NASA:s Kepler-telescope is near end of the fuel, and it can be pointed to some specific solar system for collecting specific data from the specific exoplanet system

NASA:s Kepler mission is coming near its end, because fuel of the telescope is running low, and this means, that this telescope cannot be turned to the targets anymore. Kepler has been found new exoplanets, and it has given information, that maybe there is a habitable planet somewhere in the Universe.

Some people think, that maybe this telescope can be pointed at some point in the universe, where are known exoplanets. This system could be Gliese-581, or some other system, what can be observed from Earth, and this telescope can collect the information of this particular system. Maybe it should be Alpha Centauri, where we're at least founded exoplanets.

But this is only speculation. Kepler telescope has been used to demonstrate low-cost space telescope technology, and it has given very much for science and engineering, and the data what this telescope have been collected, would be analyzed years after its mission have been ended. And this information would be used to selecting targets for James Webb and other very powerful telescopes, what operates outside Pluto trajectory.

James Webb-telescope would represent the brand new design for space telescopes. This telescope has the table, where the telescope optical system stands. This structure allows turn telescope the way, that the guidance rockets would not need use every time when this telescope selects the target. And if those telescopes would send far enough from Earth, the temperature would be very low, what allows use also infrared radiation for making observations for other solar systems.

New AI-based operating systems revolutionize drone technology.

"University of Missouri researchers are advancing drone autonomy using AI, focusing on navigation and environmental interaction without GPS reliance. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, AI Unleashed: Revolutionizing Autonomous Drone Navigation) The GPS is an effective navigation system. But the problem is, how to operate that system when somebody jams it? The GPS is a problematic system. Its signal is quite easy to cut. And otherwise, if the enemy gets the GPS systems in their hands, they can get GPS frequencies. That helps to make the jammer algorithms against those drones. The simple GPS is a very vulnerable thing. Done swarms are effective tools when researchers want to control large areas. The drone swarm's power base is in a non-centralized calculation methodology. In that model, drones share their CPU power with other swarm members. This structure allows us to drive complicated AI-based solutions. And in drone swarms, the swarm operates as an entirety. That ca...

Hydrogen is one of the most promising aircraft fuels.

Aircraft can use hydrogen in fuel cells. Fuel cells can give electricity to the electric engines that rotate propellers. Or they can give electricity to electric jet engines. In electric jet engines. Electric arcs heat air, and the expansion of air or some propellant pushes aircraft forward. Or, the aircraft can use hydrogen in its turbines or some more exotic engines like ramjets. Aircraft companies like Airbus and some other aircraft manufacturers test hydrogen as the turbine fuel. Hydrogen is one of the most interesting fuels for next-generation aircraft that travel faster than ever. Hydrogen fuel is the key element in the new scramjet and ramjet-driven aircraft. Futuristic hypersonic systems can reach speeds over Mach 20. Today the safe top speed of those aircraft that use air-breathe hypersonic aircraft is about Mach 5-6. Hydrogen is easy to get, and the way to produce hydrogen determines how ecological that fuel can be. The electrolytic systems require elec...

The neuroscientists get a new tool, the 1400 terabyte model of human brains.

"Six layers of excitatory neurons color-coded by depth. Credit: Google Research and Lichtman Lab" (SciteechDaily, Harvard and Google Neuroscience Breakthrough: Intricately Detailed 1,400 Terabyte 3D Brain Map) Harvard and Google created the first comprehensive model of human brains. The new computer model consists of 1400 terabytes of data. That thing would be the model. That consists comprehensive dataset about axons and their connections. And that model is the path to the new models or the human brain's digital twins. The digital twin of human brains can mean the AI-based digital model. That consists of data about the blood vessels and neural connections. However, the more advanced models can simulate electric and chemical interactions in the human brain. This project was impossible without AI. That can collect the dataset for that model. The human brain is one of the most complicated structures and interactions between neurotransmitters, axons, and the electrochemica...
