NASA says a long-running air leak aboard the ISS recently worsened, leading engineers to investigate new suspected crack locations and consider a riskier repair strategy. Astronauts were temporarily moved into a safe haven as a precaution before the...
Researchers have identified a new Alzheimer’s target and created an experimental compound that blocks a damaging process inside brain cells. In mice, the treatment slowed nerve cell loss, reduced Alzheimer’s-related changes, and even appeared to...
"It is actually challenging how you measure [Mach] from space."
The world’s nuclear-armed states are increasingly moving warheads from storage onto operational delivery systems, raising the risk of conflict despite a gradual decline in overall stockpiles, researchers warned on Monday. SIPRI said geopolitical...
We've seen Axiom Space and Prada's collaboration on the Axiom Extravehicular Mobility Unit (AxEMU) spacesuit. Now the company has revealed the Liquid Cooling and Ventilation Garment (LCVG) that astronauts will wear underneath it when Artemis IV...
If you have an outdoor space that needs some extra lighting, either for fun or security reasons (or a mix of the two), the Govee outdoor lamp post light is a good pick that’s 23 percent off its regular price right now. Typically retailing for $260...
Google has signed a $30 billion deal to lease computing power from SpaceX, paying $920 million per month through June 2029. The move came after SpaceX acquired xAI in February 2026, gaining massive data centres. The deal precedes SpaceX’s highly...
A lightweight new X-ray telescope could finally give scientists something they’ve never had before: a complete chemical map of the Moon. Researchers used detailed mission simulations to show that a compact telescope orbiting the Moon could identify...
The Forest Service is trying to shut down research hubs because it says it needs to live within its means. But the agency plans to close facilities that cost less than $1 to rent while keeping open one that costs $1 million.
"We look forward to working with Roscosmos on a collaborative approach to address the leaks."
SpaceX won’t get easy access to billions of dollars from passive investors.
Ukraine recaptured more territory than it lost to Russian forces in May for the second straight month, an analysis of data from the Institute for the Study of War carried out by the AFP news agency showed earlier this month.
NASA ordered astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) to shelter in their spacecraft and prepare for a possible evacuation on Friday after an air leak in the Russian module of the orbiting laboratory worsened, raising fresh concerns...
NASA expects to begin stacking the SLS rocket this summer for next year's Artemis III launch.
Scientists have proposed a new method for finding tightly bound supermassive black hole pairs by searching for stars that flash repeatedly as their light is magnified by the black holes’ gravity. The timing and brightness of these bursts could...
Hidden beneath Arctic waters, beluga whales have long kept their family lives a mystery. By analyzing DNA from more than 600 belugas in Alaska’s Bristol Bay over 13 years, researchers uncovered a surprisingly flexible mating system: both males and...
Some quantum computing companies we've covered have done recent progress updates.
Microsoft claimed last year that it had made a key breakthrough in quantum computing with Majorana 1, the company's first quantum processor. While physicists were immediately skeptical of Microsoft's claims, the software giant is announcing Majorana...
French astronaut Thomas Pesquet is set to return to space with fellow spaceman Arnaud Prost in 2027. It comes as part of an agreement between the French government and American space company Vast announced at Choose France Summit.
A major study suggests that some of the groundwork for brain development may be shaped before birth through a surprising partnership between a baby’s genes and gut microbes. Researchers found that epigenetic changes present at birth can influence...
