Reports of GNSS interference in the Baltic Sea have become almost routine — airplanes losing GPS, ships drifting off course, and timing systems failing. But what happens when a group of engineers decides to build a navigation system that simply *doesn’t care* about the jammer? Since 2017, we’ve bee
How does GPS know where to go? What has satellite navigation to do with it? Maths is all around us. It’s almost impossible to think of something that’s made without the help of mathematics. In this video we explain how does GPS satellite navigation works. Authors: Roman Ilyushenko, Nicolai Nobis
Explore the world of honeybees—how they communicate information about food sources with their hivemates, and how, once in flight, they find their way to the flowers that provide nectar and pollen—in this video from NOVA: The Mystery of Animal Pathfinders. CREDITS: https://www.pbslearningmedia.org/c
Christopher Columbus was an Italian explorer, navigator, and colonist who completed four voyages across the Atlantic Ocean under the auspices of the Catholic Monarchs of Spain. This simpleshow explains the basic facts about his expedition and how he influenced the history as well as our culture tod
Dynamic bubbles of ionization in Earth's upper atmosphere can cause GPS signals to "twinkle" like stars, affecting the quality of navigation on Earth below. NASA recently conducted a mission called CINDI to investigate this phenomenon. Visit http://science.nasa.gov/ for more. Click here to see mor
NASA's MMS spacecraft are flying around Earth in a precise formation made possible by an out-of-this-world system of GPS navigators. Visit http://science.nasa.gov/ for more. Click here to see more videos: https://alugha.com/NASA
What are advanced materials, and are they safe? In this series of seven videos, Risk Bites takes you through the emergence of increasingly advanced materials over the 20th century and the incredible opportunities that these materials and the associated science and technology open up. We'll also be
Have you ever wished that you had all the answers in life and could use that knowledge to navigate you through life’s ups and downs? What are the life lessons we learn too late? Becoming aware of them now can help you move through this part of your life a little bit more easily. Writer: Joshua Muno
While the Moon is Earth's only natural satellite, there are thousands of artificial satellites circling our planet for navigation, communications, entertainment, and science. These satellites are an integral part of our everyday life, and they provide a source for scientific data unavailable from Ea
The Sun produces a solar wind — a continuous flow of charged particles — that can affect us on Earth. It can, for example, disrupt communications, navigation systems, and satellites. Solar activity can also cause power outages, such as the extensive Canadian blackout in 1989. In this video segment a
Often times, Self-care and social life are put on the back burner while we try to navigate the storm of emotions that swarm our minds. Have you been following some of the mental health tips in your life despite your hectic schedule? Here are some signs that your mental health is improving. See if th
When we talk about mentally strong people, we mean someone who knows how to draw healthy boundaries with others, who know how to stay true to their inner values, and who know how to navigate difficult situations in life like past regrets, etc. When you become mentally stronger, you can have a more f
