NASA | Discovery Comes to Dulles – Video

Posted on by

19-04-2012 10:55 On April 17, 2012 the space shuttle Discovery hitched a ride on the back of a 747 jumbo jet especially designed as a space shuttle transport. It landed at Dulles Airport in Washington, DC, and the process to deliver Discovery to its new home at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center got under way. Through the eyes of a veteran NASA tour guide and aficionado, DJ Emmanuel, we get a behind-the-scenes view of what it was like to be there on such an historic and exciting day!

NASA | Warm Ocean Currents Cause Majority of Ice Loss from Antarctica – Video

Posted on by

25-04-2012 12:09 Warm ocean currents attacking the underside of ice shelves are the dominant cause of recent ice loss from Antarctica. This animation shows the circulation of ocean currents around the western Antarctic ice shelves. The shelves are indicated by the rainbow color; red is thicker (greater than 550 meters), while blue is thinner (less than 200 meters).

NASA Transports Space Shuttle Enterprise to New York – Video

Posted on by

28-04-2012 18:28 On Friday, April 27 Enterprise, the first NASA space shuttle was transported atop a 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft from Dulles International Airport, near Washington, DC to New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport. Enterprise eventually will be displayed at New York's Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum. Though Enterprise, the first space shuttle orbiter never flew in space, it was crucial to the Space Shuttle Program because its series of approach and landing tests in 1977 proved the orbiter could fly in the atmosphere and land like an airplane, except without power -- like a glider. Includes footage of Enterprise on the ground at Dulles and takeoff from Dulles.

Porcelain – the nanotechnology of yesterday – Video

Posted on by

17-03-2012 06:52 Eager to know the porcelain of tomorrow ? Nanotechnology is a cross-sectional technology that, on the one hand, serves many different sectors of industry and, on the other hand, relies on competencies and supplier services from these sectors. Saxony is characterized by a tight network of producing industries and suppliers that give impetus to the development and economic use of nanotechnologies and open up new channels. Thus, nano experts benefit from close exchange with the electronics, mechanical engineering and plant construction industrial sectors, which are particularly strong between Chemnitz, Dresden and Freiberg. A unique concentration of commercial enterprises providing extensive knowledge and expertise in the sectors microelectronics and nanoelectronics, photovoltaics, organic & printed electronics, energy?efficient systems, telecommunications technology, and integrated sensor technology is found in Saxony. Grow further. A fruitful combination of American pioneering spirit and Saxon renovative power resulted in the first application of truly large scale.

3D imaging: nanotechnology and the quest for better medical sensors (15 Mar 2012) – Video

Posted on by

20-03-2012 09:15 Professor Ian Robinson (UCL London Centre for Nanotechnology) The smaller the scales we want to look at, the bigger the tools we need to use, and with complex equipment of this magnitude, it is becoming more and more common for research groups to share central user facilities. Focusing on UCL's use of central user synchrotron radiation facilities (sub-atomic particle accelerators), this lecture highlights developments in the 3D imaging of nanomaterials in the ultimate quest for creating better medical sensors.
