He was wearing a large oblong backpack and looked for all the world like a millennial Ghostbuster.
And then I remembered what was going on. I d seen this headline: Help Defend the Planet by Detecting Infamous Asteroid Apophis! and was naturally intrigued.
Actually, it was my wife who was even more stirred. She s a scientist whose idea of relaxation is to scroll through Space Instagram.
The dire planet defense warning and encouragement for citizen scientists to come together for mankind had come via a company called Unistellar.
It s the creator of the eVscope, a digital telescope that has unprecedented power and simplicity. If only America could claim the same.
Sensors, the other quantum revolution
January 20, 2021CNRS
Medicine, civil engineering, telecommunications, natural resources management… Quantum sensors offering both unique sensitivity and accuracy are about to revolutionise detection in a number of fields.
Identifying every pipe and cavity beneath our cities, anticipating a volcanic eruption, or observing brain activity in the most minute detail, these are only some of the tantalising promises made by a new type of instrument with unprecedented sensitivity: quantum sensors. Of all the quantum technologies under development, they are among the most advanced, with some even emerging from the laboratory and reaching the market!
Exceptional sensitivity
As their name suggests, quantum sensors use the properties of quantum physics, the theory that describes phenomena on the atomic scale. Central to these devices are microscopic objects (photons, atoms, electrons, etc.) that physicists can now manipulate at will, and even place wi
All together now … with feeling:
“It’s aliens!”
OK, the team, led by Cornell postdoctoral researcher Jake D. Turner, Philippe Zarka of the Observatoire de Paris – Paris Sciences et Lettres University and Jean-Mathias Griessmeier of the Université d’Orléans, isn’t yelling that with feeling along with us, but it’s a great signal they’ve picked up using the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) radio telescope in the Netherlands. The exoplanet – a hot Jupiter gaseous giant named Tau Boötes b – is in a tight orbit around Tau Boötis, a binary system consisting of a yellow-white dwarf and a dim red dwarf that is 51 light years from Earth in the Boötis constellation. The radio bursts are almost certainly coming from the exoplanet, which has Turner’s postdoctoral advisor and astronomy professor Ray Jayawardhana pretty excited.
