NASA plans to use lasers to measure the impact of exhaust gases on the lunar surface during landing, in order to plan lunar landings more effectively

Recently, the Advanced Laser and Optoelectronic Functional Materials Department of the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has made new progress in the corrosion mechanism of alkali aluminophosphate glass. The research findings were published in The Journal of Physical Chemistry C under the title "Formation Mechanism of Crystal Phase during Corrosion ...

Recently, a team of Professor Ruan Shuangchen and Professor Zhou Cangtao from Shenzhen University of Technology proposed for the first time internationally a physical solution based on the generation of attosecond pulses and subperiodic coherent light shock radiation from a superluminal plasma wake field, and explained a new coherent radiation generation mechanism dominated by collective electron ...

Recently, metal 3D printing manufacturer Meltio launched its latest metal 3D printer - M600. This M600 has shown significant progress in integrating into industrial manufacturing processes, no longer limited to niche applications. Like most of Meltio's product lines, the design of M600 was originally intended to address common manufacturing issues such as long delivery times, high inventory cost...

Although these exp...

Compared to Impressionist paintings taken 50 years ago, upon closer inspection of Impressionist paintings in museums, you may notice some strange things: some are losing their bright yellow hue.Taking the dramatic sunset in Edward Munch's masterpiece "The Scream" as an example. The once bright orange yellow parts of the sky have faded to off white.Similarly, in his painting "The Joy of Life", Henr...
