STEM Students Blend Science and Policy in New Capitol Campus Fellowship - Georgetown University

Once Harmony was installed, the space station grew into something more like a five-bedroom house.

Haley Zaremba is an energy journalist and researcher with more than a decade of professional experience covering global energy systems, land and natural resources, and… Prototype solid-state cells from NASA's SPEARS project survived minus 274 degrees Fahrenheit without damage and ran, at reduced performance, down to minus 112 degrees.

The James Webb Space Telescope's (JWST) newest Picture of the Month shows what the European Space Agency (ESA) describes as a "turbulent cauldron of star formation." The star-forming region named LHA 120-N 159, also known as N159, is located 161,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). [ Read More ]

Engineers introduce a 3D-printed, hybrid aluminum-and-rubber cloaking device that blocks an object’s thermal signature by guiding heat around it, rendering it invisible to infrared cameras. Credit: University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. An object doesn’t have to be visible to give away its location. Sometimes, the way it disrupts the flow of heat is enough to reveal that something is hiding there, much to the despair of camouflaged soldiers who have to endure thermal vision drones on the battlefield. Now, engineers have developed a device that can make that thermal signature almost disappear (although sadly it won’t work for infantry).

How can the identity of pluripotent stem cells be determined more reliably during their differentiation? Researchers from the IUF—Leibniz Research Institute for Environmental Medicine and Heinrich Heine University Duesseldorf have systematically validated marker genes for this purpose and developed a web-based application for the automated classification of early cell fates. The study has been published in Stem Cell Reports.
