PAKISTAN has once again tested a nuclear warhead-capable missile as tensions continue to escalate between the nation and India after Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan warned of the “threat of imminent conflict” between the nuclear-armed nations.
SpaceX is planning a mega-constellation of thousands of internet satellites called Starlink. But the FCC didn’t perform an environmental review.
NASA is sending a pair of astronauts on a spacewalk outside the International Space Station today (Jan. 25) to finish fixing a complicated science experiment. Here’s how to watch it live.
NASA TV began streaming the spacewalk around 5:30 a.m. EST (1030 GMT) as European Space Agency astronaut Luca Parmitano and NASA astronaut Andrew Morgan complete their final spacewalk preparations. You can watch it live here on Space.com. The spacewalk is expected to start around 6:50 a.m. EST (1150 GMT), when the astronauts will switch their spacesuits over to battery power before heading out of the airlock.
A provocative new study suggests the microbes that live in your gut could reveal critical details about your health — and your death.
In General Relativity, the fabric of space doesn’t remain static over time. Everything else depends on the details we measure.
When it comes to building the interior of a spacecraft, engineers often prioritize function over aesthetics, focusing on materials and hardware that are both safe and effective for executing the vehicle’s intended mission. But some scientists say it’s time to consider another crucial factor when designing a spacecraft’s insides: how it will affect the behavior of the passengers?
University of California, Berkeley, scientists have created a blue light-emitting diode (LED) from a trendy new semiconductor material, halide perovskite, overcoming a major barrier to employing these cheap, easy-to-make materials in electronic devices.
In the process, however, the researchers discovered a fundamental property of halide perovskites that may prove a barrier to their widespread use as solar cells and transistors.
Alternatively, this unique property may open up a whole new world for perovskites far beyond that of today’s standard semiconductors.
Prof Claudia de Rham’s ‘massive gravity’ theory could explain why universe expansion is accelerating.
Early morning exposure to blue wavelength light can help heal the brain following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), new research suggests.
Results of a small, randomized controlled trial showed blue-light therapy improved brain structure and function, cognition, and sleep in this patient population.
“We found that blue-light therapy improved patients’ daytime sleepiness,” study investigator William D. ‘Scott’ Killgore, PhD, told Medscape Medical News. “So those who got the blue light were less sleepy 6 weeks later than they had been at baseline.”
A new paper formulates and suggests laboratory experiments to confirm mass-energy-information equivalence.
