Third World Politics: Details of the Trump Indictment

We Meant Well 

The rule of law, which seems so precious to holier-than-thou Democrats these days, depends above all on one thing: a belief among the majority of us that while no one is above the law, the law will also be applied fairly to all those it does affect. Whether you loathe Trump or love him, you […]

MoU with AMNS for 4 gymnastics centres in Odisha

«The Times of India» (indiatimes.com) 

The state government on Saturday signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Arcelor Mittal-Nippon Steel (AMNS) India to set up a high performance centre (HPC) for gymnastics in the capital to promote and develop the sport.



Team finds major storage capacity in water-based batteries

Energy-daily.com 

College Station TX (SPX) Apr 10, 2023 - Researchers at Texas A and M University have discovered a 1,000% difference in the storage capacity of metal-free, water-based battery electrodes.

These batteries are different from lithium-ion batteries that contain cobalt. The group's goal of researching metal-free batteries stems from having better control over the domestic supply chain since cobalt and lithium are outsourced. This safer chemistry would also prevent battery fires.

Webb telescope discovers oldest galaxies ever observed

Spacedaily.com 

Paris (AFP) April 4, 2023 - The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered the four most distant galaxies ever observed, one of which formed just 320 million years after the Big Bang when the universe was still in its infancy, new research said on Tuesday.

The Webb telescope has unleashed a torrent of scientific discovery since becoming operational last year, peering farther than ever before into the universe's distant reaches -- which also means it is looking back in time.

Integral's 'new safe mode' activates for the first time

Spacedaily.com 

Paris (ESA) Apr 06, 2023 - This clip captures the exact moment that the new safe mode triggered on ESA's Integral space observatory for the first time. In 2020, the thrusters on ESA's Integral spacecraft failed. To keep the scientific mission alive, the Integral team at ESA's ESOC mission control centre quickly set to work developing a new series of specialised manoeuvres that would enable them to continue flying the spacecraft using only its reaction wheels - the rotating wheels inside a satellite...

The Sun is a normal star after all

Spacedaily.com 

Lisbon, Portugal (SPX) Apr 07, 2023 - With data from Kepler (NASA), Gaia (ESA) and SOHO (NASA/ESA) satellites, a team1, led by Instituto de Astrofisica e Ciencias do Espaco (IA2) researcher Angela Santos, seems to have put an end to the idea that the Sun might not be a regular "sun-like" star. The results were published in Astronomy and Astrophysics3.

Although it might seem odd to try to find out if the Sun is a sun-like star, Angela Santos, a researcher from IA's "Towards a comprehensive study... Читать дальше...

New membrane mirrors for large space-based telescopes

Spacedaily.com 

Munich, Germany (SPX) Apr 06, 2023 - Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics have developed a new way to produce and shape large, high-quality mirrors that are much thinner than conventional mirrors used for space telescopes. The resulting mirrors are flexible enough to be rolled up and stored compactly inside a launch vehicle.

"Launching and deploying space telescopes is a complicated and costly procedure," says Sebastian Rabien from the MPE. "This new approach... Читать дальше...

Historic nebula seen like never before with NASA's IXPE

Spacedaily.com 

Washington DC (SPX) Apr 07, 2023 - On Feb. 22, 1971, a sounding rocket lifted off from Wallops Island, Virginia, with specialized sensors aimed at the Crab Nebula, a bright cosmic object 6,500 light-years away. In those days, before recovering physical tapes from the experiment, scientists first received scientific data on a strip chart recorder, a device that printed signals on paper. Astronomer Martin Weisskopf and his colleagues began their analysis on launch day by measuring the distance between signals using a ruler and pencil. Читать дальше...

Twinkling stars fuel interstellar dust

Spacedaily.com 

Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Apr 07, 2023 - Of the many different kinds of stars, asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars, usually slightly larger and older than our own sun, are known producers of interstellar dust. Dusty AGBs are particularly prominent producers of dust, and the light they shine happens to vary widely. For the first time, a long-period survey has found the variable intensity of dusty AGBs coincides with variations in the amount of dust these stars produce. As this dust can lead to the creation of planets... Читать дальше...

Webb reveals never-before-seen details in Cassiopeia A

Spacedaily.com 

Baltimore MD (SPX) Apr 07, 2023 - The explosion of a star is a dramatic event, but the remains that the star leaves behind can be even more dramatic. A new mid-infrared image from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope provides one stunning example. It shows the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A), created by a stellar explosion 340 years ago from Earth's perspective. The image displays vivid colors and intricate structures begging to be examined more closely. Cas A is the youngest known remnant from an exploding... Читать дальше...

Robotic hand can identify objects with just one grasp

Spacedaily.com 

Boston MA (SPX) Apr 04, 2023 - Inspired by the human finger, MIT researchers have developed a robotic hand that uses high-resolution touch sensing to accurately identify an object after grasping it just one time.

Many robotic hands pack all their powerful sensors into the fingertips, so an object must be in full contact with those fingertips to be identified, which can take multiple grasps. Other designs use lower-resolution sensors spread along the entire finger, but these don't capture as much detail... Читать дальше...

A four-legged robotic system for playing soccer on various terrains

Spacedaily.com 

Boston MA (SPX) Apr 04, 2023 - If you've ever played soccer with a robot, it's a familiar feeling. Sun glistens down on your face as the smell of grass permeates the air. You look around. A four-legged robot is hustling toward you, dribbling with determination.

While the bot doesn't display a Lionel Messi-like level of ability, it's an impressive in-the-wild dribbling system nonetheless. Researchers from MIT's Improbable Artificial Intelligence Lab, part of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL)... Читать дальше...

AI bot ChatGPT faces growing scrutiny in Europe

Spacedaily.com 

Paris (AFP) April 5, 2023 - France's data regulator said on Wednesday it had received two complaints about the AI program ChatGPT, as European authorities deepened their scrutiny of the chatbot days after Italy banned it.

ChatGPT, created by US firm OpenAI, has provided a global hit by demonstrating an ability to generate essays, poems and conversations from the briefest of prompts -- as well as passing tough exams.
