NASA is set to launch four astronauts on Artemis II, a 10-day crewed mission around the moon marking humanity's farthest spaceflight in 54 years and a critical step toward lunar surface landing before China.
Europa harbors more water than Earth's oceans combined beneath its ice shell, sustained by Jupiter's gravitational heating. New research suggests the ice barrier may be tougher to penetrate than previously thought.
A Canadian-led study published in The Lancet shows minimally invasive bypass surgery is as safe as traditional open-chest procedures, with faster recovery times and fewer complications for patients with multiple blocked arteries.
Researchers have identified DNA from an extinct 'ghost lineage' of ancient human ancestors in modern human genomes, suggesting interbreeding with previously unknown populations in Africa.
Research indicates the Arctic Ocean maintains effective carbon sequestration in permafrost, preventing significant atmospheric release despite warming trends.
NASA is exploring repurposing a Mars rover for lunar exploration at an estimated cost exceeding $1 billion, raising questions about mission prioritization and budget allocation.
A climate scientist warns that Earth is reaching the limits of its capacity to adapt to climate change effects, signaling a critical threshold in environmental resilience.
La riqueza de Elon Musk se desplomó más de USD 600.000 millones en poco más de un mes, cayendo a USD 684.000 millones tras caídas en SpaceX (46%) y Tesla (36% desde diciembre).
Research suggests most adults consume too much protein, with excessive intake potentially accelerating aging. Studies indicate dietary protein restriction, particularly valine, could extend lifespan and improve health outcomes.
A Casio apresentou o CRW-H001M-8, um anel inteligente com funcionalidades de monitorização de saúde e bem-estar, lançado inicialmente na China por cerca de 255 euros.
August 2026 brings three major astronomical events: a total solar eclipse on Aug. 12 visible in Europe and Greenland, the Perseid meteor shower peaking that same night, and a partial lunar eclipse on Aug. 27-28.
NASA's Curiosity Rover has discovered massive honeycomb-like polygonal patterns on Mars, a geological formation that has surprised scientists. The discovery adds to our understanding of Mars' ancient geological history.
Um fragmento de foguete da SpaceX deve colidir com a Lua em agosto, criando uma nova cratera visível da Terra. O evento ilustra a crescente frequência de impactos de detritos espaciais na Lua.
Estágio superior de foguete Falcon 9 da SpaceX atingirá a Lua na terça-feira (4/7) a 8,7 mil km/h, oferecendo oportunidade rara para cientistas estudarem formação de crateras com parâmetros conhecidos com precisão.
Research shows monkeys form friendships with other species like dogs and deer, suggesting pet-keeping behavior has evolutionary roots beyond humans.
Boeing claims its Starliner spacecraft is ready for flight, though NASA continues assessing launch opportunities with cargo missions potentially slipping to Q4 as ISS docking slots narrow.
A NASA abriu inscrições para quatro voluntários que passarão um ano em isolamento extremo, vivendo em habitats que simulam uma nave espacial e uma base em Marte, para estudar como o corpo e mente humanos reagem a condições de confinamento prolongado.
NASA is sending two robotic probes to the moon to test complex three-body orbital mechanics, succeeding the CAPSTONE mission with advanced spacecraft technology demonstration.
NASA installed a memory card containing 1.35 million names from around the world aboard the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, set to launch as early as August 30 to explore the cosmos from one million miles away.
A Northshore teen is raising awareness about mold-related illness after her personal battle, as new CDC research suggests invasive mold infections are more common and severe than previously recognized.
Research suggests reducing protein consumption, particularly the amino acid valine, may extend lifespan and improve health outcomes in aging adults, with sex-specific benefits observed in studies.
The Yorkshire Dales has been named the UK's top stargazing destination for viewing the Perseid meteor shower, which peaks August 12-13 with over 100 meteors per hour visible in dark skies.
DNA analysis of Chilean mummies provides scientific evidence that smallpox was introduced to the Americas by European colonists, confirming historical accounts through ancient genetic material.
UC Davis researchers identified a gene enabling early prediction of avocado flower types years before blooming, potentially revolutionizing California's breeding programs and agricultural efficiency.
