Astronomers identify the coldest star yet that emits radio waves

Astronomers at the University of Sydney have shown that a small, faint star is the coldest on record to produce emission at radio wavelength.

The ‘ultracool brown dwarf’ examined in the study is a ball of gas simmering at about 425 degrees centigrade—cooler than a typical campfire—without burning .

By contrast, the surface temperature of the sun, a nuclear inferno, is about 5,600 degrees.

Quantum drive that draws ‘limitless power’ from Sun will fly to orbit this year

IVO Ltd. believes its new ‘Quantum Drive’ defies the laws of motion, and it aims to put it to the test by sending it to orbit on a SpaceX rocket.

US company IVO Ltd., a wireless power technology firm, is set to send an all-electric propulsion system for satellites to space for the first time in October.

The IVO Quantum Drive system was due to launch atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket as part of the rideshare mission Transporter 8 in June. However, delays in developing the company’s prototype led IVO to opt for sending their technology to space aboard SpaceX’s Transporter 9 later this year.
