “How many angstroms in a mile?” Use your normal speaking voice—don’t speak slowly or strain to over-pronounce “angstrom.” So long as you have a good Internet connection, the phone shouldn’t take more than a second …
The effusive source emits molecules that are velocity-selected by the three delimiters S1, S2 and S3. The KDTL interferometer is composed of two SiNx gratings G1 and G3, as well as the standing light wave G2. The optical dipole force grating imprints a phase modulation ϕ(x)∝αopt·P/(v·wy) onto the matter wave. Here αopt is the optical …
India gender imbalance is heading to 110 boys to 100 girls The news from India’s 2011 census is almost all heartening. Literacy is up; life expectancy is up; family size is stabilising. But there is one grim exception. In 2011 India counted only 914 girls aged six and under for every 1,000 boys. Parents choose …
The vertical axis shows the number of events – where each event is the production of a W boson and a pair of particle jets – in proton-antiproton collisions at the Tevatron. The horizontal axis shows the mass of the pair of jets. Physicists expected the number of events to fall off as the mass …
