New research shows how the star's powerful outbursts could help scientists assess which worlds might support life.

Abstract: This paper introduces an innovative model predictive control strategy for a grid-connected wind energy system using a three-level inverter. The method features a command structure with a ...

YouTuber "The 5439 Workshop" has built a solar system coffee table with a miniature, mechanically-exploding star system.

Abstract: Memristors are one of the four fundamental electrical components, relating electrical quantities such as current, voltage, charge (integral of current), and flux (integral of voltage). First ...

California’s first solar-over-canal project goes online with the commissioning of the narrow and wide span arrays in the ...

Roughly four and a half billion years ago the planet Theia slammed into Earth, destroying Theia, melting large fractions of Earth’s mantle and ejecting a huge debris disk that later formed the moon.

The Kuiper belt, a disc of icy rocks on the outermost edges of the solar system, seems to have more structure than we thought. In 2011, researchers found a cluster of objects there on similar orbits ...

It was April 2006, and the mood was celebratory at Napa Valley College. A crowd had assembled to toast the school’s new solar field — 5,600 photovoltaic panels arranged in neat rows across 5 acres of ...

"If our solar system is indeed moving this fast, we need to question fundamental assumptions about the large-scale structure of the universe." Astronomers have discovered that the solar system may be ...

How fast and in which direction is our solar system moving through the universe? This seemingly simple question is one of the key tests of our cosmological understanding. A research team led by ...
