A study found that these cosmic bodies appear to hold up remarkably well to sudden energy deposition and shock conditions.

Bell-Everman says its ServoBelt technology provides a cost-effective alternative to oversized gantry systems without sacrificing industrial-grade performance.

Abstract: Accurate characterization of surfaces using cantilever-based optical beam deflection (OBD) systems is crucial for obtaining the sample’s “true” topography and its corresponding material ...

Plenty of asteroids can survive their fiery plunge through the Earth’s atmosphere. If they’re big enough, they can prove ...

Planetary defence research often sits between modelling and imagination, with few chances to test real materials under realistic conditions. A new study changes that balance slightly. Scientists have ...

Could humanity nuke an incoming asteroid to deflect it and save the Earth, disaster-movie style? A unique new impact simulation suggests that a nuclear option could be a viable last resort to avert an ...

Abstract: The paper presents information on the digital image correlation system, a contactless measurement technique which provides data on displacements of the recorded surface of the tested object.

The construction of concrete-filled steel tube tied-arch bridges typically employs the “beam first and arch later” methodology. In this approach, tie beams are initially constructed on temporary ...

NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test mission struck the 160-m moonlet asteroid Dimorphos (shown) in September 2022, changing its orbital period but generating a trail of debris called a surface ...

These optical scanners comprise two separate, perpendicular planar mirrors that rotate independently. They are positioned in a manner wherein laser light bouncing off the first mirror (axis 1) ...
