Transistor shrinking intensifies.

Noreen and Antonia were born back in February, but the organisation announced the news on Thursday, local time.

Both are healthy and continue to reach expected development and behavioural milestones.

Noreen was born at the National Black-footed Ferret Conservation Center in Colorado, while Antonia resides at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute in Virginia.

SpaceX’s new Raptor 4.0 engine and Starship V3 are set to revolutionize space travel, making it more affordable and accessible for orbital testing, satellite launches, and human missions to the Moon and Mars, while also benefiting the US Aerospace industry.

Questions to inspire discussion.

SpaceX is making significant advancements in rocket technology, with the development of the new Raptor engine and the impressive reliability of Falcon 9 launches Questions to inspire discussion What updates have been made at the Boca Chica launch site? —The linkage arms, booster hold down clamps, and other components of the SpaceX Starship launch mount have been removed and reinstalled with some modifications, possibly in preparation for future launches.

A dog-like, bio-inspired robot called Spirit is still learning to walk, but could one day be deployed on the moon to explore steep, potentially hazardous areas with a team of robot companions.

Developing the clinical potential of NK cells as cancer therapeutics requires researchers to expand beyond conventional cell culture approaches.

While foraging, animals including humans and monkeys are continuously making decisions about where to search for food and when to move among possible sources of sustenance.

Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder have developed experiments to replicate the chemical reactions of the Interstellar Medium, using techniques like laser cooling and mass spectrometry to observe interactions between ions and molecules.

While it may not look like it, the interstellar space between stars is far from empty. Atoms, ions, molecules, and more reside in this ethereal environment known as the Interstellar Medium (ISM). The ISM has fascinated scientists for decades, as at least 200 unique molecules form in its cold, low-pressure environment. It’s a subject that ties together the fields of chemistry, physics, and astronomy, as scientists from each field work to determine what types of chemical reactions happen there.

Now, in the recently published cover article of the Journal of Physical Chemistry A, JILA Fellow and University of Colorado Boulder Physics Professor Heather Lewandowski and former JILA graduate student Olivia Krohn highlight their work to mimic ISM conditions by using Coulomb crystals, a cold pseudo-crystalline structure, to watch ions and neutral molecules interact with each other.
