Scientists have reported the discovery of freshened groundwater offshore the Maltese Islands, which may constitute a new source of potable water. The study suggests that this offshore groundwater body is isolated and not actively recharged, posing sustainability concerns for its exploitation.
Scientists have observed a surprising competition between electromagnetic and neutron decay modes in a tin-133 nucleus. The discovery suggests that nuclear structure effects play a more significant role than previously thought, potentially altering our understanding of nuclear synthesis and the creation of heavy elements.
Researchers discovered a connection between nuclear particles and electromagnetic theories via plasmas, suggesting an equivalence between generalized Casimir forces and weak nuclear interactions. The study found that long-range electromagnetic fluctuations differ from those in vacuum conditions.
Researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography have captured a unique image of a site deep in the earth where magma is generated. The cross-section area of the melting region rivals the size of San Diego County, providing insights into the fundamental processes of plate tectonics.
Scientists have developed a technique to capture and convert ambient electromagnetic energy into usable power, which can be used to operate wireless sensors and microprocessors. The technology has the potential to provide a new source of energy for various applications, including airport security and industrial monitoring.
The new system corrects for atmospheric distortion, allowing for higher resolution images. The technology is scalable and suitable for large telescopes like the E-ELT, and can be integrated into existing ones.
Scientists at the University of Granada have developed a new condensed TLM node to model meta-materials, allowing for the creation of structures that can hide objects in conditions difficultly reachable with commercial software. This breakthrough uses a combination of electromagnetic parameters and judicious frame design to improve hid...
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has provided critical shielding data to NASA, enabling the resumption of space shuttle flights. The NIST system measures electromagnetic shielding characteristics in key locations, allowing NASA to set safe power levels on radar systems.
The DOE is exploring the potential of Active Denial Technology (ADT) to protect nuclear assets from intruders. A small-sized ADS system is being developed for DOE fixed-site applications, which has shown encouraging results in previous studies and human effectiveness testing.
Researchers at University of Illinois set new record for radar cross-section calculation, a measure of aircraft visibility to radar. The achievement uses advanced software and fast multipole method algorithm, reducing computation time and memory requirements.
