Establishing sustained operations at the Moon and Mars presents a multitude of opportunities and challenges NASA has yet to encounter. Many of these activities require new technologies and processes to ensure the agency is prepared for its ambitious Artemis missions and those beyond. One of those challenges is working with cryogenic fluids, meaning fluids existing in a liquid state between minus 238 degrees Fahrenheit and absolute zero (minus 460 F). These fluids – liquid hydrogen (the most difficult to work with), methane, and oxygen – are vital to spacecraft propulsion and life support systems. The fluids may also be produced…

As a young boy I used to catch a bus home from school. The journey took a little over an hour and took me past District Six, an area that had once been one of the most vibrant multi-racial communities in South Africa. The priest in District Six, John da Costa, had been a family friend and we occasionally visited, including at New Year for its famous Cape Carnival. Hardly any white people would go to the carnival. In 1966, the government declared District Six a whites-only area under the Group Areas Act 1950, with forced removals of all “non-white”…

Kate Hudson is a force to be reckoned with as an Academy Award-nominated actress, self-made entrepreneur and best-selling author. She’s also a loving and doting mother to three, wonderful children who range in age from 5 to 20 years old. Over the years, life has certainly imitated art for Kate, 44, as she’s been romantically linked to rock stars of iconic bands – just like her character Penny Lane from 2000’s Almost Famous which earned her a Golden Globe award – and those relationships have expanded her family in beautiful ways. The multi-hyphenate mom often gushes about how proud she is of…

Hyundai’s India subsidiary has fixed a bug that exposed its customers’ personal information in the South Asian market. TechCrunch reviewed a portion of the exposed data that included the registered owner name, mailing address, email address, and phone number of Hyundai Motor India customers who have serviced their vehicles at any of the company’s authorized service stations across India. The bug also disclosed vehicle details, including the registration number, color, engine number, and mileage covered. In a phone conversation on Thursday, Hyundai Motor India spokesperson Siddhartha P. Saikia said the company would provide a statement. When shared by email, the…

Zelt provides companies with a platform from which they can run and automate HR, IT and financial operations across their workforce in a single system.     Why Did You Start Your Company, And What Inspired You To Do So?   As a former private equity investor, I could see first hand the value that efficient and more automated digital back-office systems can unlock for an organisation. However, most companies are using inadequate systems and processes, which is slowing down agility and growth – and ultimately risk the success of the company. So, we’re helping companies unlock that value.  …

By adjusting the occupancy of the 4f orbitals, it is possible to induce the HAT mechanism for the activation of C-H bonds. Credit: Science China Press As the “holy grail” in the field of chemistry, the catalytic activation of methane has been a topic of great interest in the field of heterogeneous catalysis. Gas-phase experiments provide an ideal platform for exploring catalytic reaction mechanisms and gaining in-depth understanding of electronic structures. Over the past few decades, a large number of substances capable of activating methane in the gas phase have been discovered, and even complete catalytic cycles for methane conversion…

Mid Sussex District Council has been liaising with Network Rail to create step-free access to both platforms at Wivelsfield station. A new footbridge, stairs, lifts and step-free routes will be constructed to ensure the station is accessible for all. Currently, only platform two has step-free access via the car park at the Gordon Road entrance, and platform one can only be accessed from Leylands Road or the station subway, both of which require passengers to use steps.
