the College of Medicine’s aging and space‑medicine program. “What we found was that just 24 hours after radiation exposure, there are many genetic changes in the liver that are remarkably similar to what happens during aging. We can assume that if...

Water Initiative Yaghi linked his scientific ambition to memories of irregular water deliveries in his native Jordan, where municipal supplies arrived only once or twice a week. He explained at his Nobel banquet that his early fascination with how...

during a season that usually stays well below, ice can become thinner and snowpacks less dependable. Coastal communities, where winter conditions directly influence transport, fishing operations, and tourism, feel these impacts most acutely....

integration and test lead at APL, said, “It was pretty awesome to see the lander, as we designed it, become real. From here, it’s about populating that structure with electronics boxes, instruments, wiring, insulation — everything that will enable its...

tritium betavoltaic technology as a candidate for powering centimeter‑scale sensors in permanently shadowed lunar regions, where extreme cold and lack of sunlight render conventional batteries ineffective. Cabauy highlighted the distinct handling...
