Undergraduate paves the way for a future career in space exploration
New insights reveal details of how strange matter forms.
FeatUp, developed by MIT CSAIL researchers, boosts the resolution of any deep network or visual foundation for computer vision systems.
Rice engineers propose a new quantitative framework to account for and predict the impact of temperature on the curing speed of platinum-catalyzed silicone elastomers. The findings could maximize throughput and minimize waste in the manufacturing of components for soft robotics and wearables.
Joining three teams backed by a total of $75 million, MIT researchers will tackle some of cancer’s toughest challenges.
After a successful inaugural event in 2023, the Black Houston(s) Symposium returns this year with an event slated for March 21-22, which will bring together scholars, community members and thought leaders to explore the multifaceted narratives of Black life in Houston.
Rice Business’ podcast, Owl Have You Know, is hosting a special live recording event March 25 with New York Times best-selling author Scott Sonenshein and CEO of the Houston Symphony John Mangum.
Venting about a source of anger might feel good in the moment, but it’s not effective at reducing the rage, new research suggests.
NRAO and SpaceX have engaged in coordinated experiments involving NRAO telescopes and the Starlink satellite constellation for over two years. Early experiments began in late 2021 with the deployment of working Starlink user terminals near the Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) in New Mexico and have continued to the present day. These experiments highlight the ways in which satellite constellations and radio telescopes might be able to coexist, provided there is mutual awareness of what the other is doing.
Supported by the National Science Foundation, NRAO and SpaceX are developing a system called Operational Data Sharing (ODS) that provides the current status (position in the sky and observing frequency) of two of its telescopes: the VLA in New Mexico and the Green Bank Telescope (GBT) in West Virginia. SpaceX is able to incorporate these data into its operational algorithm so that its Starlink satellites can steer their downlink beams away the NRAO telescope “boresight” (where the telescopes are pointed in the sky) at the moment an observation is taking place. This adaptation helps to ensure critical internet connectivity for users of the Starlink system while protecting and potentially expanding the frequency bands that radio astronomers can use for their research.
For more details on this developing system, see a recent video produced for NRAO by One World Media above.
