Scientists have discovered new evidence for active volcanism next door to some of the most densely populated areas of Europe. The study ‘crowd-sourced’ GPS monitoring…
University of Arizona researchers are using quantum entanglement to detect radio frequencies with more sensitivity and accuracy than ever. Your phone’s GPS, the Wi-Fi in…
Each second, 1.5 million tons of solar material shoot off of the Sun and out into space, traveling at hundreds of miles per second. Known…
Eight briefcase-size satellites flying in a row may be key to improving forecasts of a hurricane’s wind speed – detecting whether it will make landfall…
Connected devices can now share position information, even in noisy, GPS-denied areas. A new system developed by researchers at MIT and elsewhere helps networks of…
Professor’s startup brings millimeter-scale location tracking to factories, ports, and other industrial environments using an interdisciplinary approach to accelerating human-machine collaboration. David Mindell has spent…
A Raytheon Company team recently conducted a rapid set up demonstration of a land-based expeditionary version of its Joint Precision Approach and Landing System to…
An atomic clock that could pave the way for autonomous deep space travel was successfully activated last week and is ready to begin its year-long…
A new study from the University of Helsinki using miniaturized satellite-based tags revealed that during drier periods desert bats must fly further and longer to…
New research from scientists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and at the University of New Brunswick looks at irregularities in the ionosphere, comparing turbulence in…
A New Zealand researcher thinks that he has solved the riddle of a mysterious South Pacific island shown on Google Earth and world maps, but…
After having been deemed unsafe by the Australian government a couple of weeks back, iPhone users now have access to Google Maps and it hasn’t…
Most orbiting satellites point down towards Earth, but the satellites of the Constellation Observing System for Meteorology look sideways. Ionosphere and Climate (COSMIC) look towards…
Engineers at UC Berkeley released their smartphone-equipped floating robots in the Sacramento River to field test their ability and to demonstrate their water monitoring technology….
New research has showed that the individual neurons in the brains of common pigeons could relay crucial information about the Earth’s magnetic field, potentially providing…
Scientists are proposing the building of a hyper-accurate nuclear clock that would lose only one-tenth of a second over 14 billion years, the current age…
