The Nasa probe that struck an asteroid in September to try to deflect its path had a bigger effect because of all the debris it kicked out. The Dart mission slammed into egg-shaped Dimorphos to ...

A pioneering method has emerged for manipulating laser beams using sound waves alone. These days, powerful laser beams are essential in scientific research, from particle accelerators to nuclear ...

Asteroid impacts with global consequences are vastly rarer, especially compared to the frequency with which they appear in ...

When used in structural engineering, the term deflection refers to load-induced displacement, which typically affects beam designs. It can be an extremely complicated value to calculate when ...
