Tough All-Terrain Military Robot Unveiled
Combat Vehicle. CREDIT: Carnegie Mellon University's National Robotics Engineering Center Researchers unveiled today a unique unmanned military vehicle prototype that combines mobility, payload-carrying capacity, and ruggedness to aid troops in combat. The "Crusher" is a...
U.S. Buys Up Afghanistan Images from Top Satellite
the hands of terrorist organizations like al Qaeda and prevents the media from independently obtaining pictures of Afghanistan. "We don't want the media to run satellite photos that can be interpreted by terrorists and place our forces in harm's way," said another spokesman for the...
Ice and Sky (DAAC Study)
"Up till now we've never had very high resolution observations of the Arctic Ocean, and we don't have very good data for validation of low resolution observations," says Ron Kwok, supervisor of the Polar remote sensing group, and Principal Investigator leading the SAR...

Hyperphysics: Electron Spin
reasonably modeled by considering the electron as a spinning sphere. High energy scattering from electrons shows no "size" of the electron down to a resolution of about 10-3 fermis, and at that size a preposterously high spin rate of some 1032 radian/s would be required to ma...
