New Theory Suggests We’ve Been Looking for Dark Matter All Wrong

A new study suggests that Dark Matter — long thought to be completely invisible — might subtly tint light as it passes through regions filled with the elusive substance. Dark Matter, which makes up most of the Universe, might not be entirely invisible after all. According to new research from the

Scientists Discover a Giant, Unexplained Wave Rippling Through the Milky Way

The Milky Way ripples like a vast cosmic wave. Gaia’s precise measurements reveal a colossal motion sweeping through the galaxy’s disc, an echo of something mysterious in our galaxy’s ancient past. The Milky Way is anything but static. It rotates and it wobbles, and new observations from the Euro

Air Force approaches industry for cognitive radio intelligent waveform generation and network control

The program seeks new kinds of cognitive radio techniques that enable wireless communications that autonomously find open radio frequencies and choose the most efficient RF waveform to avoid interference, achieve necessary range, and send data quickly.

Intelligent RF transceivers

Cognitive radio describes an RF transceiver that intelligently can detect which communication channels are in use, which ones are not, and instantly move into vacant channels. The same principles could apply to radar, electronic warfare (EW) and other RF and microwave applications.

New Models Show How Solar ‘Tornadoes’ Could Wreak Havoc on Earth

Weather forecasting is a powerful tool. During hurricane season, for instance, meteorologists create computer simulations to forecast how these destructive storms form and where they might travel, which helps prevent damage to coastal communities.

When you’re trying to forecast space weather, rather than storms on Earth, creating these simulations gets a little more complex.

To simulate space weather, you would need to fit the Sun, the planets, and the vast empty space between them in a virtual environment, also known as a simulation box, where all the calculations would take place.
