Flux Pinning in The Future

Many studies have shown that flux pinning is capable of assembling items and also being able to dock different things together. Flux pinning and its ability to be applied to joints of telescopes could offer up an alternative to building telescopes and satellites and could save money. Throughout the efforts of 21 teams selected to participate in NASA’s FAST program (Facilitated Access to the Space Environment for Technology Development and Training) and with their successful experiments this future seems not too far away.

Famous quotes containing the words flux and/or future:

    Beauty is our weapon against nature; by it we make objects, giving them limit, symmetry, proportion. Beauty halts and freezes the melting flux of nature.
    Camille Paglia (b. 1947)

    I want the necessity of supplying my own wants. All this costly culture of yours is not necessary. Greatness does not need it. Yonder peasant, who sits neglected, carries a whole revolution of man and nature in his head, which shall be a sacred history to some future ages.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
