Spherical Radio Telescope - China

This photo taken on September 25, 2024 shows the newly installed first test prototype of the Core Array of China's Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope under the starry sky in southwest China's Guizhou Province. Wednesday marks the eighth anniversary of the launch of China's Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST). On the same day, the construction of the Core Array of FAST started, highlighting China's growing potential in global radio astronomy research. As a proposed extension of FAST, the world's largest single-dish radio telescope, the Core Array integrates 24 secondary 40-meter antennas implanted within 5 kilometers of the FAST site. The Chinese-designed array will combine the unprecedented sensitivity of FAST with a high angular resolution, thereby exceeding the capabilities at similar frequencies of next-generation arrays in the world.

James Webb View Of The Ring Nebula

The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has observed the well-known Ring Nebula with unprecedented detail. Formed by a star throwing off its outer layers as it runs out of fuel, the Ring Nebula is an archetypal planetary nebula. Also known as M57 and NGC 6720, it is both relatively close to Earth at roughly 2,500 light-years away. This new image provides unprecedented spatial resolution and spectral sensitivity. For example, the intricate details of the filament structure of the inner ring are particularly visible in this dataset. There are some 20,000 dense globules in the nebula, which are rich in molecular hydrogen. In contrast, the inner region shows very hot gas. The main shell contains a thin ring of enhanced emission fromcarbon-based molecules known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Roughly ten concentric arcs are located just beyond the outer edge of the main ring. The arcs are thought to originate from the interaction of the central star with a low-mass companion orbiting at a distance

The research, conducted by scientists from the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC) and other institutes, was published in the journal Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics Thursday. Gravitational waves are the "ripples" produced by massive objects such as black holes as they rapidly move through the fabric of spacetime. The scientists monitored 57 millisecond pulsars with regular cadence for 41 months by taking advantage of the high sensitivity of FAST. Eventually, they found key evidence for quadrupole correlation signatures compatibl

This is the first time in the world that a robot has been able to detect a smell in its surroundings using a biosensor, TAU said, adding that it even sent electrical signals that could be classified according to the smell type. In experiments, the researchers connected the biological sensor, based on a locust antenna, to an electronic system. Using a machine learning algorithm, they sorted odors with a sensitivity 10,000 times higher than existing electronic devices. The new biohybrid system could thus identify a wide range of smells, such as geranium, lemon, marzipan, and even some types of Scotch whisky, then the researchers were able to cre

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an emergency use authorization on Thursday for the country's first COVID-19 diagnostic test that detects chemical compounds in breath samples associated with a SARS-CoV-2 infection. The test can be performed in environments where the patient specimen is both collected and analyzed, such as doctor's offices, hospitals and mobile testing sites, using an instrument about the size of a piece of carry-on luggage, according to the FDA. The results of the test will show in less than three minutes. The performance of the test, called InspectIR COVID-19 Breathalyzer, was validated in a large study of 2,409 individuals, including those with and without symptoms. In the study, the test was shown to have 91.2 percent sensitivity and 99.3 percent specificity, according to the FDA.

NASA Delays The James Webb Space Telescope Launch Again

★Handout photo dated June 27, 2014 of The James Webb Space Telescope (sometimes called JWST or Webb) is an orbiting infrared observatory that will complement and extend the discoveries of the Hubble Space Telescope, with longer wavelength coverage and greatly improved sensitivity. Last summer, NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) set an October 31, 2021, launch date for the $ 10 billion James Webb Space Telescope, but it's having to delay the science observatory's trip into space once again. Thankfully, the launch might take place just a few weeks later, in November or early December. A rescheduled date is unlikely to be confirmed until later this summer or perhaps in the fall. The instrument, successor to NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, which is the largest science observatory ever placed into space, will launch on a European Ariane 5 rocket from a spaceport in French Guiana.

Kanden Engineering's Newly Introduced VR Device for Experiencing Danger

Kanden Engineering Co., Ltd. (Kita Ward, Osaka City) expanded its facilities for experiencing dangerous acts during construction, inspection, and diagnosis of electrical equipment, etc., and opened the new "Safety and Technology Training Center" (Settsu City, Osaka Prefecture) on April 14. The facility will be used to train about 600 people a year, including all employees and subcontractors. The company analyzed past occupational accidents such as electric shock, crashes and falls, and equipment accidents caused by mishandling, and compiled a booklet with mottoes and lessons learned, "100 Failures of Engineering Version," which took two years to complete. The related investment was about 45 million yen. Mr. Aoshima hopes that the booklet and the facility will "help people improve their sensitivity to danger with their minds and bodies.
