Researchers have demonstrated that amino acids within Enceladus' ice plumes can endure impact speeds up to 4.2 km/s, bolstering their detection in spacecraft sampling and supporting Enceladus as a key target in the search for extraterrestrial life.
Taoglas, a trusted provider of antennas and IoT components that help solve complex engineering problems, proudly announces its pivotal role in the launch of ...
Enceladus is a prime target in the search for life in the Solar System, identified by NASA as the second-highest priority site for a flagship mission in the next decade.
After more than 35 years of surveillance, Michigan State University researchers are exposing some of the secret workings of mobs. To be clear, these mobs are made up of spotted hyenas.
Using lasers rather than scalpels and saws has many benefits in surgery. Yet they are only used in isolated cases. But that could be about to change: laser systems are getting smarter and better all the time, as a research team from the University of Basel de…
Planet Earth is full of some truly awe-inspiring spectacles, but few are as intriguing as sprites, which are officially known as a transient luminous event (TLE) and consist of large-scale electric discharges that shoot upward while occurring above the cloud …
What is the farthest object you can see with the unaided eye? Do galaxies have Lagrange points like stars or planets? What does NASA think about Starship's l...
Through analysis of high-resolution data from a 10-meter telescope in Hawaii, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have succeeded in generating new knowledge about three stars at the very heart of the Milky Way. The stars proved to be unusually young with…
Motivated by the deliberate and measured pace of a diminutive snail, scientists have created a prototype robot with the potential to adeptly collect microplastics from the surfaces of oceans, seas, and lakes in the future.
Researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have employed generative machine learning models to investigate the various ways in which mismatches can occur between atoms in adjacent crystals of piezoelectric materials—materials that, when subject…
NASA is celebrating the 25th anniversary of International Space Station operations during a live conversation with crew aboard the microgravity laboratory for
Researchers in Germany found that bottlenose dolphins can detect electric fields underwater — a skill that could help them better hunt down prey deep within the ocean’s depths.
Hundreds of thousands of people worldwide are killed annually by malaria and other diseases spread through the bite of mosquitoes, insects that date back to the age of dinosaurs. All of these bites are inflicted by females, which possess specialized mouth ana…
Researchers from the University of Michigan have devised a strategy that might finally allow satellite and spacecraft operators to identify minuscule particles of junk circling Earth.
Researchers report December 5 in the journal Neuron that mice display behavior that resembles self-recognition when they see themselves in the mirror. When the researchers marked the foreheads of black-furred mice with a spot of white ink, the mice spent more…
A century ago, the Stern-Gerlach experiment established the truth of quantum mechanics. Now it’s being used to probe the clash of quantum theory and gravity.
