NASA’s Gateway project takes a major leap as the HALO module, a future home for Artemis astronauts, arrives in Arizona for final outfitting. With life support, command systems, and thermal controls being installed, HALO is preparing to serve as a critical link for lunar exploration. Excitement ma

When 3D printing is combined with machine learning, magic happens at the nano scale.

New research led by Imperial College London and co-authored by the University of Bristol, has revealed that aerial robotics could provide wide-ranging benefits to the safety, sustainability and scale of construction.

The research examines the emerging field of using drones for mid-air material deposition in the construction industry —a process known as Aerial Additive Manufacturing (Aerial AM).

This technology addresses pressing global housing and infrastructure challenges using aerial robots equipped with advanced manipulators that can overcome the limitations of traditional construction methods and ground-based robotic systems.

Over 100 red sprites were captured above the Himalayas in 2022. A study linked them to strong lightning strikes in a large thunderstorm system and introduced a new timing method for analysis. Have you ever heard of or seen red lightning? These are not animated characters, but real atmospheric ph

Non-reciprocal interactions between particles enable the regulation of dynamic states. Most systems, whether companies, societies, or entire nations, tend to function most effectively when each member performs their designated role. This efficiency is often supported by spatial organization, whic

Firefly Aerospace’s Alpha #FLTA006 “Message in a Booster” mission — initially scheduled to go on March 15 from Space Launch Complex 2 — now is slated to blast off Sunday

A single-celled microbe that revels in Earth’s most hostile salt lakes has the remarkable ability to transform its mote of a body into multicellular tissue when the pressure’s on.

“The advent of clonal multicellularity is a critical evolutionary milestone,” the international team who made this discovery, led by Brandeis University pathobiologist Theopi Rados, write in their new paper.

Haloferax volcanii is a member of the often-overlooked archaea domain, which looks quite similar to bacteria and yet have more in common with our own domain, eukaryota. Multicellularity is common in eukaryotes and rare among bacteria, and as far as we know, H. volcanii is only the second archaeon found to take this multicellular leap.

NASA continues to mark progress on plans to work with commercial and international partners as part of the Gateway program. The primary structure of HALO (Habitation and Logistics Outpost) arrived at Northrop Grumman’s facility in Gilbert, Arizona, where it will undergo final outfitting and verification testing.

HALO will provide Artemis astronauts with space to live, work, and conduct scientific research. The habitation module will be equipped with essential systems including command and control, data handling, energy storage, power distribution, and thermal regulation.

Following HALO’s arrival on April 1 from Thales Alenia Space in Turin, Italy, where it was assembled, NASA and Northrop Grumman hosted an April 24 event to acknowledge the milestone, and the module’s significance to lunar exploration. The event opened with remarks by representatives from Northrop Grumman and NASA, including NASA’s Acting Associate Administrator for Exploration Systems Development Lori Glaze, Gateway Program Manager Jon Olansen, and NASA astronaut Randy Bresnik. Event attendees, including Senior Advisor to the NASA Administrator Todd Ericson, elected officials, and local industry and academic leaders, viewed HALO and virtual reality demonstrations during a tour of the facilities.

Scientists say it’s the earliest galaxy seen doing this (so far).
