Solar sailing is the space equivalent of boat sailing. The idea behind solar sailing is the same except, instead of wind, particles of light emitted by the Sun drive the craft forwar...
Open source companies are unusual and different. says Whitehurst. Like many open companies, Red Hat has learned by doing. Red Hat is not unique here. What are the opportunities for a...
The Amazon River is like a heart, pumping water from the seas through it, and up into the atmosphere through 600 billion trees, which act like lungs. Clouds form, rain falls and the ...

A forest planted by humans, then left to nature’s own devices, typically takes at least 100 years to mature. But what if we could make the process happen ten times faster? In this sh...
There are several open source tools that can help you create useful, informative graphs. Datawrapper is fully open source, and you can download it from their GitHub page and host it ...
We set out to answer a question: over the past 23 million years, what was it that made some species more vulnerable to extinction? Lotze and Tittensor collaborated together in a work...
The Linux Foundation introduced an answer at LinuxCon: a new Linux Foundation Certification Program for both early-career and engineer-level systems administrators. Linux Foundation ...
Once a year, like clockwork, March 14 rolls around and people around the globe celebrate Pi Day. In the past, I’ve joined friends for a 3.14(ish) mile Pi Day run, visited a science m...

For this the team propose exploiting a key property of the ring structure: each time it absorbs a photon, it becomes receptive to photons of a slightly higher energy. ‘Let’s say it s...
To combat errors, physicists must be able to detect that an error has occurred and then correct it in real time, a process known as quantum error correction. To determine if an error...
