Earth's dust cloud satellites confirmed

Astronomers and physicists may have confirmed two elusive clouds of dust, in semi-stable points just 400,000 kilometers from Earth. The clouds, first reported by and named for Polish astronomer Kazimierz Kordylewski in 1961, are exceptionally faint, so their existence is controversial. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/10/181026102622.htm

Low cost, energy-saving radiative cooling system ready for real-world applications

Engineers have successfully scaled up an innovative water-cooling system capable of providing continuous day-and-night radiative cooling for structures. The advance could increase the efficiency of power generation plants in summer and lead to more efficient, environmentally-friendly temperature control for homes, businesses, utilities and industries. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/10/181026114627.htm

Study breaks Förster resonant energy transfer (FRET) distance limit

Using engineered nanocomposite structures called metamaterials, a research team reports the ability to measure a significant increase in the energy transfer between molecules. This breakthrough breaks the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) distance limit of ~10-20 nanometers, and leads to the possibility of measuring larger molecular assemblies. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/10/181025135905.htm

The ghost of Cassiopeia

About 550 light-years away in the constellation of Cassiopeia lies IC 63, a stunning and slightly eerie nebula. Also known as the ghost of Cassiopeia, IC 63 is being shaped by radiation from a nearby unpredictably variable star, Gamma Cassiopeiae, which is slowly eroding away the ghostly cloud of dust and gas. This celestial ghost makes the perfect backdrop for the upcoming feast of All Hallow's Eve -- better known as Halloween. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/10/181025113153.htm

How the brain decides what to learn

Neuroscientists know a lot about how our brains learn new things, but not much about how they choose what to focus on while they learn. Now, researchers have traced that ability to an unexpected place. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/10/181025142023.htm
