In the realm of science fiction, Dyson spheres and ringworlds have been staples for decades. But it is well known that the simplest designs are unstable against gravitational forces and would thus be ...

Nitrogen gas (N2) is one of the most abundant yet highly stable gases in the Earth's atmosphere. Its N≡N triple bond has an ...

Breakthrough in N2 activation! This study unveils an electron catalysis strategy that directly converts N2 into azo compounds ...

The structural and dynamic properties of two polymorphs of the metal–organic framework UMCM-9 (UMCM-9-α and -β) have been studied via molecular dynamics (MD) simulations in conjunction with density ...

Although de-orbiting satellites at a faster pace may be a solution, orbital debris falling back to Earth can ... When a satellite ‘burns up’, it is disintegrated at a molecular level by the force of ...

With localized orbital approximations, benchmarks for ever larger complexes ... Here, we will focus on CCSD(T) as the gold standard of quantum chemistry and examine all conceivable causes of its ...

The mission involved a number of vaguely-worded goals, including "operating the reusable spaceplane in new orbital regimes, experimenting with future space domain awareness technologies ...

The Eris 1 was a small orbital launch vehicle that could carry a 300kg payload to low-Earth orbit. Mr Gilmour said reaching orbit was a “highly complex engineering challenge” and “every ...

The first attempt to send an Australian-made rocket into orbit is set to take place after the middle of March. The launch window announcement has excited the community of Bowen, where businesses ...

Last week, the US Space Force posted a photo online from its uncrewed X-37B space plane's seventh mission, showing the orbital test vehicle above our planet in High Earth Orbit over 22,000 miles away.
