The unique properties of holograms could be used to stabilize spacecraft and carry huge amounts of data to the universe. Continue reading Scientists Want to Send Holographic Messages to Nearby Stars on Light Sails
German physicists launched the SpaceDrive project to explore possible sources of error in EmDrive experiments. Their first experiment identified a possible source of false positives in past successful EmDrive tests. Continue reading A German Team Is Now Trying to Make the ‘Impossible’ EmDrive Engine
As a space-faring species, we’ve done a fair job of exploring and exploiting our local neighborhood. We’re pretty good at putting people and machines into orbit, but our galactic-scale signature is pretty tiny. Our radio signals are no more than 100 light-years away, and our farthest physical artifact isn’t even a light-day away from us 40 years after it launched.
Clearly we need to do a better job of getting out there, and that’s the goal of Breakthrough Initiatives’ Starshot program, which aims to launch a nano-spacecraft to Alpha Centauri and get it there fast. The program aims to build …read more
