Scientists May Have Figured Out Why So Many Spacecraft Were Failing
In the last 20 years it's been surprisingly common for space probes to end missions early because reaction wheels have failed, moreover there's been a large number of failures associated with a specific supplier - Ithaco. A NASA spin off which developed low cost reaction wheel systems that helped bring the cost down for many space missions.
A new study offers some clues as to what might have been going on and why solar weather might be able to damage mechanical systems.

QUANT

I've had a lot of requests to cover the recent announcement that a Chinese research team has successfully delivered entangle photon pairs to locations separated 1000km. The press and speculation has been a little misleading so here's my explanation of how this works and what it means.
