  1. Test flight using Quantum Sensor based navigation = success!

    "MagNav" employs quantum sensors to detect variations in Earth’s natural magnetic field and create a "map" that aircraft can use to determine their position without depending on satellite or GPS signals.

    The test = an Embraer 170 flew for 4 hours and 23 minutes over the Pacific Ocean, from Seattle to southern Alaska and back. The system improved position accuracy by 89% compared with conventional backup navigation systems. interestingengineering.com/mil

  10. US-Militär testet Quantensensoren für Flugnavigation ohne GPS über Pazifik

    Die DIU hat das MagNav-System von Honeywell Aerospace bei einem Testflug über dem Pazifik erprobt. Das Navigationssystem kommt gänzlich ohne GPS aus.

  16. The Russian navigation app 2GIS shows an ad for a place... in a completely different location. You’d think this “8 Марта” place is right here, but it’s actually on the opposite side of the city. What you see is just a banner ad.

    Thanks @khambogrus for the picture

  21. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🧠🐝 A University of #Colorado #Boulder team studied how #turbulence transforms odor signals as they travel.

    Using #wind tunnels, #lasers, and real-world plume measurements, they identified three ways airflow filters, spreads, and generates odor frequencies. They argue these systematic changes encode distance and direction information #animals use for olfactory #navigation.

  22. Sur le site de la revue "L'Histoire", un article de 2019 republié en accès libre :
    "Pour le grand helléniste Victor Bérard, le voyage de retour à Ithaque s'inscrivait dans une géographie bien réelle. Une interprétation aujourd'hui abandonnée. Ce qui n'empêche pas les admirateurs d'Ulysse de continuer à s'embarquer pour reconstituer son périple."
