One significant area of research involves the charging of test masses used in gravitational wave detection missions, such as the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). Studies have shown that ...

Instruments designed for this purpose, like the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), require highly sensitive test masses that can detect minute changes in gravitational forces. However ...

Enrico Chesta, Véronique Ferlet-Cavrois and Markus Brugger highlight seven ways CERN and ESA are working together to further ...

"It's just so fun to be able to see something going from a paper to space," graduate student Katie Varela said. The antenna folds into an "extremely compact cube" that wants to open, with a wire ...

NASA developed and tested a 3D-printed antenna to demonstrate a low-cost capability to communicate science data to Earth. The antenna, tested in flight using an atmospheric weather balloon, could open ...

Here’s how it works. The best TV antennas are a critical element of any living room. I couldn't live without my TV antenna. It's as important to me as any streaming service because it allows me ...

The bulk of the 3D printed antenna uses a low electrical resistance, tunable, ceramic-filled polymer material. For the demonstration, engineers from NASA’s Near Space Network designed and built a 3D ...

Ultrawide-bandgap semiconductors—such as diamond—are promising for next-generation electronics due to a larger energy gap ...
