This major cultural complex, designed by Tadao Ando, is taking shape in Tashkent, with intricate building work led by an international team and plans for art and learning spaces.
Scientists have identified a little-known receptor, GPR133, as a powerful regulator of bone strength. By activating it with a newly discovered compound called AP503, they were able to boost bone density in mice and counteract osteoporosis-like...
NASA’s Artemis II crew are expected to reach their destination on Monday where the four astronauts aboard the Orion will – for the first time – look at the lunar far side with the naked eye. The fly-by will last approximately six hours before the...
The Orion spacecraft is in its final phase and has entered the moon's gravitational sphere. The astronauts are expected to soon break the record for traveling the farthest distance from Earth.
The Orion spacecraft is in its final phase, with NASA saying astronauts have broken Apollo 13's record for traveling the farthest distance from Earth.
At its closest point, the crew of Artemis II will loop about 4,000 miles from the lunar surface late Monday. The astronauts will also venture farther into space than any previous human mission.
AI is consuming staggering amounts of energy—already over 10% of U.S. electricity—and the demand is only accelerating. Now, researchers have unveiled a radically more efficient approach that could slash AI energy use by up to 100× while actually...
On the latest episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, we debated Elon Musk's vision for data centers in space.
The story behind the beautiful pictures beamed back to Earth from the Artemis II astronauts.
The war in the Middle East showed no sign of ending as President Donald Trump exchanged threats with the Iranian regime and jittery markets sent oil prices surging. The week also saw NASA launch its first crewed lunar mission in half-a-century...
Scientists have uncovered a powerful new clue in the mystery of brain aging: a single protein called FTL1. In aging mice, higher levels of this protein weakened connections between brain cells and led to memory decline. But when researchers reduced...
Researchers have created a nanoscale structure that traps infrared light in a layer just 40 nanometers thick—over 1,000 times thinner than a human hair. By using a unique material with exceptional light-bending properties, they can confine and...
The Artemis II crew is preparing for a historic lunar flyby that will take them farther from Earth than any previous human, documenting never-before-seen views of the Moon's far side.
Mars may look like a quiet, dusty world, but it’s actually buzzing with hidden electrical activity. Powerful dust storms and swirling dust devils generate static electricity strong enough to spark faint glowing discharges across the planet...
Despite the technological advancements since the Apollo mission, the astronauts aboard the Orion spacecraft will use the most basic instrument to study the the surface of the Moon – their eyes. During the lunar flyby, which will last for several...
When a 9,000 year-old grave of a shaman was discovered in Nazi Germany, the discovery was quickly politicized to support Nazi propaganda. But new analysis shows that initial narrative was all wrong.
Many people think that occasional binge drinking is harmless if they otherwise drink in moderation, but new research suggests that assumption may be dangerously wrong. A large U.S. study found that people with metabolic dysfunction–associated...
NPR's Scott Simon reflects on the successful launch of NASA's Artemis II this week. The four astronauts aboard will travel around the moon.
Astrocytes, once thought to be mere brain “support cells,” are now revealed to be key players in fear memory. Researchers found they actively help form, recall, and weaken fear responses by interacting with neurons in real time. Changing astrocyte...
