NASA Astronaut Brought Rocket Launches to SLO Kids — Here’s Why It Works
When NASA astronaut Barbara Morgan visited San Luis Obispo County in 1993, she put rocket science directly into students' hands — and decades of neuroscience confirm why that approach transforms young learners in ways passive instruction never can.
Mummy DNA Proves Smallpox Arrived With Colonizers, Not Before Them
Genomic analysis of a 17th-century Lithuanian mummy and colonial-era Chilean remains delivers the clearest biological evidence that European colonizers introduced smallpox to the Americas, with no genetic trace of a pre-Columbian viral lineage found.
Presolar Grains Older Than Earth Were the Seeds of Our Solar System
Microscopic presolar grains found in the Allende meteorite predate the Sun by up to 3 billion years — and new research proposes they acted as nucleation seeds for the solar system's very first solids.
Stanford Found 6 Brain Subtypes of Depression—So Why Are Doctors Still Guessing?
Stanford Medicine has identified at least six distinct brain-based subtypes of depression and anxiety using neuroimaging, exposing how imprecise symptom-only diagnosis has been—and what a biomarker-driven approach could mean for the 30–40% of patients who don't respond to first-line treatment.
Fossil Preserves Liver, Stomach & Gut of a 245-Million-Year-Old Sea Reptile
Discovered in Yunnan, China, the 245-million-year-old marine reptile Austronaga minuta is one of the rarest fossils ever found: a nearly complete skeleton with its major internal organs still preserved, offering scientists a direct anatomical window into early Triassic sea life.
NASA’s Nuclear Rocket Could Reach Mars in 4 Months — Here’s How It Works
NASA's SR-1 Freedom spacecraft, powered by a nuclear thermal reactor, is targeting a December 2028 Mars launch — and its engine design could slash the 8-month chemical-rocket journey down to roughly four months.Load More
