[An #ENA imager headed for #Uranus?] ENAs are energetic neutral atoms produced during #collisions in hot #plasmas. They are omnipresent in space environments.

The interplanetary probes #Cassini and #JUICE carry (or carried) an ENA imager. Various #simulations reveal that such a detector aboard the #Voyager2 probe would have provided a better understanding of Uranus’s magnetospheric environment: https://www.irap.omp.eu/en/2026/05/back-to-the-future-viewing-uranus-through-an-ena-camera/

[Un imageur #ENA à destination d'#Uranus ?] Les ENA sont des atomes neutres énergétiques produits lors de #collisions dans les #plasmas chauds. Ils sont omniprésents dans les environnements spatiaux.

Les sondes interplanétaires #Cassini, #JUICE, embarqu(ai)ent un imageur ENA. Un tel détecteur à bord de la sonde #Voyager2 aurait permis de mieux comprendre le système magnétosphérique d’Uranus, révèlent diverses #simulations : https://www.irap.omp.eu/2026/05/retour-vers-le-futur-observer-uranus-a-travers-une-camera-ena/

#ThamesValleyPolice and #Hampshire #Constabulary in Southern #England test a new #breathalyser (developed following research in the #Netherlands ) which checks #drivers for use of #nitrousoxide (laughing #gas) - a form of #DUI that has led to serious #collisions across #Europe

(it almost seems like drivers are taking this stuff out of spite, as use of other substances is now tested for and detectable so folk have stopped doing them as much when regularly driving)

This is apparently the first device of this kind in the World!
