This is the experience of hang gliding. The hang glider's wing, called a delta wing or Rogallo wing, is an outgrowth of NASA engineer Francis Rogallo's research on kites and parachutes in the 1960s. Rogallo had proposed the wing as a method of returning spacecraft to Earth. The ...
Not so fast, 5G fans Not everyone is so optimistic, though. "Even if I reduce the latency to 1 millisecond, that only gets you to the base station. For most normal things you're doing on the phone, it's got to go to the cloud anyway," so latency will still be a problem, said...
NASA’sArtemis programplans to return humans to the moon this decade to practice and prepare for a Mars mission as early as the 2030s. While NASA has several reasons for pursuing such an ambitious mission, the biggest is scientific exploration and discovery. I’man atmospheric scientist and for...
The fastest spacecraft is NASA's Parker Solar Probe, as it keeps breaking its own speed records. On Dec. 24, 2024, the Parker Solar Probe reached a top speed of 430,000 miles per hour (692,000 km per hour). NASA's Parker Solar Probe is currently the fastest spacecraft ever launched...
In this month the winter cold fastens its grip, and the nights are at their longest and darkest. Also sometimes called the Moon before Yule (Yule is Christmas, and this time the moon is only just after it; the next full moon that falls on Christmas Day will come in 2034). The term...

The Neural Engineering Framework (Eliasmith & Anderson, 2003) is a long-standing method for implementing high-level algorithms constrained by low-level neurobiological details. In recent years, this method has been expanded to incorporate more biological details and applied to new tasks. This paper ...
