Coating may mean sleeker planes
Malibu, Calif. (UPI) Oct 6, 2008 A U.S. defense contractor is developing a new type of surface coating that one day could mean sleeker aircraft, a researcher for the company says. Eventually, the technology, called holographic impedance surfaces, potentially could allow aircraft designers to place antennae flush to the fuselage, Stars and Stripes reported Monday. Along with streamlining planes, the placement would have ... more Clyde Space Delivers Battery Charge Controllers For RASAT

It is so exotic, that scientists are unsure as to whether this oddity is actually a planet or a failed star. The object, named COROT-exo-3b, is about the size of Jupiter, but packs more than 20 times the mass. It takes only 4 days and 6 hours to orbit its parent star ... more Boulder-Sized Asteroid Will Burn Up In Earth's Atmosphere Tonight
