The system is based on a highly compact and flexible ultrathin soft solar blanket that acts as the collection panel and can unroll once the satellite reaches orbit. As it does so, a 3D printer system ...

Abstract: In this work, we present a reconfigurable edge sensing system leveraging monolithic three-dimensional (3D) integration to integrate tens of thousands of sensors directly over conventional ...

The outer planets of the solar system are swarmed by ice-wrapped moons. Some of these, such as Saturn's moon Enceladus, are known to have oceans of liquid water between the ice shell and the rocky ...

Astronomers have spotted an intriguing cluster of objects in the Kuiper belt, the enormous, donut-shaped region of icy objects beyond the orbit of Neptune. This latest “inner kernel” was identified by ...
