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.
In 1676, Danish astronomer Ole Rømer used observations of Jupiter's moon Io to demonstrate that light travels at finite speed rather than instantaneously, a groundbreaking discovery made while solving practical navigation problems.
El megacohete Starship de SpaceX abortó automáticamente su lanzamiento de prueba cuando cuatro de sus 33 motores no se encendieron a un segundo del despegue. SpaceX reemplazará dos motores antes de reintentar el vuelo.
Researchers identified an immune pathway involving IL-1α that promotes progression of oral precancerous lesions to cancer, offering potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for early intervention.
Researchers at Athens University identified a new subterranean snail species, Cyllena hermes, in a Greek karst spring system. The eyeless, unpigmented snail shows evolutionary adaptations to underground darkness.
Researchers identify ZBP1 as a key immune sensor that converts genomic stress into antitumor immunity, potentially transforming immunotherapy-resistant tumors into responsive ones through necroptosis activation.
Researchers unveil PINN-DT technology with exergy-based loss functions for unprecedented accuracy in industrial thermal energy systems, enabling real-time optimization across power plants and manufacturing.
SpaceX canceló el lanzamiento de su megacohete Starship desde Texas cuando cuatro motores fallaron durante el encendido. El retraso presiona los planes de la NASA para alunizar en 2027.
SpaceX canceló el decimotercer vuelo de prueba del Starship tras detectar anomalías en el encendido de motores. Elon Musk confirmó que reemplazarán dos motores Raptor e intentarán nuevamente a principios de la próxima semana.
Tiny fossil jaws from Queensland reveal the earliest known dasyurid marsupial, pushing back the family's evolutionary origin to 23 million years ago and solving a decades-long mystery about their origins.
Australia must address historical misuse of Indigenous biological samples before implementing genomic newborn screening, requiring Indigenous-led governance, culturally safe services, and equitable access to prevent widening health inequalities.
SpaceX canceló el lanzamiento de su decimotercera misión del Starship cuando la cuenta regresiva llegó a cero en Texas. Elon Musk atribuyó el fallo a motores que no encendieron, postergando el intento para días posteriores.
Titan exists in perpetual twilight despite being at noon, receiving only 1% of Earth's sunlight due to distance and a self-renewing orange haze that blocks 90% of incoming light. NASA's Dragonfly mission must engineer for these extreme lighting conditions.
A naked-eye Venus and moon conjunction will be visible across the U.S. on Friday night shortly after sunset, with optimal viewing from western locations like Miami, Denver, and Los Angeles.
Astronomers detected helium escaping from LHS 1140b, a rocky exoplanet in the habitable zone of a nearby star, marking the first confirmed atmosphere on such a world and advancing the search for potentially habitable planets.
Un estudio del Hospital del Mar demuestra que personas que sufrieron trauma en la infancia tienen 1,5 veces más riesgo de desarrollar enfermedades físicas. El análisis de 250 estudios con 6 millones de personas revela la conexión entre experiencias adversas infantiles y patologías somáticas.
Chinese researchers found that human reproductive cells develop significantly slower in space due to microgravity and cosmic radiation, with germ cell success rates dropping by half.
Researchers used 30 years of Landsat satellite imagery to analyze penguin guano across Antarctica, revealing that climate change is forcing Adélie penguins toward less nutritious krill-based diets as sea ice disappears.
Sarah's 25-year marriage reveals how women often become default household money managers. Research shows over 80% of women handle daily finances, yet fewer feel confident in investment decisions.
JWST observations of NGC 4696 reveal how supermassive black holes sustain themselves through a self-regulating cycle where jets heat gas, which later cools into filaments that feed a rotating disk.
SpaceX falhou no 13º lançamento do Starship quando vários motores não ligaram, causando cancelamento automático. Elon Musk anunciou que dois motores Raptor serão substituídos e próxima tentativa ocorrerá no início da próxima semana.
Spain will experience its first total solar eclipse in over a century on August 12, 2026, with the path crossing from Galicia to the Mediterranean and Balearic Islands, offering observers up to 2 minutes of totality.
Satellite imagery captures extensive wildfire smoke spreading across North America, revealing the continental scale of air quality impacts from ongoing fires.
NC State research reveals that a widely-used visual stream health assessment method misses critical water quality issues like low oxygen, acidity, and pathogens that threaten aquatic ecosystems and public health.
International research team measured high-energy gamma-ray emissions from over a dozen unstable nuclei in a single fission experiment, advancing understanding of nuclear fission processes and pygmy resonances.
