Black holes in wooden boards are supposed to dampen sound Black holes in the universe are so dense that not even light can escape. Empa researchers have now developed black holes for wooden boards that are not supposed to swallow everything, but at least sound. Artificial nacre takes on a load-bearing role Researchers have developed a new building material that indicates dangerous internal deformations: by glowing. With the increasing use of lightweight construction - for example in aircraft construction - this is a great advantage. United Kingdom Space Agency aiming for supersonic aircraft from 2030 From London to Sydney in just four and a half hours – this is the dream of the UK Space Agency (UKSA). A special propulsion system that is intended to make this flight at supersonic speed possible is targeted for the 2030s. Drone searches independently Researchers have developed a drone that can locate missing people in dense forests. It performs all calculations on board, flies fully autonomously and continuously optimizes its flight path. New tracking system makes food aid more transparent Until now, food aid operations have been a black box. A new MIT technology is shedding light on the issue, with unique IDs for each individual product. 3D printer rocket fails The world's first 3D-printed rocket failed to make its planned Earth orbit schedule on its first test flight. It is the largest object ever produced in a 3D printer. Mitigating the effects of global warming with moon dust In a recent study, US scientists suggest using moon dust to combat global warming, since lunar dust shields a lot of sunlight with little mass. Other experts are critical of this method. With gold against steamed-up glasses Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a coating for eyeglasses that heats up lenses with sunlight. The invention is intended to prevent them from fogging up.
