Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) is examining how liquids boil under partial gravity in a series of parabolic flights. This internally funded project, conducted with Texas A and M University, aims to understand boiling on different surfaces in partial gravity, which is crucial for future space missions to the Moon or Mars.
"We have so little data about how boiling works in reduced gravi

SpaceX launched 23 Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Sunday night, bringing the total number of Starlink satellites in orbit to just over 6,000.
This was the 15th mission for the reusable booster rocket, which launches the spacecraft into orbit, largely under the power of a million pounds of rocket-grade kerosene. Nine of its launche

The spectacular auroras that danced across the sky in many parts of the world over the weekend are fading, scientists said Monday, as the massive sunspot that caused them turns its ferocious gaze away from Earth.
Since Friday, the most powerful solar storm to strike our planet in more than two decades has lit up night skies with dazzling auroras in the United States, Tasmania, the Bahamas an

Electrons can exhibit different behaviors based on their energy levels. High-energy or low-energy electron interactions with solid materials trigger various effects. For instance, low-energy electrons can cause cancer but can also be used to treat tumors. They are also critical in microelectronics for producing tiny structures.
Measuring slow electrons is challenging, and understanding the

A new nucleosynthesis process, called the r-Process, has been proposed by scientists from GSI, and the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics. This r-Process occurs when neutron-rich material is exposed to a high flux of neutrinos. The theoretical proposal, recently published in "Physical Review Letters," may solve the long-standing issue of the production of certain rare isotopes found in the so

The first high-definition geologic atlas of the entire Moon, scaled at 1:2.5 million, was unveiled on April 21.
The atlas, available in Chinese and English, consists of the Geologic Atlas of the Lunar Globe and the Map Quadrangles of the Geologic Atlas of the Moon (including explanatory manual). The Geologic Atlas of the Lunar Globe includes the Geologic Map of the Moon, the Lithologic Map

Scientists are investigating Martian sediments to understand early environmental conditions and potential signs of past life. Sediments collected by the Curiosity rover from Gale Crater, an ancient lake formed 3.8 billion years ago, revealed organic matter with a lower carbon-13 isotope content than Earth's, suggesting different formation processes on Mars.

The expansion of commercial space capabilities has transformed how we deliver mass and services to the Moon. These capabilities could create a real off-Earth economy if they operate jointly. An underlying analytical framework emphasizing integrated models of economic activity is needed to bridge current approaches to lunar system development and an integrated future lunar economy. This framework

Plants do whisper to one another, not through sound but through a delicate haze of airborne compounds. This invisible language of the leaves has intrigued scientists since the 1980s, leading to discoveries that plants use these chemical signals to ward off herbivores and alert their neighbors to danger. — Read the rest
