NASA JPL’s 3D-Printed Titanium Lattice Built to Absorb Mars Capsule’s 110 mph
NASA JPL has developed a 3D-printed titanium lattice structure — built via powder bed fusion — to absorb the Earth Entry Vehicle's violent, parachute-free 110 mph landing and protect sealed Mars rock samples from destruction.
Why Kids’ Dinosaur Obsessions Actually Train the Developing Brain
Around one in three children develop an intense conceptual interest before age 6, and dinosaurs top the list — not by accident, but because they hit a rare cognitive sweet spot that actively trains the developing brain.
Antikythera Mechanism: The 2,100-Year-Old Computer That Still Baffles Scientists
Recovered from an Aegean shipwreck in 1901, the Antikythera mechanism is the world's oldest analogue computer — a hand-cranked bronze device that mechanically tracked eclipses, lunar cycles, and planetary motion around 100 BC. CT scans have unlocked remarkable detail, yet its origins and full planetary display remain unsolved.
Swift Space Telescope Was Falling to Earth — NASA’s Rescue Mission Just Launched
NASA's Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory — humanity's fastest detector of gamma-ray bursts — was slowly falling from orbit with no engine to stop it. On 3 July 2026, a robotic spacecraft called LINK lifted off to intercept Swift and push it back to safety in the first commercial orbital rescue of a NASA science observatory ever attempted.
Fossil Fuel Industry Spends $250M a Year to Block the Policies Science Demands
A coordinated letter-to-the-editor campaign appearing in seven regional newspapers spotlights two hard-to-dispute facts: fossil fuel combustion is driving unprecedented warming, and the industry spends roughly $250 million a year on U.S. lobbying to limit the policies science says are urgently needed.
Hubble Photographed 500,000 Stars in One Cluster — All Red, White, and Blue
NASA released a stunning new Hubble Space Telescope image of Messier 3, a globular cluster containing more than 500,000 ancient stars whose real colors — red, white, and blue — reflect genuine differences in stellar temperature and age.Load More
