The U.S. private spacecraft Odysseus, which was sent to the moon on February 15, has been declared permanently quiet after failing to send a signal from the south pole of the moon. But the number of missions to the moon is growing quickly. By the end of 2026, at least 22 international missions will have […]

On Saturday, March 2nd, 2024, astronauts within the Tiangong space station successfully completed their first spacewalk, which was specifically for the purpose of performing maintenance tasks. This accomplishment is considered to be a monumental achievement for the Chinese space program. A significant milestone in China’s evolving space exploration capabilities, this eight-hour mission highlights the critical
The International Space Station (ISS), a great example of how countries can work together, is currently orbiting the Earth at 250 miles per hour. It has run into a small problem: an air leak from the Russian segment. When the leak was first found in February 2024, it caused some concern. However, both Russia’s Roscosmos

Biomedical research is changing a lot because of new spectroscopy techniques, organ-on-chip technology, and automated atomic force microscopy. These scientific achievements, such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s organ-on-chip technology, Canada’s launch of the world’s first automated atomic force microscope, and Australia’s creation of a new spectroscopy technique, are not only important steps
Advanced neural interfacing technologies: muscle fatigue and neural activity insights Muscle fatigue and neural activity have been linked in recent research, which has provided insights for the development of more advanced neural interfacing technologies. In the study that was published on February 11, 2024, the researchers focused on persistent inward calcium and sodium currents (PICs),

Radioisotopic Power Sources’ Future: Redefining Energy Storage Direct Kinetic Solutions (DKS) is using radioisotopic power sources (RPS) for the first time to revolutionize energy storage. RPS collects the energy given off by radioactive decay and turns it into a steady flow of electricity with a very high energy density, no breaks in the flow, and
