The robotic X-37b space plane launched atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas v rocket today (May 20) at 11:05 a m. EDT (1505 GMT) from Florida's Cape canaveral Air force station.
You can see a video of the X-37b space plane's launch here. Most details about the space plane's orbital activities are classified

as its atomselectrical charges balance each other out across the plane. But curvature in graphene compresses the electron clouds of the bonds on the concave side and stretches them on the convex side,
a spintronic circuit needs a well-controlled source of spin-polarized electrons that are injected into a transport channel material,
it requires a transport channel material with long spin lifetimes because (polarized) spins fade away (i e.,

and so is Alq3 for spin transport. Project Leader Christina Hacker elaborates: obalt surfaces are really interesting for electronic applications.
which is critical in electronic transport through the SAM and into the organic semiconductor. This finding suggests that the rapid oxidation of cobalt does not necessarily have to be a limiting factor in organic spintronics.
we need spin injection, spin transport, and spin detection, Jang explains. ur latest work with SAMS only concerns the interface relevant to the spin injection part.
The next step should be to find a better medium for spin transport since only short-distance couple of hundred nanometersf spin transport has been demonstrated in organic materials such as Alq3 so far.
There have been studies suggesting that long-distance spin transport in organics is achievable. Our grand plan is to make a whole device and show really long-distance (in this tiny device,
over a micrometer) spin transport through an organic semiconductor. r

#Supersonic Aircraft patented by an Airbus Group Company The European aeronautic defence and space company has patented a revolutionary aircraft that leaves every other supersonic jet far behind.
The sonic boom created by this aircraft is surprisingly less than that of the Concorde. The aircraft is equipped with two ramjets under its delta wings, a pair of Turbojets under the front part of the fuselage and a rocket engine at the rear end of the fuselage.
The turbojets are used for propelling the aircraft during taxiing and takeoff. The passengers and the crew are placed in hammocks for improved comfort.
Once the aircraft climbs to a certain altitude, the turbojets are retracted into the fuselage. At this point, the rocket engine is ignited at full power causing the aircraft to travel vertically like a rocket at supersonic speeds.
Because of this vertical trajectory, the energy of the supersonic boom is dissipated in all horizontal radial directions
and does not encounter the ground. The ingenuity that makes higher supersonic speeds possible lies in the pair of fins situated on the outer ends of the delta wings.
At speeds less than MACH 1, these fins are oriented horizontally. However, once the speed exceeds MACH 1
the fins are oriented vertically. This causes the centre of pressure to be maintained at the same point and thus providing greater stability.
the aircraft curves into a horizontal trajectory at which point the rocket engine is powered off and closed by a door to make it streamlined.
The ram jets are ignited then and the aircraft is propelled horizontally at supersonic speeds. At 4. 5 mach, you can reach from London to NY in 1 hr.
Currently it takes a 7 hrs flight. The flight path of this aircraft technically makes it the highest roller coaster in the world.

This summer, United airlines will starting flying planes using fuel derived from farm animal poop and fats.

The first partially poo-powered flight will be a short one, taking off from Los angeles and landing in San francisco. Then for next two weeks, United will fly four to five flights a day between LA and San francisco,
all of which will contain about 30 percent biofuel. The animal-based propellent is produced by California-based Altair Fuels.
Today, United will announce a $30 million investment in Fulcrum Bioenergy, one of the largest makers of aviation biofuels.
Globally, airlines have been looking at biofuel use for some time, but this marks the biggest ever investment in alternative fuels by a major commercial airline, reports The New york times. Eventually, United plans to integrate biofuels into its entire fleet.
Typical fossil fuels used in aviation are formed from the organic remains of dead plants and animals that have been buried deep within the Earth.
Burning these fuels is great for combustion but it also releases the organic materialscarbon components into the atmosphere,
