Six students from Sault Saint Marie launched their own science experiment into space. They got to see it happen in-person at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The launch was scheduled back in October, and there were delays up to the last minute. Now that the launch is over, they can look forward to their experiment’s arrival at the international space station.

Boston is a pretty big deal in science and engineering, but it doesn't have to be that way, though. It would take some work to mess it up, since the momentum of Harvard and MIT and Brandeis and Tufts and Northeastern all the rest of them, as well as the industrial momentum of all the biopharma companies, etc.

In 3 Body’s fictional universe, far-flung theory plays out in real time in the lives of a far-away alien species and its attempts to both interact with and influence humans here on Earth. The most common sort of star is one with a stable binary partner, which makes our sun, a solo star, fairly rare. This is precisely the situation the Trisolarans face: From time to time, their three bodies stabilize for long periods, giving their civilizations enough time to rapidly advance and flourish.

PNNL enables cutting-edge technologies, from lightweight cars to high-capacity batteries and durable spacecraft. A new artificial intelligence (AI) model can identify patterns in electron microscope images of materials without human intervention, allowing for more accurate and consistent materials science. It also removes a barrier for autonomous experimentation on electron microscopes.

Dirac electrons develop in certain conditions where cone-shaped openings appear in solid matter. In the past, they’ve always been in the mix with other types of electrons, making them difficult to study. Now, finally isolating them has let physicists study their unique properties. They are compounds that conduct electricity only on their outer surfaces.
