The transverse load P will produce a shear force V in the positive y direction on a mathematical cut through the beam at point “a”. This shear force is directly responsible for the shear stress τ on ...
In 2024, seven vehicles in western China each transmitted a high-powered microwave beam that converged precisely in both time ...
A Star Force Quest is an endless flyer that's made to promote a virtual band, with a primary aim for kids, but a sure niche ...
The ultimate goal of the lightsail project is to drive a freely accelerating lightsail that is 10 square meters in area and 100 nm or less in thickness. In this first experimental step, the Caltech ...
The farther a probe is from the beam's source, the more power is required to transmit the same force. Estimates range up to 19 gigaelectron volts for a probe out at 100 AU, a very high-energy beam ...
