MIT researcher proposes sensor system to detect nuclear weapons in space
A theoretical sensor system could identify radioactive materials on satellites with 99% accuracy under specific conditions, addressing a verification gap in space law.
New Flapping Robot Swims And Flies Like Diving Bird
The flapping-wing aerial-aquatic vehicle (FAAV) mimics diving seabirds by transitioning between air and water. Researchers believe it could be used to monitor coral reefs, fish stocks, and coastal erosion.
Scientist proposes tiny satellites to sniff out nuclear weapons in space
A feasibility study proposes using small satellites to identify the radioactive signatures of thermonuclear warheads in orbit.
Graphene can host multiple superconducting states, MIT study finds
A new study reveals that naturally occurring rhombohedral graphene exhibits unconventional superconductivity that can be enhanced by magnetic fields.
