MAGNETIC BUBBLES. “Space may seem empty, but it’s actually a dynamic place populated with near-invisible matter, and dominated by forces, in particular those created by magnetic fields. Magnetospheres — the magnetic fields around most planets — exist throughout our solar system. They deflect high-energy, charged particles called cosmic rays that are spewed out by the Sun or come from interstellar space. Along with atmospheres, they happen to protect the planets’ surfaces from this harmful radiation.” https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2017/nasa-investigates-invisible-magnetic-bubbles-in-outer-solar-system/ View in LinkedIn

K2-141b. “Oceans Of Molten Lava And ‘Rocky Rain’ On The Most Extreme Planet Yet. It’s thought that K2-141b is a place where rock is vaporized and falls as a mineral “rocky rain” that replenishes an ocean of molten lava, and supersonic winds that rage over 3,100 mph/5,000 kmph. However, it’s those high temperatures on its day-side that create something bizarre; a cycle something like Earth’s water cycle, but with rock. It’s so hot that rock is thought to evaporate and precipitate. In short, it rains rock.” https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamiecartereurope/2020/11/06/weve-found-oceans-of-molten-lava-and-rocky-rain-on-the-most-extreme-planet-yet-say-scientists/?sh=573707fa4825 View in LinkedIn

MORE ENGINEERING DEVICES. “Coincidence detection systems require two or more events to occur simultaneously in order to activate an output. Amplifiers are built to minimize noise relative to signal, for instance by choosing appropriate time constants for the circuits. Parallel circuits (fail-safe systems) allow an electronic device to survive failures in one of the circuits.” https://www.nature.com/articles/35011540 View in LinkedIn
