Microsoft Flight Simulator Landing on Windows 10 Next Month
Fans of Microsoft’s famous Flight Sim won’t have long to wait until the latest incarnation arrives. From a report: This promises to be the most detailed and authentic version to date, with incredibly accurate landscapes that are ever-changing, coupled with highly detailed aircraft, covering everything from light planes to commercial jets. Microsoft Flight Simulator has been around since 1982 — feeling…
Spherical Solar Cells Soak Up Scattered Sunlight
An anonymous reader quotes a report from IEEE Spectrum: Flat solar panels still face big limitations when it comes to making the most of the available sunlight each day. A new spherical solar cell design aims to boost solar power harvesting potential from nearly every angle without requiring expensive moving parts to keep tracking the sun’s apparent movement across the sky….

SpaceX Releases Crew Dragon Simulator To Show What It’s Like To Dock With the ISS
New submitter quantumghost writes: SpaceX has opened up a new online simulator that mimics the Crew Dragon capsule controls. The game was released in anticipation of SpaceX’s upcoming launch of Crew Dragon to the International Space Station. On May 27th, it’ll be the first American-built spacecraft to haul American astronauts to the ISS in 11 years. The goal of the simulator…
Technique offers path for biomanufacturing medicines during space flights
An instrument currently aboard the International Space Station could grow E.coli bacteria in space, opening a new path to bio-manufacturing drugs during long term space flights. Research published today in Nature Microgravity used an Earth-bound simulator of the space station instrument to grow E.coli, demonstrating that it can be nurtured with methods that promise to be more suitable for space travel…
Model simulator helps researchers map complex physics phenomena
To understand the behavior of quantum particles, imagine a pinball game—but rather than one metal ball, there are billions or more, all ricocheting off each other and their surroundings. …
Initialization of quantum simulators by sympathetic cooling
Simulating computationally complex many-body problems on a quantum simulator has great potential to deliver insights into physical, chemical and biological systems. Physicists had previously implemented Hamiltonian dynamics but the problem of initiating quantum simulators to a suitable quantum state remains unsolved. In a new report on Science Advances, Meghana Raghunandan and a research team at the institute for theoretical physics, QUEST…
Looks like Earth has a new natural moon
Astronomers have announced that Earth has a new mini-moon, a small asteroid apparently captured into Earth orbit 3 years ago. It’s been designated 2020 CD3. Source: https://earthsky.org/space/new-natural-temporary-moon-for-earth-2020-cd3…
