Callisto Technology Demonstration to Fly Aboard Orion for Artemis I
Houston TX (SPX) Jan 06, 2022
Flying on NASA's Orion spacecraft during the uncrewed Artemis I mission will be Callisto, a technology demonstration developed through a reimbursable space act agreement with Lockheed Martin. Lockheed Martin has partnered with Amazon, and Cisco to bring the Alexa digital assistant and Webex video collaboration aboard Orion's first flight test in deep space. Named after a mythological Greek

Matter and antimatter seem to respond equally to gravity
Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Jan 06, 2022
As part of an experiment to measure-to an extremely precise degree-the charge-to-mass ratios of protons and antiprotons, the RIKEN-led BASE collaboration at CERN, Geneva, Switzerland, has found that, within the uncertainty of the experiment, matter and antimatter respond to gravity in the same way. Matter and antimatter create some of the most interesting problems in physics today. They ar

New epoch of miniaturized Cherenkov detectors
Beijing, China (SPX) Jan 05, 2022
Cherenkov radiation refers to the photon emission from the swift charged particle moves with the velocity greater than the phase velocity of light in the surrounding materials. Ever since its experimental observation by a Soviet physicist P.A. Cherenkov in 1934, Cherenkov radiation has been widely explored and applied in many research fields ranging from cosmology and information, to medical and

Scientists invent lead-free composite shielding material for neutron and gamma-ray
Hefei, China (SPX) Jan 01, 2022
Dr. HUO Zhipeng and his student ZHAO Sheng from the Hefei Institutes of physical science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences recently developed a lead-free neutron and gamma ray composite shielding material that has high shielding properties and is environmentally friendly. Their results were published on Nuclear Materials and Energy. The composite, modified-gadolinium oxide/boron c

Quadrantid meteor shower offers good show outside of North America
Washington DC (UPI) Jan 3, 2022
The Quandrantid meteor shower helped kick off the first workday of the new year on Monday, with the peak somewhat tough to see in North America - but the rest of the world got a good show. The "Quads" as they are nicknamed, are slated to peak around 4 p.m. EDT (2100 GMT) on Monday, according to Margaret Campbell-Brown and Peter Brown in the 2022 version of the Observer's Handbook of th
