Sophia Space and Caltech develop compact all‑in‑one tiles that integrate solar cells, radiators and chips to cool orbital data centers efficiently. Sophia Space and Caltech want to fold the bulky parts of a space-based data center—solar cells and...

Thin bright streaks on Mercury’s steep slopes may be signs of ongoing material loss beneath the surface. A global study suggests the planet is still quietly evolving today. Mercury sits closest to the Sun, small and battered, with a surface shaped by...

Mars soil is chemically hostile to life, yet a laboratory study shows some bacteria can survive its toxicity and still bind soil together, though only weakly and under strain. Mars looks dry, quiet, and empty. Its surface stretches out in wide plains...

Scientists gear up for the August 12 total solar eclipse, a rare chance to capture data unattainable by spacecraft probing the Sun’s outer atmosphere. A total solar eclipse on 12 August will sweep across eastern Greenland, western Iceland and northern...

AI guides archaeologists to a hidden Nazca desert trove of ancient figures, revealing a far larger discovery than anticipated. Finding the tiniest Nazca geoglyphs has long challenged archaeologists, as these relief figures, typically around 9 meters...
