NASA picks Rocket Lab for two missions probing solar energy and Earth’s ice clouds, boosting climate and solar research. NASA has tapped Rocket Lab to lift two compact scientific payloads that will deepen insight into solar energy flow and...

NASA launches a pioneering mission to rescue the Swift telescope and showcase next‑gen robotic satellite servicing. NASA has lifted off a pioneering project that could reshape how we maintain satellites while safeguarding one of the most productive...

four anomalous dusty objects that have drawn attention in recent years. G2 Remains on a Stable Track One of the best‑known sources, G2, was long thought to be a mere cloud of gas and dust destined for spaghettification as it approached Sagittarius A*....

NASA’s pioneering space-food experiment aims to revolutionize long‑term astronaut nutrition, boosting survival on multi‑year missions. Space crews face a nutritional gap because many vitamins and essential compounds degrade over the years‑long journeys...

Juno’s first underground temperature readings of Io expose hidden heat sources fueling Jupiter’s most volcanic moon. During two close flybys in late 2023 and early 2024, NASA’s Juno spacecraft skimmed Io at a distance of roughly 1,500 km (930 mi) and...

Subsequent compositional analyses confirmed that the bronze’s copper originated from Alpine mines, while the gold trace was sourced from Cornwall, England. To explore production techniques, Meller’s group collaborated with coppersmith Herbert Bauer to...

surface and crater‑interior exploration in a single flight, the mission seeks to produce a more complete inventory of resources and hazards at the pole than any prior robotic effort has achieved. Global Partnerships and the Path to Human Exploration The...

Scientists have long known the size, speed and impact location of the dinosaur‑killing asteroid, but its exact composition remained a mystery. New isotopic analysis has revealed that the mass that created the Chicxulub crater belonged to an uncommon...

on desalination plants and dwindling rain‑fed reserves. In the 1950s, oil exploration in Libya turned up another valuable resource water. Huge aquifers, underground deposits of sand and rock that also contain water, lurked underneath the scorching...

A deep-ice camera in Antarctica captured an unexpected sight, revealing how little we know about the hidden world beneath the frozen continent. In 2009 a research team descending through Antarctica’s Ross Ice Shelf made a startling find: a shrimp‑like...

solution to synthetic food dyes Scientists at the University of Missouri’s College of Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources are investigating a South‑American variety of purple corn that could replace petroleum‑derived colorants in processed foods....

based on Betelgeuse’s behavior. SPHERE, originally designed for exoplanet imaging, proved capable of isolating faint sources adjacent to an extremely bright primary. Earlier hints of a secondary object emerged from observations with the Gemini North...

New seismic imaging reveals the Cascadia subduction zone is breaking apart deep beneath the seafloor, offering a rare look at a major tectonic transition. Geologists have successfully mapped a tectonic plate in the process of fracturing deep beneath...

MIT researchers have developed a magnetic device that generates linked microwave signals at room temperature, potentially transforming secure communication. Researchers at MIT have engineered a compact electronic platform capable of generating highly...

and sacred architecture, the Kainua well provides a profound new perspective on how ancient societies sanctified the very resources required for their survival.

the early modern era. By connecting the financial interests of European banking dynasties with the extraction of African resources and the massive demand in Asian markets, the wreck serves as a physical testament to an interconnected world that existed...

A teenage explorer discovered an extraordinary site hidden 140 feet underground after navigating 40 feet of crushing darkness. In the foothills of Tennessee’s Smoky Mountains, roughly 140 feet below the surface, lies a vast aquatic expanse known as the...

Nora, a massive 1,350-ton tunnel boring machine, has finished excavating a critical route to repair New York City’s leaking Delaware Aqueduct. Future Infrastructure Repairs Pushed Back for Critical New York Water Link New York City’s long-term plan to...

A single-celled aquatic organism can shrink to a quarter of its size in five milliseconds, revealing remarkable biological force-generation mechanisms. A single-celled organism, Spirostomum ambiguum, is challenging our understanding of biological...
