All That Jazz: GE Opens Wind Turbine Blade Test Center At NASA Rocket Factory In New Orleans

There are few places in the world like NASA’s rocket factory in New Orleans, where the U.S. space agency and its contractors are building the Space Launch System. It’s the most powerful rocket ever designed — and may one day take astronauts as far as Mars. Known as the Michoud Assembly Facility, the plant covers an area equal to 31 American football fields, including several soaring high-bay areas where workers stack silver and orange rocket segments like Jenga blocks.

A Quieter Sonic Boom: GE Is Helping NASA, Lockheed Martin Design A New Supersonic Jet

Fred Guterl
September 11, 2018
When Chuck Yeager flew NASA’s first rocket plane, the X-1, past the sound barrier for the first time in October 1947, confirmation of his feat rang out across the desert in the form of a sonic boom — the thunder caused by compression of sound waves at the bow of the plane as it reached Mach 1. In the seven decades since, the boom has remained an impediment to widespread supersonic travel, outside of the military.

"Scientists at Duke University flexed human muscles grown from stem cells for the first time, a thumbnail-sized sensor connected to a smartphone app can track your sun exposure, and another device can sniff out counterfeit homebrew in your expensive drink. Here’s a toast to science.

Doctors in France designed a device that partially awakened a man who’d been in a vegetative state for 15 years, Spanish agriculturists genetically engineered a low-gluten wheat, and researchers in New York figured out how to use the human heart to secure computers. Does all this progress make your pulse quicken, too?

Out Of Here: Cassini Takes The Plunge

September 15, 2017
Saturn takes the prize as the prettiest planet in the solar system, regardless of the size of your telescope. But its true beauty came to light only recently after the Cassini spacecraft snapped a series of stunning photographs of the distant world and its satellites. Dispatched to Saturn two decades ago, the Cassini orbiter, carrying the Huygens probe, completed numerous flybys around Saturn’s massive body, through its rocky rings and around its potentially life-sheltering moons Titan and Enceladus.

How Can We Fix The Space Junk Problem? A Net And A Harpoon, Say Aerospace Engineers 

May 15, 2017

Since man first ventured into the cosmos, space has been gradually filling up with space junk— remnants of old spacecraft, ejected pieces of equipment, parts of launch rockets and micro-fragments of glass and metal. This junk poses a real threat to our dependency on satellite services, but luckily Dr. Jason Forshaw, part of the RemoveDebris team, is launching one the world’s first missions to test space junk capturing technologies later this year. He explains what to expect.

Why Making Robots That Can Work With Their Hands Is Harder Than You Think

Taskin Padir
May 10, 2017

For robots to be most useful when working alongside humans, we'll have to figure out how to make robots that can literally lend us a hand when our own two are not enough, writes Taskin Padir of Northeastern University.

NASA: Saturn's Moon Enceladus Has All the Basic Ingredients for Life

David Nield Science Alert

But there’s more. His team is planning to feed the AR’s visual information into a database and analyze it for insights with apps running on Predix. “I think the more we leverage augmented reality, the more data we can harvest out of our processes,” Beacham says. “The way the AR system works, it takes pictures as it goes. Those pictures provide data you can analyze and discover ways to further optimize your processes and insights about production that are hard to get otherwise.”
