Robots modelled after dung beetles leverage nature’s ingenuity with efficient, space-saving object-rolling mechanics.
Results for "space missions"
Swirling clouds of axions around neutron stars could help scientists detect dark matter
Dark matter may be gathering in dense clouds around neutron stars, potentially making it easier to observe it from Earth.
Wetlands can be recovered with the right plants, and that’s good news for the planet
Scientists are reviving lost wetlands using paludiculture, blending ecology and economy to combat climate change and restore biodiversity.
Better organoids mean better brain models
Mimicking one of the body’s most complex organs isn’t easy, but researchers are making progress.
3D printing goes “green” with microalgae ink
A search for environmentally friendly inks led researchers to microalgae biofactories, providing a renewable biomass solution.
Astronomers witness the reawakening of a black hole
Imagine observing a distant galaxy for years when suddenly its core begins exhibiting unprecedented changes.
The rate of human-driven global warming is at a record high
Global warming caused by human action has continued to increase, even though climate action has slowed the rise in greenhouse gas emissions.
LISA gravitational wave detector could help scientists see the birth of the Universe
ESA greenlights LISA, a space-based observatory poised to detect gravitational waves across space and time.
A 3D bioprinter builds living tissue in orbit
To develop medical treatments in space, scientists first need to understand how the body behaves in this foreign environment.
