Sometimes science goes just a little too far in the pursuit of progress. I’m not saying that’s the case with a new living skin that scientists made for robots. But I’m also not saying that’s not the case. Making artificial humans has been a goal of many for centuries, even dating back to the ancient …
NASA is already set to launch six more satellites into space. The first two are geared to launch sometime after June 12. The satellites are part of NASA’s Time-Resolved Observations of Precipitation Structure and Storm Intensity with a Constellation of Smallsats, or TROPICS. Together the six will join the TROPICS Pathfinder to study tropical cyclones.
Our world is changing, and it’s changing rather quickly. Keeping track of all of Earth’s changes can be difficult. Fires are ravaging parts of the world. Droughts are drying up lakes, leading to increased exposure to rocks and landmass, and even rockslides. And, the permafrost continues to melt, giving way to massive “mouth to hell” …

This results in songs making you feel happy, sad, calm, angry, and even a slew of other emotional responses. What you might not have guessed, though, is that music can possibly act …
NASA’s James Webb space telescope has been hit by a micrometeoroid. The space agency shared the news earlier this month. It says the micrometeoroid hit the telescope sometime between May 23 and 25. Luckily, the impact wasn’t strong enough to cause any trouble for James Webb.
Scientists have discovered a new, mysterious particle. Of course, making new discoveries is exciting. But, perhaps the most exciting thing about this particle is that it could be a candidate for dark matter. Incredibly, the never-before-seen particle was discovered using an experiment small enough to fit on a kitchen counter.
NASA’s most recent SpaceX mission to the International Space Station is on hold. The Space agency announced the delay earlier this week, citing eye exams, spacesuit work, and even a possible fuel leak with the Dragon spacecraft.
NASA’s Perseverance rover is on one of the most critical missions the space agency has ever had on the Red Planet. Tasked with finding evidence of ancient life in a part of the planet believed to be an ancient river delta, the rover has discovered a number of intriguing things. Now, though, it also seems …
NASA has big plans to explore Venus within the next 10 years. Last week, the space agency shared details about its Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble Gases, Chemistry, and Imaging (DAVINCI) probe. The probe is scheduled to launch in June of 2029. NASA hopes to have it in position to enter the atmosphere by …
A new video from SpinLaunch shows you exactly what it looks like to be launched into the Earth’s atmosphere at over 1,000 miles per hour. The video is just under a minute long, and it’s astonishing to watch as SpinLaunch literally throws its payload into the atmosphere.
