Aviation industry is marching towards the development of the next generation turbo fan engine and soon an eco friendly, noise-free and fuel efficient engine is no longer a dream
Welcome ,here i will give you the reasons why i have chosen this topic to discuss with you.To put it the first place,i still didn't understand the perfect reason why it is called a "unidentified" flying object as there were/are plenty of cases registered about witnessing this so called Alien space craft.As told in a book named "The Secrets of the Saucers",by Mr.Orfeo Angelussi,who witnessed the sp
A method to detect small cracks in a metal or homogeneous material in a non-destructive way by means of natural frequencies was first proposed by Adams et al (1978). He proposed that the crack size and location on a bar specimen could be found using natural frequencies of free vibration ignoring the natural modes all together. reference www.aeroway.ca
Gadget blog GearCrave, in their "first of a series 'Dream Job' Interviews," has a great back-and-forth with International Space Station astronaut and all-around-good-guy Clayton Anderson.
Aircraft delays due to FAA mandated inspections. More to come?
Reactive or proactive.
I tagged this with every category since I review books in all realms of science.
Though I plan to maintain my Science Shelf archive of book reviews, I will now also publish the reviews on Science Blog.
There’s a strange wave phenomenon that’s plagued rocket scientists for years, a lurking threat with the power to destroy an engine at almost any time. For decades, scientists have had a limited understanding of how or why it happens because they could not replicate or investigate the problem under controlled laboratory conditions.
For those of you have have been wondering about whether ScienceDebate2008, the latest news is that it has morphed into a different but still viable form.
It won't take place in PA, but it may take place on PBS.

The National Science Foundation awards around 900 graduate fellowships each year to a wide variety of sciences, including everything from linguistics and mathematics to physics. These fellowships are a big deal, being both very hard to get and making a significant impact on the finances of the awardees.
So which universities get the most?
Have a gadget in your house that you like? If you were to trace its genealogy, you shouldn't be surprised if you found out that NASA is its grandpa.
A rebuilt Apollo Moon lander returning to the Moon?
I got this from the folks at ScienceDebate2008 and I'm passing it along.
Now that the primaries have narrowed the number of viable major-party presidential candidates to three, ScienceDebate2008 promises to give each of them an opportunity to address an issue that is not strictly partisan: science and technology policy and what it means for the future of our nation and the world.
Philadelphia's Franklin Institute has announced its prestigious awards, the Benjamin Franklin Medals and the Bower Awards for significant achievements in science and business leadership.
The Franklin Medal has been awarded for 184 years, far longer than the Nobel Prize, and its recipients have included many of the greatest names in international science and technology.
I'd still like to see the candidates speak for themselves on scientific issues, but the Physics Today blog has a useful posting.
