Robotic Satellites to Repair Satellites in Orbit

Science Innovations

The University of Cincinnati is developing a new robotics technology that can repair orbiting satellites. According to Ou Ma, Professor at Cincinnati University, robotic satellites could be able to dock with other satellites for repairs and refuelling. The most useful repair satellite will be able to complete multiple tasks. Ou Ma is assisted by AnoopSathyan and they are working on developing robotic networks that can work independently but collaboratively on a common task.

Explaining Brown Dwarfs
Science Innovations
An international team, led by scientists from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and the Swiss National Centre of Competence in Research (NCCR) Planets, in collaboration with the University of Bern, has identified five objects that have masses near the border separating stars and brown dwarfs. Brown dwarfs are astronomical objects with masses between those of planets and stars. The question of where exactly the limits of their mass lie remains a matter of debate. So this findin...

Science Innovations
Research scholars at Stanford University have used new machine learning techniques to determine the structure of molecules. Determining the 3D shapes of biological molecules is one of the hardest problems in modern biology and medical discovery. Companies and research institutions often spend millions of dollars to determine a molecular structure – and even such massive efforts are frequently unsuccessful. The new algorithm predicts accurate molecular structures and, in doi...

Science Innovations
Indian scientists have developed a composite paper made of carbon (graphene oxide) loaded with preservatives that can be used as wrappers to help extend shelf life of fruits. Unlike the present preservative dipping technology, where the preservatives are adsorbed by the fruit, causing chronic toxicity to the consumers; here preservatives the wrapper releases the preservative only when needed. The wrapper can be reused, which is not possible with the present technology.Fruits ...
