Earth's nearest neighboring body in the solar system is its moon, yet to date, humans have physically explored just 5% of its surface. It wasn't until 2023—building on Apollo-era data and more ...
the material held its surface temperature nearly constant for the entirety of the test. "Surprisingly, the thermal conductivity of the sample was almost one order of magnitude smaller than the ...
the scientists used the tip of an atomic force microscope to apply a highly localized electric field to the material's surface, forming micrometric patterns with defined thermal conductivity.
The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) reflectometry methods widely used for these purposes are affected by the roughness of the probed surface and the presence of vegetation on it ...
