The term artificial airglow describes the intentional augmentation or production of atmospheric airglow which is the earth’s atmosphere’s natural light emission. This phenomenon, which can be seen at different altitudes, is brought on by solar and cosmic radiation interacting with atmospheric molecules like oxygen and nitrogen. The dim, diffuse, and typically greenish light produced by artificial airglow is most noticeable at night and has long been studied for its unique celestial properties.

Four days of research and experimentation

Now, the high-frequency radio wave transmitter called the High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) facility in Alaska will create the phenomenon in the sky for four days starting from Saturday in order to conduct experiments on the ionosphere, a region of our planet’s upper atmosphere that contains a high concentration of ions and free electrons and extends from about 30 miles (50 kilometers) above the earth’s surface to several hundred miles in altitude.

Scientists showcased the application of machine learning in the sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR).

Machine learning technology has the potential to transform nuclear reactor operations, according to a team of experts from the US Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory, who demonstrated how it may improve security and efficiency.

They showcased the application of machine learning in the sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR), a specialized cutting-edge nuclear reactor.

The new material is highly scalable especially compared to other alternatives such as graphene and diamonds.

Researchers at Delft University of Technology have created a novel material that has a yield strength ten times higher than Kevlar, rivaling the strength of other super strong alternatives such as graphene and diamonds.

High-strength synthetic fibers like Kevlar are renowned for their remarkable resilience to abrasion and wear. They are most notably used in applications that are reinforcing and strengthening, particularly in body armor, helmets, and other protective gear.

In the future, it could facilitate an even greater fusion between retinal implants and the human body.

A multinational group lead by Francesca Santoro, a researcher at Jülich, has created an intelligent biochip that effectively mimics the human retina, opening up new possibilities in bioelectronics.

The retina is a layer of neural tissue located at the back of the eye that plays a crucial role in the visual process. This key part of the eye is in charge of translating light into electrical signals that are transmitted to the brain, enabling us to see and understand images. It is this process that the new biochip recreates.

NASA official says the ISS may not be retired in 2030 if commercial space stations are not ready.

NASA has hinted that it may extend the life of the International Space Station (ISS) beyond 2030 if there are no viable alternatives in the form of commercial space stations.

As per SpaceNews, Ken Bowersox, NASA associate administrator for space operations, said at the Beyond Earth Symposium on November 2 that the agency was flexible about the future of the ISS and would only retire it once there were new platforms to replace it.

The M3 chips come in three versions: the M3, the M3 Pro, and the M3 Max.

Since moving away from Intel to develop its in-house PC chips laid on the foundation of its mobile A-series chips, Apple’s M series desktop chips have changed the dynamics of the PC industry. The M1 not only proved to be successful but also powerful and efficient at the same time, earning early adopter’s trust for reliability to move to a new ARM-based desktop architecture. With Apple’s Rosetta at play, early adopters could bet on moving away from Intel chips to try their beloved apps and software suits within the new ARM system.

They’re called vibrotactors and they vibrate to provide orientation cues.

A number of factors, such as the lack of gravity, changed sensory inputs, and the unique conditions of space travel, can cause disorientation in astronauts. This phenomenon is so severe that it can even be deadly to the space dwellers.
