The Sensor Uses Sound Waves to Detect Objects at Extremely Small Scales

Material & Energy, Nanotechnology /

Every camera relies on a sensor, whether it’s an array of light-sensitive pixels or a strip of 35mm film. But what happens when you need to photograph something so tiny that the sensor itself must shrink, causing its performance to plummet? Researchers at Northeastern University have developed a sensing technology that can detect objects as

NASA has Lost Contact with the MAVEN Spacecraft after 11 years Orbiting Mars

Aerospace, Space & Environment /

NASA said the outage occurred as MAVEN passed behind Mars, and unexpectedly, it failed to reconnect once back in view of Earth. The most recent telemetry showed all systems operating normally, leaving the cause of the issue unclear for now. MAVEN—short for Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution—was launched in 2013 and began orbiting Mars in
