Following its liftoff from Cape Canaveral on July 21 aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, the Mission Robotic Vehicle (MRV) hosting the NASA-supported Robotic Servicing of Geosynchronous Satellites (RSGS) payload is now en route to geosynchronous Earth orbit, where it will use its advanced robotics to service spacecraft. RSGS leverages in-space robotics expertise from NASA,
The American chestnut tree was a dominant and iconic species in many Appalachian forests until it was devastated by an introduced fungus from Asia called chestnut blight.
The brothers puncture everyday objects with irregular yet cohesive holes, rendering their former functions impractical.
3% for adults and 94% for youths (15- to 24-year-olds). However, illiteracy still affects marginalized and remote communities, such as ethnic minority populations and older adults in mountainous areas.
The EU's food safety agency said Wednesday it has dramatically reduced the acceptable daily intake level of the so-called forever chemical TFA, following new evidence of its effect on a key hormone that regulates the body's metabolism.
According to United Nations projections, global food demand could increase by around 60% by 2050, while only about 2% of additional agricultural land is expected to become available. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) are therefore exploring new approaches to safeguard food security.
Giant Pop-Up Book at Los Angeles Public Library Sets Guinness World Record @lapubliclibraryLuceros y Penumbras has just been officially recognized by Guinness World Records as the largest pop-up book ever created!
Lee esta historia en español aquí. NASA’s Juno mission has provided the first measurements of the temperature below the surface of Jupiter’s moon Io, revealing significant heating within the shallow subsurface of the most volcanically active world in the solar system. Collected during two close flybys, the data also shows that most of Io’s surface is
A growing backlash against the Premier League has sparked huge interest in community clubs, which make football affordable for everyone As Premier League prices rise, growing numbers of supporters are seeking out something closer, cheaper and more human in non-league football.
Surreal Sculptures Visualize Human Greed as Soft Bodies Bloating Out of the Frame Multifaceted artist Vincent Lagrange spent more than two decades photographing animals with a sense of closeness that defined his acclaimed series Between Us. With Never Enough, he shifts that gaze inward, building sculptural forms that transform photography’s logic into physical space.
NASA is supporting the Genesis Mission, a national effort to drive the use of artificial intelligence in tackling complex scientific and engineering challenges to advance a new era of discovery. President Donald J. Trump issued the Executive Order “Launching the Genesis Mission” on Nov. 24, 2025, creating a national mission to leverage artificial intelligence to
Japanese Artist Repurposes Eraser Shavings To Create Detailed Bird Sculptures An eraser is one of the most reliable tools for an artist. It allows them to delete guide lines and mistakes that would otherwise ruin all the progress made on a project. But with each use of the eraser, there are shavings left behind. Most people brush them off, but not Japanese artist Saya Irie.
In some of those really old countries: Greece, Turkey, China, history has a funny way of piling up and losing some of its intrigue. Take this kitchen table for example—it’s actually a kind of diploma issued in the Qing Dynasty, but Mr. Xu of Anhui province didn’t know, even though he and his family had
Before a hydra can regrow a head or foot, its cells appear to rebuild the internal map that tells them where they are and what they should become next, FMI researchers report. The work suggests that cells need to interpret not only where they are in the body, but also what stage of regeneration they are in—a finding that could help explain how tissues regenerate after injury.
Solar panels and batteries allow two Salt Lake City businesses to serve as a community hub during outages.
Happy Eco News From Car to Orca: A Community Transforms Emissions into Art A community of 30 volunteers in Squamish, BC, transformed a decommissioned diesel truck into a 20-foot illuminated orca sculpture, named after Southern Resident orca Granny, to spark wonder and conversation about ocean conservation and the shift from industrial consumption to ecological stewardship.
Volunteers armed with chisels, brushes and protective goggles chip away at rock encasing the bones of a massive prehistoric amphibian in a glass-walled laboratory on the ground floor of Warsaw's Copernicus Science Centre.
Enzymes are proteins that can be harnessed for chemical manufacturing, but they are typically restricted to mild temperatures because proteins unfold and lose their function under heat. In new research published in Angewandte Chemie Novit, investigators found that a porous organic polymer can be used to encapsulate a lipase (a type of enzyme) and create a protective molecular cage that prevents enzyme denaturation, enabling efficient and recyclable reactions with high-melting solids at and above 100°C.
Happy Eco News Youth Blue Economy Solutions Drive Sustainable Innovation Youth blue economy solutions are helping young entrepreneurs develop sustainable solutions to pollution, climate resilience, clean water, and environmental protection through the Euronext Blue Challenge 2026.
30 years ago today, The Daily Show began satirizing and skewering politicians and broadcasters on cable TV’s Comedy Central. “Nobody had done it before,” said former head writer and co-creator Lizz Winstead. ” Her co-creator Madeleine Smithberg supplemented the brilliant talents of host Jon Stewart with a posse of
A theorized limit to our planet’s response to geomagnetic storms may be the product of a statistical illusion, researchers claim, revealing that the extent of damage from the most extreme solar events could be greater than we ever imagined.
Deep learning approaches have transformed how scientists predict the activity and function of DNA sequences in the genome. A new AI tool called Corgi (Context-aware Regulatory Genomics Inference), developed by Martin Vingron's bioinformatics group at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics allows researchers to predict how the genome behaves across different cell types. The findings could help improve efforts to mimic the activity of cells virtually, with potential applications in basic research and medicine.
The critically endangered sand tiger shark (Carcharias taurus) appears to have found a refuge off the northern coast of the state of São Paulo, Brazil, for mating and reproduction. This was revealed in a study conducted by scientists and divers in the Alcatrazes Archipelago, a protected marine area located 35 kilometers (22 miles) off the coast of São Sebastião.
A new study from Edith Cowan University (ECU) confirms that the presence of fungal food resources is important for supporting the reintroduction of two threatened marsupials to the Shark Bay World Heritage area, which could simultaneously advance species conservation and ecosystem restoration. D. candidate Rebecca Quah, took place at six sites across Western Australia and the Northern Territory, including Dirk Hartog Island in Shark Bay.
