A space elevator is something people have dreamed of for ages. An easy trip to and from space, without the expenses and waste of a single use spaceship. But why don’t we have one yet? What’s stopping ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) systems, particularly artificial neural networks, have proved to be highly promising tools for uncovering patterns in large amounts of data that would otherwise be ...

XRISM’s observations of GX13+1 revealed a slow, fog-like wind instead of the expected high-speed blast, challenging existing models of radiation-driven outflows. The discovery hints that temperature ...

Artist’s impression of the powerful winds blowing from the bright X-ray source GX13+1. The X-rays are coming from a disc of hot matter, known as an accretion disc, that is gradually spiralling down to ...

Whether space-time exists should neither be controversial nor even conceptually challenging, given the definitions of “space-time,” “events” and “instants.” The idea that space-time exists is no more ...

Abstract: Recently, diffusion models have shown considerable promise for MRI reconstruction. However, extensive experimentation has revealed that these models are prone to generating artifacts due to ...

The Space Shuttle was one of the most complex and ambitious spacecraft ever designed, pioneering reusable spaceflight and enabling decades of missions. With massive solid rocket boosters, advanced ...

This repository contains code for the paper A Neural Symbolic Model for Space Physics. If you encounter any problems with this program, please contact Jie Ying yingj24@mails.tsinghua.edu.cn. A ...

New research has unveiled the awesome power of newly-discovered "space hurricanes." In 2014, an unusual phenomenon appeared in space, miles above the North Pole. It looked like a hurricane you might ...

A quantum computer has reached new heights. The first quantum computer in space is now orbiting Earth on a satellite, scientists report. Launched on June 23, the computer had to be designed to fit in ...
