From astronauts to programmers and medical researchers fighting the COVID-19 pandemic, these women are pushing boundaries in STEM.
Improving Li-ion battery performance using 3D printing
Increasing the mass of an electrode reduces power density due to the longer distance that ions and electrons must travel. Electrode designs need a rethink.
What are quantum computers?
Computers relying on subatomic physics: what are quantum computers, and how will they revolutionize our computing abilities?
Growing interest in Moon resources could cause tension
New research indicates that limited resources on Earth’s satellite could cause crowding and competition as site selection, extraction become reality.
Jupiter’s moons could be warming each other
The gravitational push and pull by Jupiter’s moons could account for more warming than the gas giant Jupiter alone.
