Monitor the Mars 2020 Perseverance mission with this NASA visualization tool
Eyes on the Solar System lets the user gauge the distance between Mars and the spacecraft at any time.
Improving power grid resiliency with artificial intelligence
A new artificial neural network model handles both static and dynamic features of a power system with a relatively high degree of accuracy.
How do centrifugal pumps work?
Centrifugal pumps are dynamic pumps that move fluids through a system using one or more impellers. Compared to positive displacement pumps, they provide higher flow rates and lower pressures.
