Self-assembling solar arrays as easy as mixing oil and water (Ars Technica)
Modern manufacturing techniques generally require high degrees of control and intervention to get materials linked together in precise configurations. But researchers have become interested in the prospect of self-assembling systems, which can simplify existing manufacturing and allow us to produce devices on the nanoscale. Above a certain size it’s possible to use gravity to... »
Rosetta spacecraft may help unravel cosmic mystery (w/ Video) (PhysOrg)
When Europe’s comet chaser Rosetta swings by Earth tomorrow for a critical gravity assist, tracking data will be collected to precisely measure the satellite’s change in orbital energy. The results could help unravel a cosmic mystery that has stumped scientists for two decades. (more…) Related items Green Earth Technologies Inks Sponsorship Deal With Gunnar Racing For 2010... »
