NASA’s exoplanet hunter has discovered a 3-star system
Using NASA’s Transiting Extrasolar Survey Satellite, or TESS, scientists have spotted a triple-star system that could easily fit between the Sun and its closest planet, Mercury. The system, known as TIC 290061484, consists of twin stars that orbit each other once every 1.8 Earth days, as well as a third star that orbits the pair once every 25 Earth days.
The early universe was probably full of black holes
Supermassive black holes, or super black holes, are some of the most impressive, at about a billion times the mass of the Sun, yet the scariest objects in the universe that we know have existed for incredibly long periods of time. In fact, astronomers have identified extremely bright compact sources at the centers of galaxies called quasars (rapidly expanding super black holes) when the universe was less than a billion years old. Now, a new study from Stockholm University researchers has used observations from the Hubble Space Telescope to show that far more superblack holes, which were much less luminous, existed in the early universe than previously estimated.
New advances in quantum technologies with 3D printed ceramics
Quantum technologies have the ability to revolutionize computing, communication and sensors by harnessing the unique phenomena of the quantum world. In recent years, significant progress has been made in the development of quantum devices, but the transfer of these advanced technologies from the laboratory to real-world applications faces significant obstacles. The problems are exacerbated when the materials used to make the device enclosure lead to instability of the quantum states. In order to solve this problem and increase the power, portability and practicality of quantum devices, the researchers of “Ferdinand Braun Institute” (FBH) in Germany have proposed that the important components of quantum devices be produced from ceramics instead of metals.
Japan‘s artificial sun stole the lead from China
A tokamak device jointly built by Japan and Europe has achieved a plasma volume of 60 cubic meters. This achievement has been officially confirmed by Guinness World Records. The experimental JT-60SA superconducting plasma device, also known as the world’s largest tokamak, achieved this feat. This device was built with the aim of achieving the initial practical application of fusion energy.
Our moon may have been stolen
The question of the origin of our unusual moon remains an unanswered question. Currently, the main theory is that the Moon is either a child of the Earth or its sibling, born of the same material in the same region of the solar system. New research challenges this notion, suggesting that the moon could have been born elsewhere in the solar system and later embraced by Earth’s gravity. Astronomers Darren Williams and Michael Zugger of Pennsylvania State University have performed calculations and found that gravitational capture of moons is possible for rocky planets like Earth, and thus the likely origin of our present-day Earth-Moon system.
Faraja signed 3 memorandums of understanding to exploit indigenous technologies
The Police Command of the Islamic Republic of Iran (Faraja) on the sidelines of the police intelligence event, by concluding 3 cooperation agreements, took advantage of local technologies to meet their needs. In order to meet the technological and intelligent needs of the police by using local products, this memorandum was concluded between the Deputy of Information and Communication Technology and Faraja Cyber Defense – Applied Research Center as the first party and one of the knowledge-based companies.
Sales growth of 925 Hemti by knowledge bases/ supply of 60 products to make police services smarter
The Director of Development of Innovation and Prosperity Fund, referring to the growth of knowledge-based companies to 10,124 companies, said: The sales of knowledge-based companies have increased from one to 925. Mostafa Baghdadi, in the third specialized event of supply and demand of new and intelligent police technologies, which is being held since this morning at the place of the Innovation and Prosperity Fund, considered the establishment of this fund in line with the law to support knowledge-based companies and added: Article 5 of this law The establishment of a financial institution to support knowledge-based companies was emphasized. This fund is a financial institution of the board of trustees headed by the president.
Faraja cooperation to create transformation in 4 fields of intelligence
Stating that every organization should look for transformation and change, otherwise it will face definite failure, the vice president of information and communication technology and cyber defense of Faraja said: Creating transformation in Faraja has started and is followed by future research. Guard Brigadier Ahmed Dolatkhah, in the third specialized event on the supply and demand of modern and intelligent police technologies, which is being held since this morning at the Innovation and Prosperity Fund, pointed out the necessity and importance of making the police service smarter, and said: “To strengthen this issue, we need to use We are from all the capacities of the country, and one of these capacities is the capacity of knowledge-based companies and collections related to the vice president’s science, technology and knowledge-based economy.
China has achieved the world’s first long-distance terahertz communication
For the first time in the world, using terahertz wireless communication technology, Chinese researchers have successfully transmitted high-quality video signals over a distance of 1.2 kilometers. This is a major milestone in the development of next-generation communication systems. It also sets a new record for the longest terahertz wireless transmission experiment achieved to date in the frequency range above 0.5 terahertz.
Elon Musk has swallowed the entire space industry!
Since launching SpaceX in 2002 as a private rocket launch company to compete with Boeing and Lockheed Martin, Elon Musk has methodically moved to take over the entire space industry, or at least take over the most profitable company.
The competition between China and the United States to determine the time on the moon
The world’s two space superpowers, China and the United States, appear to be locked in a race to decide the clock on the moon, and the winner will leave its mark on the history of space exploration and set a new standard for future lunar missions. The United States and its space partners are trying to establish a special time zone for the moon. Meanwhile, U.S. rivals China and Russia are not in the U.S.’s shadow, and Beijing must follow its own lunar navigation and timing system.
Combining agriculture with solar energy to achieve zero carbon emissions
As global pressure for zero carbon emissions intensifies, scientists are turning to agrivoltaics—a combination of agriculture and solar energy—as a way to reduce carbon emissions from food production while optimizing crop yields and energy production. Austin Kay, a researcher at Swansea University, England, explained: Agrivoltaic is an innovative method of producing renewable energy that can help decarbonize the agricultural industry. In this method, photovoltaic solar panels are combined with agricultural settings, helping to use the same plot of land for electricity generation as well as food production and cultivation. This can be as simple as placing traditional photovoltaics on livestock farms or involve more complex methods such as installing solar panels on agricultural fields or protected growing environments such as greenhouses.
