Although confocal and two-photon microscopy can image a single plane within a living sample,

Additional airbases in the nearby cities of Diyarbakir and Batman will be opened to allied planes for emergencies.

We may also see the location of airplanes.""The system-conceived in an EU research project-is designed to complement existing airport security systems already in place e

This means that production lines have to switch from one variety of aeroplane to another using different machines and different setups for the machines.

PRESS can help significantly reduce costs by having the machines themselves adapt to different aeroplane models

or a cargo-hold from damaging the structure or tearing a hole in the fuselage and bringing down the plane.

The primary challenge was to make these state-of-the-art materials contain the rapid gas expansion that occurs in an explosion strong enough to rip open the aluminium fuselage of a plane.

One of the major potential uses is on cargo planes not to confine terrorist bombs, but to transport dangerous materials."

According to Zangani, the first Fly-Bags are expected to be installed in commercial passenger planes in 2013.

a special imaging device known as a focal plane array (FPA) gives highly detailed information on a sample area in minutes.

making it easier to image the entire brain without bleaching the probes. e can now scan an entire plane at one time instead of a point,

Longo likens the effect to lightening a plane of excess cargo. During each cycle of fasting, this depletion of white blood cells induces changes that trigger stem cell-based regeneration of new immune system cells.

But seen from the side three distinct layers are revealed with sulfur atoms in their own planes above and below the molybdenum.

Volman suggests the material would make a compelling competitor to recently touted nanotube-based aerogels for deicing airplanes in the winter. e have the technology;

To improve amplification the researchers moved all the contacts to the same plane at the top surface of the vertical transistor.

In the MIP-SL process a 3d digital model of an object is sliced by a set of horizontal planes

unlike bottles for petroleum or gas burners that cannot be carried on airplanes and must be sourced at destination.

#Powerup 3. 0 A paper airplane controlled by your smartphone Powerup 3. 0 Scientists have spent so much time making amazing airplanes,

for all that great work, there s been surprisingly little work in the creation of better paper airplanes.

##Though it s called 3. 0, it s the paper airplane 2. 0 for most of us.

To ascend or descend the plane use the throttle level. To turn it, tilt your iphone in the direction you d like the paper plane to head.

Real talk for a moment: It s somewhat depressing that we re now controlling our paper airplanes with iphones.

I feel like I m supposed to think that, and in some dark recess of my tech-loving heart, I do.

that sort of dedication to the paper airplane seems worth a $30 pledge. Via Dvice Share Thissubscribedel. icio. usfacebookredditstumbleupontechnorat d

With some economy airlines charging significantly more to sit in an exit row or close to the front of the plane,

He s taken it on planes on many occasions as part of a project that began some years ago in the Marshall islands.

With the top speed of a these trains just 25 percent less than the average speed of a commercial airplane (which travels at about 800 kilometers per hour), one can travel faster between city center to city center

The findings, reported in the journal Science, could lead to cheaper and greener cars, planes and electronics.

and onboard battery storage that allows the planes to fly at night. The drones are huge aircraft the smaller model,

The problem with solar planes is that they are limited to smaller payloads, said drone expert Patrick Egan.

That information is combined with multi-spectral images of fields taken by advanced camera systems from satellites and airplanes.

proven techniques already widely used in the likes of smart phones, cars and airplanes. It has been estimated there are already 50 MEMS sensors in a modern car.

IBM said the materials could even potentially be used in airplanes, where their strength, light weight,

resistance to stress and self-healing abilities could allow them to be used on airplane wings.

"In addition to the hard material that IBM says could be used for airplane wings, they also developed an elastic gel that is mostly liquid

"It is like an airplane with wings upside down,"Graham Hawkes, founder and chief technical officer of Hawkes Ocean Technologies, told the Chronicle."

Also airplanes etched in these nanostructures could potentially avoid the dangers of water freezing on the wings.

and flown again much like commercial airplanes. As long as we continue to throw away rockets and spacecraft we will never have true access to space says Musk.

Like passengers in today's commercial aeroplanes riders of the Dragon V2 won't get much leg room in the capsule's tight quarters.

or the air flows that make aeroplane flights bumpy. Now Sandra Chapman of the University of Warwick UK and her colleagues have examined the solar wind's behaviour using NASA's twin STEREO spacecraft.

while the two lobes on the horizontal plane consist of slower-moving particles (watch a NASA video of the tail in action).

and everything is defined in planes. In many applications you want the three-dimensionality: 3-D printing is going to make a big difference in the kinds of systems we can put together

if you take the area of the plane and the solid angle of light coming out from that plane, that is fixed,

Cossairt says. hat that means is that if you take the 3-D image size

For example, in trying to prevent the buildup of ice on an airplane wing, the contact time of raindrops is critical:

#Finding blood clots before they wreak havoc Life-threatening blood clots can form in anyone who sits on a plane for a long time is confined to bed

An additional major advantage is the ability to bring these models on commercial airplanes, whereas real parts of bombs are allowed never.

#Bending but not breaking in search of new materials Making a paper airplane in school used to mean trouble.

But seen from the side three distinct layers are revealed with sulfur atoms in their own planes above and below the molybdenum.

What we see in the images are short 5-to 6-nanometer planes and a lot of edge as though the material had drilled bore holes all the way through.

""A simple plane wave has the same polarization everywhere, "says Arno Rauschenbeutel, "but when the intensity of the light changes locally, the polarization changes too."

The rotational plane of the light wave pivots by 90 degrees.""Then, the direction of propagation is perpendicular to the spin, just like a bicycle, moving into a direction

and everything is defined in planes. In many applications you want the three-dimensionality: 3-D printing is going to make a big difference in the kinds of systems we can put together

Srtio3 can be viewed like a layer cake with alternating planes of Sro and Tio2. Thus in principle when matching Srtio3 with another material there is a choice as to

In fluorinated graphene the fluorine atoms do stick up out of the plane of carbon atoms but the physical changes in height paled in comparison to the changes of local energy each fluorine atom produced.

Other groups of scientists have assembled such planes of nanoparticles, essentially floating them on a liquid surface,

If planes were not reusable very few people would fly he said. Spacex plans to make rocket stages reusable

the airplane's speed means that you'll be switching from tower to tower faster than your phone

Instead devices in airplane mode meaning devices with all their radios (Wi-fi Bluetooth and cellular) turned off would be just fine to use.

and flipped your gadget to airplane mode watch away. Gadget manufacturers have been campaigning for years for a change in the FAA's policy

when the plane is below 10000 feet). Amazon especially is annoyed as its Kindle ebook reader suffers a distinct weakness compared with physical books given that you aren't currently allowed to use a Kindle during part of your flight.

Amazon has tested previously interference on its own by testing an airplane packed full of Kindles as an Amazon representative told the AP.#The advisory panel's decision is likely to be implemented by the FAA;

"he says,"for the skin of the plane.""It's a sample of advanced composite,

Layered sheets of graphene keep their properties in-plane, but exhibit little stiffness or thermal conductance from sheet to sheet,

whether linear or circular, features electric fields oriented in a single plane. With circularly polarized light,

the plane is continually rotating through 360 degrees.)One of the distinguishing capabilities of circularly polarized light (CPL) is that it can discern the difference between right-handed and left-handed versions of molecules property known as chirality.

it has to be scanned mechanically along the entire focal plane, a process that takes something like an hour.

including whether it been placed in airplane mode, or set solely to vibration. Using a combination of various bits of information,

The separation of the control plane from the power plane makes a foundation for fully configurable ecosystem.

Planes and helicopters can be terribly expensive for collecting this overhead video and measurement data, though.

and predicts that it could be used in paint applied to airplanes and satellites, however the idea to incorporate it into a wearable technology came from Pinar Guvenc, Inanc Eray and Gonzalo Carbajo, partners of Eray Carbajo,

which permitted its transport inside an airplane. This incidentally shows how little we have begun really to explore the possibilities of 3d printing,

while a specific inverter is included in the kit in case the standard Mars analogue mission battery pack cannot be transported on the plane due to varying airline regulations

This capability supports"materials by design,"a concept that enables the development of unique new materials for function-specific applicability, such as lighter, stronger fiber composites for airplane wings;

one of the world first supersonic civilian airplanes, which flew from 1976 to 2003 and became a watchword for travelling in style.

a European-designed aeroplane capable of cruising speeds up to eight times faster than sound (8, 500 km h or 5, 280 mph) taking passengers from Brussels to Sydney in 2 hours and 55 minutes.

At the AIAA Hypersonic Space Plane conference in Glasgow in Scotland in July, a paper submitted by Lapcat-II researchers said their early airliner tests suggested such a design would be greener than current aircraft,

One is a Mach 5 plane the Lapcat-A2 powered by a precooled air-turbo ramjet;

and a promising Esa-designed Mach 8 plane, also powered by a ramjet engine. A ramjet is an air-breathing jet, with no major moving parts.

Ramjets can move a plane very fast. But how do you power them? Fuel choice is important,

says Hideyuki Taguchi, leader of Jaxa hypersonic airplane research. Hunger for hydrogen But, deriving hydrogen efficiently is one main factor for high operating costs.

sulphur oxides or soot like today subsonic airplanes, there is another issue. Water vapour produced by hydrogen combustion stays in the stratosphere for a long time

And Lockheed martin has a commercial plane, the N+2, that will travel at Mach 1. 7. There one problem with flying so fast,

when a supersonic airplane changes its speed, turns or manoeuvres. In a superboom the ground noise of a sonic boom is two

As the European hypersonic plane will fly higher, its ground shock waves will be spread out and produce a smaller shock wave.

and Boeing to design airplanes that break the sound barrier more quietly. From 2020 to 2025 it may be possible that airplanes could then exceed the sound barrier over populated land without causing a major disturbance.

In Europe, Steelant team tested their 300-seat design albeit a 1: 120 scale model, at speeds of Mach 8 within a wind tunnel.

While the design consumes two times more fuel per second than a Mach 4 plane, it gets to the destination in roughly half the time so the fuel consumed overall during the trip is roughly the same.

When we have a lighter airplane, we have lower fuel consumption and smaller tanks, which makes the vehicle again smaller,

Airbus and Aerion aeroplane tests will start in 2019. The European A2 Mach 5 aeroplane may take another 20 years to complete.

The Esa Mach 8 aeroplane might become commercially sustainable sometime in the mid 21st Century.

The Concordes and Tupolevs that paved the way for supersonic air travel in the 1970s now gather dust in museums.

Cells connect and communicate within a realistic geometry, rather than merely across a flat plane as in a 2-D culture.

and, perhaps most worryingly, airplanes and trains. Boisvert told Infiltrate he was concerned initially that a deadly July 2013 train crash in Spain was caused by a hacker (it turned out to be human error.

And some cybersecurity experts fear that hackers aboard an aircraft could bring down the plane using the onboard Wi-fi many commercial jets now offer to passengers."

Airbus said the plane would be targeted mainly at business travel and VIP passengers"who require transcontinental return journeys within one day,

The document states that the supersonic plane could carry 20 passengers or two to three tonnes and reach up to 4. 5 times the speed of sound (Mach 4. 5) around 5 500 kilometres per hour.

the plane could cover the 5, 600-kilometre distance between New york and London, normally a seven to eight hour flight, in an hour.

However, that doesn't take into account that the plane wouldn't be at its top speed for the entire duration of the flight.

The plane would achieve its extreme speed with a combination of three sets of engines turbojets for taxiing, takeoff and landing;

The turbojets and rocket motor fold into the body of plane when not in use and the plane also has adjustable fins to make it more aerodynamic.

It would be fuelled by hydrogen and liquid oxygen. The speed of the plane would be double that of two previously built supersonic planes, neither

of which is still in service: The Concorde, built by Aerospatiale and British Aircraft Corp. The Tupolev tu-144 or"Charger"built by Voronezh Aircraft Production Association.

The plane does that by being"near-vertical, "like a rocket, while ramping up to supersonic speed

"The sound energy dissipates in a ring around the plane, parallel to the ground, so that no shockwave hits the ground.

The only noise would be directly under the plane, "is confined to the vicinity of the airport

For example, last summer, it filed a patent to bicycle-style seats on planes that would make it possible to cram more passengers in the same amount of space.

The FAA now receives about 100 reports a month from pilots who say they've seen drones flying near planes

Never mind the HS2 rail link he sees transport revolutionised as planes, trains and cars are replaced by craft that can whisk us from London to Sydney in a just a few hours by flying most of the way in the outer limits of our atmosphere. he most important thing is that Emdrive is green,

Last month, Air force bosses revealed they hope to have a hypersonic plane capable of crossing countries in minutes by 2023.

'From the top of the tower, space planes will launch in a single stage to orbit,

Liquid-oxygen or kerosene rockets would be fired to enable the plane to rapidly climb higher in the sky

349km/h) While scramjet engines are under development for drones and military planes, it could be years until they are used for consumer jets

They also believe the unique water-repelling nature of the material could be used in paint applied to airplanes and satellites or as part of electromagnetic shields for such things as unmanned aerial vehicles.

At one end of that plane there is a so-called quantum dot: a tiny trap for electrons, only a hundred nanometers wide, in which owing to quantum mechanics the electrons exist in well-defined energy states similar to those of an atom.

whether for an airplane, car, bridge, mobile device, or biological implant, engineers strive to make the material strong

#Solar-powered plane lands in Ahmedabad on second leg of world trip A Swiss-made solar powered aircraft landed in Ahmedabad on Tuesday night,

The aircraft's wings are covered by more than 17,000 solar cells that recharge the plane's batteries.

On Monday, Borschberg, who co-founded the Solar impulse company that built the plane, flew the Si2 from Abu dhabi, the capital of United arab emirates, to nearby Oman in the first leg of the epic journey.

if the plane isn't flying level. The SI2 aircraft has a wingspan of 72 meters (236 feet),

This is why United airlines and Delta air lines banned bulk lithium battery shipments on passenger planes. When Stanford drilled through its aluminum battery pouch

this is accomplished by synchronizing the projector so that as the laser scans a particular plane, the camera accepts light only from that plane.

Alternatively, if other camera hardware is used, the mathematical framework developed by the team can compute energy-efficient codes that optimize the amount of energy that reaches the camera. e have a way of choosing the light rays we want to capture

It's also a very odd looking airplane with a gothic delta wing that gives it a strangely truncated look

it would take off like a conventional plane using ordinary turbojet engines, but once in the air, an open door in the stern of the plane reveals a rocket motor.

When this fires, it sends the aircraft into a near vertical trajectory, accelerating it to supersonic speeds.

As the airplane approaches Mach one, the turbojets shut down and retract into the fuselage. On completion of the acceleration phase the plane is now flying at anywhere from Mach 4 to Mach 4. 5 at an altitude of 30,000 to 35,000 m (100,000 to 150

000 ft). The rocket motor shuts down and is concealed again as the aft door slides shut to reduce drag.

Metal-oxide nanosheets were arranged on a single plane using a magnetic field. The nanosheets were fixed then in place using a process called light-triggered in-situ vinyl polymerization

So when a researcher airplane made a wrong turn during a thunderstorm and flew straight into a mile-wide cloud,

Already, today engines employ elaborate cooling mechanisms that divert air for cooling that otherwise would be used to power the plane.

It is winning about 75 percent of the market for planes that size, and CFM has taken orders for 8, 000 of them worth $100 billion.

The option to just drop something out of a plane and then totally forget about it hasn't existed, according to DARPA.

the team arranged metal-oxide nanosheets into a single plane within a material by using a magnetic field

The nanosheets ended up stuck within the polymer, aligned in a single plane. Due to electrostatic forces, the sheets create electrostatic resistance in one direction but not in the other.

bendable electronics could have many uses, such as monitoring patients'health and keeping tabs on airplanes.

such as an airplane's wing, or even a person's skin. In aircraft applications, Leever explains,

on a multilayered film where the magnetic moments are aligned normal to the plane. They used ion beam irradiation to modify the interface between the dots

or the wings of airplanes.""This is the first time anyone has achieved such a broad range of color on a one-layer, thin and flexible surface,"concluded Change-Hasnain."

Photons are wave packets that vibrate in a specific plane the direction of polarization. The state of the qdots determines the direction of polarization of the photon."

Planes are modelled on birds and many drugs have their origins in plants. Researchers at the Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering have taken it a step further:

and expanded in a plane when a voltage is applied between electrodes. In contrast to actuators based on rigid materials such as silicon, dielectric elastomers can reach a very large extent of stretch, often exceeding 100 percent elongation while not breaking,

Their soft nanoparticles stick to the plane where oil and water meet, but do not stick to one another.
