official science and technology thread

Anybody running Boinc (or the like) to contribute to science projects on their computers out there?

Here's a result from Milkyway@Home

------
Milkyway@Home: New N-Body Result!
We have measured the original shape and mass of the dwarf galaxy that was ripped apart to make the Orphan-Chenab Stream! The paper is out today: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3 ... 357/ac498a Eric Mendelsohn was the lead author on this study.

Professor Heidi Jo Newberg has made a ~14 min video explaining the topic here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ma44b8-SLcA , and a longer ~24 min video with more information here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eATUWTwdOgc

Thank you to all our volunteers for helping make this possible! We seriously appreciate the contributions that you all make to this project. Without you, we wouldn't have been able to locate dark matter in the Milky Way!

I wondered into the wrong thread to post this, so I figure I'd better put it right.

Sad.

Just had flashbacks of my NYC days when we ran out of bad guy in the wee hours of the morning but the dealers were just a phone call away.

Briefcase-sized gadget turns seawater into drinking water at push of a button

Using electrically-charged membranes above and below the water, ICP repels the salt particles as they pass through.

The membranes repel positively or negatively charged particles — including salt molecules, bacteria, and viruses — as they flow past. The charged particles are funneled into a second stream of water that is eventually discharged.

The process removes both dissolved and suspended solids, allowing clean water to pass through the channel. Since it only requires a low-pressure pump, ICP uses less energy than other techniques.

In April, the team posted a video showing how it works.

The researchers found this process on its own couldn’t remove all the salt, so they paired it with a second technique called electrodialysis to catch any remaining salt ions.

Scientists accidentally discover a material that can ‘remember’ like a brain

Scientists have discovered the first-ever physical material capable of “remembering” its entire history of physical stimuli, similar to that of a brain.

The team from the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland stumbled upon the remarkable property while researching phase transitions of vanadium dioxide (VO2), a compound used in electronics.

PhD student Mohammad Samizadeh Nikoo was attempting to figure out how long it takes for VO2 to transition from one state to another, but soon realised that something never before seen was happening when an electric current was applied.

“The current moved across the material, following a path until it exited on the other side,” Mr Samizadeh Nikoo said.

“As the current heated up the sample, it caused the VO2 to change state. And once the current had passed, the material returned to its initial state.”

After applying a second electrical current during the experiment, the researcher observed that the time taken for the material to change state appeared to be directly related to its history.

“We didn’t expect to see this kind of memory effect, and it has nothing to do with electronic states but rather with the physical structure of the material. It’s a novel discovery: no other material behaves in this way.”

The discovery could have major implications for advancements in electronics that rely on memory to perform calculations.

By having the memory effect be an innate property of the material itself, the researchers claim it could enhance the capacity, speed and, ultimately, the miniaturisation of electronics.

A study detailing the research was published in the scientific journal Nature Electronics.

No interest in the Artemis I launch today? Being an Apollo-era child, I cannot wait to see human lunar exploration again.

If we just stopped monitoring asteroids the threat would disappear. Don't Libtards understand how to science this shit.

Early this morning the Artemis 1 mission did a close flyby if the moon and burn to put it into an elliptical orbit that it will do before it returns home. It flew around 80 miles from the surface during its flyby of the dark side. This is a picture from before it went around the dark side and lost radio contact.
