Supercomputer simulations advance electric propulsion by tackling ion plume challenges for safer space missions.

Spacecraft powered by electric propulsion could soon be better protected against their own exhaust, thanks to new ...

Predicting the lifetime of an electric ion thruster is notoriously difficult. You have to account for the chamber wall effects, which are not present in space environments. Researchers within several ...

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) near Pasadena, California was ordered closed Wednesday as nearby communities were evacuated. Officials announced on the facility's emergency page that it ...

Ion transport is the movement of ions across a membrane, passively through ion channels or actively through ion pumps such as symporters and antiporters. Iron and manganese are essential nutrients ...

Louis points to a novel-and noble-approach: using Xenon gas. The study found that Xenon gas inhalation suppressed neuroinflammation, reduced brain atrophy, and increased protective neuronal states ...

Xenon gas emerges as a promising treatment for Alzheimer’s, showing benefits in preclinical tests such as reducing brain atrophy and enhancing neuron protection, with human trials starting soon. A ...

Austrian guide, Lukas Furtenbach, has developed a method using small doses of xenon gas to 'pre-acclimatise' mountaineers to the altitude of the peak, according to the Financial Times. Most successful ...

Louis points to a novel—and noble—approach: using Xenon gas. The study found that Xenon gas inhalation suppressed neuroinflammation, reduced brain atrophy, and increased protective neuronal ...

The gas xenon, like the other noble, or inert, gases, is known for doing very little. The class of elements, because of its molecular structure, don’t typically interact with many chemicals.

Louis found Xenon gas inhalation reduced neurodegeneration and boosted protection in preclinical models of Alzheimer’s disease “It is exciting that in both animal models that model different a ...
