Your mental picture of Mars could be wrong.

Elisha Sauers writes about space for Mashable, taking deep dives into NASA's moon and Mars missions, chatting up astronauts and history-making discoverers, and jetting above the clouds. Through 17 years of reporting, she's covered a variety of topics, including health, business, and government, with a penchant for public records requests. She previously worked for The Virginian-Pilot in Norfolk, Virginia, and The Capital in Annapolis, Maryland. Her work has earned numerous state awards, including the Virginia Press Association's top honor, Best in Show, and national recognition for narrative storytelling. For each year she has covered space, Sauers has won National Headliner Awards, including first place for her Sex in Space series.

Top Science Photography Award Winner Stripped For AI Use - PCMag Middle East

The winner of one of the world’s most prestigious scientific photography awards has been stripped of the top prize after their entry was outed as using generative AI. Dr Ning Xu, from Tsinghua University in China, grabbed the top spot in Nikon’s 16th annual Small World in Motion contest, which looks to reward the best microscopic videography. Dr Xu had submitted a short video showing tiny, hair-like structures called cilia moving through the airway of a child suffering from primary ciliary dyskinesia, a rare respiratory condition that can lead to chronic lung, sinus, and ear infections.

Experimental characterization and scaling of flexural rigidity in sewn multilayer structures - Nature

We’re sharing this article early to provide faster access to peer-reviewed, accepted research. It is citable and carries a permanent DOI. This version is subject to further edits and will be replaced automatically by the final Version of Record. All legal disclaimers apply. AbstractSewing is one of the established methods used to fabricate and assemble multilayer insulation (MLI) blankets for aerospace applications, yet the resulting effective flexural behavior remains insufficiently understood. This study investigates the room-temperature, quasi-static flexural behavior of MLI blankets composed of aluminized BoPET radiation shields and polyester net spacers across structural configurations of 2, 6, 12, and 24 layers. A full factorial design was employed to evaluate the influence of the number of layers, stitch density, needle thread tension, and needle foot force. Statistical analyses demonstrated that the number of layers is the dominant factor governing flexural response. Among the sewing parameters, needle thread tension was associated with modifications in bending length, while needle foot force primarily affected local compaction.
