Parker Solar Probe Finds Surprise Particle Accelerator in Sun’s Corona
NASA's Parker Solar Probe detected high-energy particles deep inside the solar corona moving faster than any scientific model allowed, tracing them to merging closed magnetic loops — a particle-acceleration mechanism nobody had predicted and that rewrites decades of solar wind theory.
8 Engineering Breakthroughs Behind NASA’s New Wheel-Lifting Rover
NASA's JPL is testing ERNEST, a four-wheeled prototype rover that can lift its wheels to climb obstacles and drive nearly 10 times faster than Perseverance or Curiosity. Here are nine things its engineering reveals about the future of planetary exploration.
Why Alcohol Research Contradicts Itself: A 2026 Study Finally Explains
A June 2026 reconciliation study explains why decades of alcohol research produced opposite conclusions — moderate drinkers looked healthier not because alcohol protected them, but because the abstainer control group was skewed by sick former drinkers.
Whole-Genome Sequencing in Clinical Research: Lab Promise vs. Patient Reality
Whole-genome sequencing can compress a rare-disease diagnosis from years to weeks, but leading clinical geneticist Prof. Emma Baple outlines the scientific, infrastructural, and interpretive challenges that still separate the lab from the clinic.
NASA Picked Eric Schmidt’s Never-Orbital Rocket for Mars 2028 Mission
NASA has picked Relativity Space, Eric Schmidt's 3D-printing rocket company that has yet to reach Earth orbit, to launch the Aeolus Mars orbiter in 2028—a compressed timeline that will test both commercial spaceflight and unconventional propulsion technology.
James Webb Telescope Catches Exoplanet Losing Its Atmosphere in Real Time
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured a gas giant called HD 80606 b experiencing a 1,100°F temperature spike in just hours during its closest approach to its star, providing the clearest evidence yet of a planet's atmosphere being stripped away by extreme stellar radiation.Load More
