Let’s say you don’t need to fly quite so far. What about a jet engine? These are the things you mainly see on commercial airliners, but very small jet engines can also be used to make a real-life jetpack.Just like rockets, jet engines produce thrust by shooting mass out the back, which is mostly just air. The energy comes from combusting jet fuel, which is similar to kerosene and is made from petroleum. The increase in the momentum of this ejected matter produces a forward-pushing force.There is a big difference though: The jet engine sucks air in through the front…

Back in the mid-1990s to the early 2000s, Keanu Reeves co-founded and played bass in a grunge band called Dogstar. After quietly reuniting last summer, the group has announced they will be “rolling out some new music” this summer, to be followed by some live shows. Last week, they shared a preview of a rooftop photoshoot on Instagram, and apparently, the reception was so strong that Dogstar couldn’t wait to share more news. “Thank you everyone for the kind comments.

Astronomers using the Gemini South telescope in Chile, operated by NSF’s NOIRLab, have observed the first compelling evidence of a dying sun-like star engulfing an exoplanet. The “smoking gun” of this event was seen in a long and low-energy outburst from the star—the telltale signature of a planet skimming along a star’s surface. This never-before-seen process may herald the ultimate fate of Earth when our own sun nears the end of its life in about five billion years.

Protein plaques in the brain may be caused by failing mitochondriaSebastian Kaulitzki/Alamy IF YOU own a car, you will have noticed the engine getting less efficient with time. The further you drive it, the more fuel it takes to make the same journey – until, eventually, it becomes so underpowered that it needs a physical push to climb even a gentle hill. Now, it is emerging that much the same is true of the human brain. Microscopic structures called mitochondria, found in every brain cell, are quite literally the engines of our thoughts and feelings. As we age, they find it…

In 2009, LinkedIn’s new engineering chief, David Henke, assembled his full crew of coders and managers for the first time and fired off tough questions. “What the heck is wrong with all of you?” was the sanitized gist of it. The fast-growing professional social network had about 50 million users, but every Thursday afternoon it went completely offline as engineers launched new features and fixed bugs. Job seekers couldn’t browse openings. Recruiters paying to trawl the website for candidates were forced to twiddle their thumbs. Clicking on a profile would summon the “wizard of [in],” a jaunty, staff-wielding mascot akin to Twitter’s…

Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital revealed that human ribosomes decode messenger RNA (mRNA) 10 times slower than bacterial ribosomes, but do so more accurately. The study, published today in Nature, used a combination of field-leading structural biology approaches to better understand how ribosomes work. The scientists pinpointed where the process slows down in humans, which will be useful information for developing new therapeutics for cancer and infections. Ribosomes are molecular machines within cells, responsible for synthesizing proteins by decoding mRNA. By conducting mechanistic studies on bacterial and human ribosomes, researchers can understand their similarities and differences to develop…
