How the tethers that mediate these contacts are regulated 2 remains unclear, mainly because these contact sites are smaller than the diffraction limit (the smallest distance at which two objects ...

That's when he attended a lecture by that same science-fiction author; Robert Forward was talking about "space tethers." For 50 years, people have relied on rockets to move things around in space.

Tethers use cell phone signals, GPS and, in some cases, landline phones to track defendants' whereabouts for about $23 a day, far less than the $154 it costs to lock someone in the Wayne County Jail.

Bothell, Wash.-based Tethers Unlimited says it will provide key communications and propulsion capabilities in support of a NASA mission that will study how the sun's corona whips up the solar wind.

The precise distribution of materials within a cell is essential for life, but the way the movements of cellular cargo are choreographed is largely unknown. Taking an unprecedented look at special ...

Tethers Unlimited Inc. says it’s won $2.2 million in contracts from NASA and Millennium Space Systems to provide its miniaturized, water-fueled Hydros thrusters for satellite missions.

The FAA’s boss, Michael Huerta, says the rules will “evolve” as drones, and the businesses around them, develop. As collision-avoidance technology improves and operators gain more experience ...

"If any one of these tethers beats this [Zylon] tether, we can pack up and go home, because we're starting to build a space elevator," Shelef said.

Scientists use molecular tethers, chemical 'light sabers' for tissue engineering Date: May 21, 2019 Source: University of Washington Summary: Researchers have unveiled a new strategy to keep ...

The new carbon nanotube tethers would perform better than the 2X strength tether and would be 3 times the strength of Spectra 2000. You can always choose the longest tether, which has the best ...

For the new demonstrations, the tethers are back. Progress on aircraft and robotics are rarely linear, and this further underscores the mishmash of iteration and experimentation at play. While ...
