Chinese ‘space cleaner’ spotted grabbing and throwing away old satellite
Posted by Muhammad Furqan in category: satellites
A Chinese satellite was spotted apparently clearing up space junk. But US officials are concerned the technology could be used against non-junk satellites.
Last month, a private satellite tracking company spotted a Chinese spacecraft apparently grabbing and throwing a dead satellite away into a “graveyard” orbit.

At Last: New Synthetic Tooth Enamel Is Harder and Stronger Than the Real Thing
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: biotech/medical, nanotechnology
Delivering what has been so challenging to produce, researchers present an engineered analog of tooth enamel – an ideal model for designing biomimetic materials – designed to closely mimic the composition and structure of biological teeth’s hard mineralized outer layer. It demonstrates exceptional mechanical properties, they say.
Natural tooth enamel – the thin outer layer of our teeth – is the hardest biological material in the human body. It is renowned for its high stiffness, hardness, viscoelasticity, strength, and toughness and exhibits exceptional damage resistance, despite being only several millimeters thick.
Tooth enamel’s unusual combination of properties is a product of its hierarchical architecture – a complex structure made up of mostly hydroxyapatite nanowires interconnected by an amorphous intergranular phase (AIP) consisting of magnesium-substituted amorphous calcium phosphate. However, accurately replicating this type of hierarchical organization in a scalable abiotic composite has remained a challenge.
