The US Army has awarded AeroVironment a $97M contract to build GENESIS, a simulator for testing next-generation missile sensors.

Electrons in solar materials can be launched across molecules almost as fast as nature allows, thanks to tiny atomic vibrations acting like a “molecular catapult.” In experiments lasting just 18 ...

Abstract: To address the efficiency decline of photovoltaic tracking systems under cloudy conditions, this paper proposes a hybrid control strategy combining astronomical algorithms with dynamically ...

Abstract: Seeking to create more advanced and efficient renewable energy, this paper proposes a new, intelligent, and inexpensive design for a solar tracker system using Arduino microcontroller ...

There seems to be an enormous cloud of dark matter next to our solar system. We have never found one of these clouds in the Milky Way before, but precise cosmic clocks called pulsars finally made it ...

Earth and Mars were formed from material that largely originated in the inner solar system; only a few percent of the building blocks of these two planets originated beyond Jupiter's orbit. A group of ...

Recently, scientists discovered the fastest-spinning large asteroid in the solar system. It’s about the length of eight football fields — but it fully rotates every two minutes, or even a little ...
