| Nine-year-old Mars rover passes 40-year-old record Posted: 17 May 2013 09:09 AM PDT While Apollo 17 astronauts Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt visited Earth's moon for three days in December 1972, they drove their mission's Lunar Roving Vehicle 19.3 nautical miles (22.210 statute miles or 35.744 kilometers). That was the farthest total distance for any NASA vehicle driving on a world other than Earth until yesterday. |
| Posted: 17 May 2013 06:46 AM PDT Materials belonging to the family of dilute magnetic oxides (DMOs) - an oxide-based variant of the dilute magnetic semiconductors - are good candidates for spintronics applications. |
| Add boron for better batteries Posted: 16 May 2013 01:17 PM PDT A graphene-boron compound is theoretically capable of storing double the energy of common graphite anodes used in lithium-ion batteries. |
| New record in wireless data transmission Posted: 16 May 2013 07:53 AM PDT Researchers have achieved the wireless transmission of 40 Gbit/s at 240 GHz over a distance of one kilometer. Researchers say that their most recent demonstration sets a new world record and ties in seamlessly with the capacity of optical fiber transmission. In the future, such radio links will be able to close gaps in providing broadband internet by supplementing the network in rural areas and places which are difficult to access. |
| South Africa's new radio telescope reveals giant outbursts from binary star system Posted: 16 May 2013 07:52 AM PDT An international team of astronomers have reported the first scientific results from the Karoo Array Telescope (KAT-7) in South Africa. |
