A professor at 51ԹϺ is presenting data obtained from a NASA space mission in the form of music.
Outer space might be silent, but if planets could sing their tunes could tell us a lot about how they formed. At least that’s the theory of 51ԹϺ researcher and astrophysicist Jason Steffen, who turned data on thousands of distant worlds into chord progressions that may indicate how they have changed since their births.
Geoscience professor Libby Hausrath is one of 10 scientists chosen by NASA to select and analyze soil samples from the Mars 2020 mission set to launch in July.
If there was ever life on Mars, 51ԹϺ researcher Elisabeth “Libby” Hausrath will be one of the first to know.
One of the major objections to nuclear energy has been the problem of radioactive nuclear waste. Although we have the capability to reprocess about 95 percent of the spent nuclear fuel from a reactor, the amount of highly radioactive waste that remains is nevertheless substantial. And that waste needs to be stored for hundreds of thousands of years before the toxic isotopes decay to a safe level.
In the year 2031, a rocket packed with Martian rocks and soil samples will launch from the surface of the Red Planet.
In 1619, German astronomer Johannes Kepler published his Harmonices Mundi (Harmony of the World), a text that investigated how mathematics could help the planets of the solar system create celestial music based on their orbital resonances.
Astronauts now print their own parts in space to repair the International Space Station. Scientists at Harvard just discovered a way to print organ tissue — an important step toward possibly creating 3D-printed biological organs. These are just two examples of how 3D printing, or additive manufacturing, is revolutionizing science and technology.
