Scientists have used powerful X-ray nano-imaging to investigate fossilised microorganisms preserved in one of Earth’s most extreme environments. The fossils from Spain’s Río Tinto could help researchers recognise ancient traces of life […]
Scientists led by the University of Oxford have created extraordinarily dense beams of matter and antimatter in the laboratory. Containing around 10 trillion electron-positron pairs, these artificial “fireballs” could allow researchers to […]
Nora Eisner is an astrophysicist affiliated with KU Leuven’s Astronomy Unit. For her PhD at the University of Oxford, she is assisted by more than 30,000 volunteers. “I would never have been […]
Next month, NASA will launch into space the most advanced laser instrument of its kind, beginning a mission to measure – in unprecedented detail – changes in the heights of Earth’s polar […]
The dust that coats much of the surface of Mars originates largely from a single thousand-kilometer-long geological formation near the Red Planet’s equator, scientists have found. A study published in the journal Nature Communications found a […]
NASA introduced to the world on Friday the first U.S. astronauts who will fly on American-made, commercial spacecraft to and from the International Space Station – an endeavor that will return astronaut launches to […]
Using observations from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and ground-based observatories, an international team of scientists have confirmed ′Oumuamua (oh-MOO-ah-MOO-ah), the first known interstellar object to travel through our solar system, got an unexpected boost […]
NASA’s Curiosity rover has found new evidence preserved in rocks on Mars that suggests the planet could have supported ancient life, as well as new evidence in the Martian atmosphere that relates […]
NASA has selected 304 proposals from U.S. small businesses to advance research and technology in Phase I of its 2018 SmallBusinessInnovationResearch (SBIR) program and 44 proposals for the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program, totaling $43.5 […]
NASA is about to go on a journey to study the interior of Mars. The space agency held a news conference today at its Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, detailing […]
Oxford University are to play a key role in ARIEL, a new research mission to better understand the formation and evolution of exoplanets. The project was chosen by the European Space Agency […]
NASA has powered on its latest space payload to continue long-term measurements of the Sun’s incoming energy. Total and Spectral solar Irradiance Sensor (TSIS-1), installed on the International Space Station, became fully operational […]
NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has begun extra stargazing to help the space agency accomplish advances in Mars exploration over the next decade. The spacecraft already has worked more than double its […]
