Scientists have observed a phenomenon resembling ‘self-healing metal,’ reminiscent of the T-1000 android from the movie Terminator 2: Judgment Day.

During the experiments conducted at Sandia National Laboratories in New Mexico, scientists employed a method of pulling on small metal pieces approximately 200 times per second.

Initially, a crack developed and expanded, but after around 40 minutes, the metal eventually reconnected and fused back together. Researchers found that cracks in metal can mend themselves under certain conditions, a process called ‘cold welding.’

While currently limited to tiny metal pieces at the nanoscale, this discovery has potential applications in engineering. The self-healing process could lead to the development of materials designed to prevent fatigue failure in machines, enhancing their durability and longevity.

Hari ini 29 tahun yang lalu, Planetarium Negara dirasmikan.

Planetarium Negara adalah sebuah institusi pendidikan tak formal dalam bidang astronomi & sains angkasa yang terletak di dalam kawasan Taman Botani Perdana, KL. Ia bermula sebagai Bahagian Planetarium dalam Jabatan Perdana Menteri pada 1989.

Pembinaan kompleks ini dimulakan pada 1990 & siap selepas 3 tahun. Ia mula dibuka untuk kunjungan umum pada Mei 1993 sebelum dirasmikan pada 7 Februari 1994 oleh Perdana Menteri ketika itu, Datuk Seri (Tun) Dr. Mahathir Mohamad.

Ia dibina dengan reka bentuk berinspirasikan seni bina islam yang menampilkan ciri-ciri ‘muqarnas’, komposisi geometri yang mampu memantul & menyerakkan cahaya serta berfungsi sebagai elemen penyerapan & refleksi bunyi yang berkesan.

Kompleks ini menempatkan sebuah teater dengan skrin berbentuk kubah berwarna biru berdiameter 20 meter yang dilengkapi projektor bintang untuk menayangkan filem simulasi angkasa berformat besar. Ia mampu memuatkan 200 orang.

Galeri utamanya menempatkan pameran antaranya enjin Arianne IV, salah satu enjin kapal angkasa buatan Perancis yang digunakan untuk pelancaran satelit pertama negara, MEASAT-1. Ia juga mempunyai menara tinjau dilengkapi teleskop 360mm.

Kompleks ini juga menganjur ke sebuah taman tema angkasa yang menempatkan replika balai cerap silam, juga terdapat replika Stonehenge mini di luar planetarium ini (Stonehenge dipercayai sebuah kalendar astronomi gergasi purba di England).

Pada Julai 1995, Planetarium Negara dipindahkan ke bawah Kementerian Sains, Teknologi & Alam Sekitar (kini Kementerian Sains, Teknologi & Inovasi). Ia dibuka setiap hari dari 9 pagi hingga 4.30 petang (kecuali Isnin & cuti umum).

Bagaimanapun, sejak 18 Julai 2022, Planetarium Negara ditutup buat sementera waktu hingga satu tarikh yang akan diumumkan kelak.

NEWS | A group of scientists has developed a method for indirectly “seeing” objects using quantum physics.

The new technology might help quantum computers and other devices improve their measurements by bringing together the quantum and classical worlds.

We “see” objects through the complicated interplay of light photons within specialised cells in our eyes’ retina.

However, experts believe that a comparable phenomena might be duplicated without the need of photo absorption or light.

This will allow us to study things indirectly without “contaminating” them with light photons or influencing a system while attempting to study it.

Imagine using light to study a strip of a photosensitive film without “damaging” it. The researchers used transmon devices, relatively large superconducting circuits that exhibit quantum behavior, to track microwave pulses produced by conventional instrumentation.
