  • Could Permanent Magnets Protect Astronauts from Solar Storms?
    Shielding astronauts from the killer radiation they face is a central challenge facing any designer of a deep-space crewed mission. Even relatively low levels of exposure for long periods of time can lead to everything from central nervous system damage to cancer. But current solutions, such as passive water shells... Read more »
  • NASA Is Calling on Industry to Build Its Lunar Infrastructure
    NASA is serious about going back to the Moon. Ongoing missions like the recently completed Artemis II trip around the Moon are just one such sign. But perhaps more importantly, NASA is recognizing how much additional work will have to go into funding technology development if we hope to stay... Read more »
  • A "Smart Ruler" Could Help Swarms of Space Telescopes Image Exoplanets
    We’ve talked plenty of times here about the infeasibility of launching a mirror big enough to directly image exoplanets using current rocket fairings - at least as long as we’re not sending them 500+ AU away to a gravitational lensing point. We’ve also talked at length about the potential solution... Read more »
  • Does Space Speed Up Ageing? A New Study Says Yes!
    Scientists at UCF have found that the harsh conditions of spaceflight, radiation and weightlessness combined, can trigger changes in the liver that closely resemble accelerated ageing, and remarkably, the same genetic fingerprints show up in real astronaut blood samples. The discovery could shape how we protect future Mars explorers, and... Read more »
  • Scientists Heard the Fireball No Camera Could See
    When a fireball streaked across the Alaska sky in broad daylight, the cameras meant to capture it saw nothing useful. Undeterred, scientists turned to sound waves too low for human ears and faint tremors picked up by earthquake sensors, piecing together an extraordinary account of the object's final seconds. What...

  • Could Astronauts Grow Rice on the Moon?
    Scientists in Japan have built a low power device that pulls nitrogen straight from the air and turns it into fertiliser, then used it to successfully grow rice in simulated lunar soil. Along the way, they stumbled on an unexpected bonus that could make crops both healthier and better suited... Read more »
  • 7,000 Galaxy Clusters, Hiding in Plain Sight
    A five year survey by the South Pole Telescope has produced a catalogue of more than seven thousand galaxy clusters, some dating back nearly eight billion years, giving astronomers their most detailed map yet of the universe's largest structures. Hidden inside the data is something even the researchers did not... Read more »

  • Flight Instructor Jumps To His Death Midair, Leaving Student to Land Plane
    Image Courtesy: A routine flight lesson in Argentina ended in tragedy after a flight instructor reportedly jumped from a moving aircraft, leaving his student alone at the controls. Despite the shocking circumstances, the student successfully landed the plane without suffering any injuries. The incident occurred Saturday near Toledo in central... Read more »
  • Physicists Just Set New World Record For Superconductors Operating at Normal Pressure
    Image Courtesy: US Department of Energy Scientists have achieved a major breakthrough in superconductivity by creating a material that functions at the highest temperature ever recorded under normal atmospheric pressure. The advance brings researchers one step closer to developing practical superconductors that could transform energy transmission, transportation, and next-generation electronics.... Read more »
  • Scientists Studied People Who Live to 100, One Surprising Personality Trait Kept Appearing
    Image Courtesy: iStock Diet, exercise, and strong social connections are often credited for helping people live longer, but new research suggests personality may play an equally important role. Scientists studying one of the world’s famous “Blue Zones” found that people who reach exceptional ages tend to share a key psychological... Read more »
  • Experts Say Mysterious Metallic Orbs Appear to Have Fallen From the Sky
    Image Courtesy: Queensland Fire Department  Six mysterious metallic spheres discovered on a remote Australian beach are believed to be pieces of space debris, prompting an investigation by authorities and raising fresh concerns about the growing amount of hardware falling back to Earth as global rocket launches continue to increase. The... Read more »
  • Renault 4 E-Tech Completes 1,000-Mile UK Journey Powered Only by Solar Energy
    Image Courtesy: WhichEV The Renault 4 E-Tech electric has completed a 1,000-mile journey across the United Kingdom using only solar-generated electricity, demonstrating how existing renewable energy infrastructure can support long-distance electric vehicle travel without relying on power from the national grid. The “Easee Sun Run” took the Renault 4 E-Tech... Read more »
  • Voyager 1 Is Now So Far Away That Its Signals Take More Than 22 Hours to Reach Earth
    Image Courtesy: Paul Seling/Pexels. Nearly 49 years after its launch, NASA’s Voyager 1 continues to send scientific data from interstellar space, despite being so far from Earth that even a radio signal traveling at the speed of light now takes more than 22 hours to reach the spacecraft. Voyager 1,... Read more »
  • Astronauts Captured America’s 250th Birthday Fireworks From Space
    Image Courtesy: NASA Americans celebrating the nation’s 250th Independence Day weren’t the only ones with a front-row seat to the festivities. Astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) watched fireworks illuminate Southern California from orbit, capturing a striking view of Los Angeles glowing beneath them. NASA shared a 15-second video... Read more »
