Redakcija za znanost i tehnologiju

Our Science and Technology Editorial Desk was born from a long-standing passion for exploring, interpreting, and bringing complex topics closer to everyday readers. It is written by employees and volunteers who have followed the development of science and technological innovation for decades, from laboratory discoveries to solutions that change daily life. Although we write in the plural, every article is authored by a real person with extensive editorial and journalistic experience, and deep respect for facts and verifiable information.

Our editorial team bases its work on the belief that science is strongest when it is accessible to everyone. That is why we strive for clarity, precision, and readability, without oversimplifying in a way that would compromise the quality of the content. We often spend hours studying research papers, technical documents, and expert sources in order to present each topic in a way that will interest rather than burden the reader. In every article, we aim to connect scientific insights with real life, showing how ideas from research centres, universities, and technology labs shape the world around us.

Our long experience in journalism allows us to recognize what is truly important for the reader, whether it is progress in artificial intelligence, medical breakthroughs, energy solutions, space missions, or devices that enter our everyday lives before we even imagine their possibilities. Our view of technology is not purely technical; we are also interested in the human stories behind major advances – researchers who spend years completing projects, engineers who turn ideas into functional systems, and visionaries who push the boundaries of what is possible.

A strong sense of responsibility guides our work as well. We want readers to trust the information we provide, so we verify sources, compare data, and avoid rushing to publish when something is not fully clear. Trust is built more slowly than news is written, but we believe that only such journalism has lasting value.

To us, technology is more than devices, and science is more than theory. These are fields that drive progress, shape society, and create new opportunities for everyone who wants to understand how the world works today and where it is heading tomorrow. That is why we approach every topic with seriousness but also with curiosity, because curiosity opens the door to the best stories.

Our mission is to bring readers closer to a world that is changing faster than ever before, with the conviction that quality journalism can be a bridge between experts, innovators, and all those who want to understand what happens behind the headlines. In this we see our true task: to transform the complex into the understandable, the distant into the familiar, and the unknown into the inspiring.

SMILE arrives in Kourou: ESA and China ahead of launching a mission that will image Earth’s magnetosphere in spring 2026.

SMILE arrives in Kourou: ESA and China ahead ...

Find out why the Smile spacecraft was delivered to French Guiana and what it will measure in space. The joint ESA–Chinese Academy of Sciences mission on a Vega-C rocket has a launch window from 8 April to 7 May 2026, and its X-ray and UV cameras should for the first time provide a complete picture of Earth’s response to the solar wind.

MIT’s parking-aware navigation model shows how to reduce cruising, delays, and emissions in cities

MIT’s parking-aware navigation model shows ...

Learn how MIT researchers, using data from Seattle, developed navigation that includes parking probability in the trip estimate. Instead of driving to an address, the model recommends an optimal parking facility and, in congestion, saves time and reduces cruising and emissions.

ESA's laboratory on wheels tests 5G to LEO satellites and heads to the EuCNC & 6G Summit in Málaga

ESA's laboratory on wheels tests 5G to ...

Find out how ESA's mobile laboratory on wheels at ESTEC tests 5G New Radio links with satellites in low orbit, why the Q-band and reliable „handovers“ are key, and what Europe expects from the EuCNC & 6G Summit in Málaga in early June 2026. We also provide background on ESA's Space for 5G/6G & Sustainable Connectivity programme.

Webb for the first time captured a 3D map of Uranus’s ionosphere and auroras and confirmed continued cooling of the atmosphere above the clouds

Webb for the first time captured a 3D map of ...

Learn how the James Webb Telescope, using the NIRSpec instrument, during 15 hours of observing Uranus, revealed the layers of its ionosphere up to about 5,000 km in altitude, where two auroral bands form and a dark zone appears between them. We explain what an average of 426 K means and why the upper atmosphere has been cooling for decades.

A new UCSF study busts the repetition myth: the brain learns faster when rewards are rarer and spaced over time

A new UCSF study busts the repetition myth: ...

Find out how UC San Francisco scientists in Nature Neuroscience showed that the interval between rewards—not the number of repetitions—speeds up associative learning. In experiments on mice, they tracked the dopamine signal and compared short and long intervals. The findings raise questions for school, addictions, and artificial intelligence.

Generative AI at UCSF and Wayne State accelerated pregnancy analysis and models for assessing preterm birth

Generative AI at UCSF and Wayne State ...

Learn how UCSF and Wayne State University teams used generative AI to build code and models in hours that estimate preterm birth risk and gestational age from large biomedical datasets. We explain what worked, where the tools failed, and why experts warn that human oversight is essential.

Sophie Adenot arrives at the ISS: ESA’s εpsilon mission begins, up to nine months with 36 European experiments

Sophie Adenot arrives at the ISS: ESA’s ...

Find out what ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot’s εpsilon mission brings to the ISS: from her role in the Columbus and Kibo laboratories to a series of European experiments on health, climate, and technology. We bring the key facts about the Crew-12 flight and the crew’s work. The crew docked with the station on 14 February 2026, and the stay is planned for up to nine months.

NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman telescope will map 12% of the sky and explore dark matter and dark energy in an infrared survey

NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman telescope will map ...

Find out how NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, planned for launch by 2027 and potentially as early as 2026, captures Hubble-level detail over a vast area of the sky and uses gravitational lensing and redshift to search for traces of dark matter and dark energy. We bring an overview of the survey that will cover about 12% of the sky and collect spectra for about 20 million galaxies.

Hubble captured the clearest “cosmic egg”: Egg Nebula in Cygnus reveals how a Sun-like star dies

Hubble captured the clearest “cosmic egg”: ...

Learn how NASA and ESA’s Hubble recorded the Egg Nebula in Cygnus, a rare pre-planetary nebula about 1,000 light-years away. New data reveal beams of light, a dusty disk, and possible traces of hidden companions as the star discards its outer layers, and why this phase is crucial for the formation of planetary nebulae.

Sentinel-1 satellites reveal Tibet

Sentinel-1 satellites reveal Tibet's ...

Learn how Copernicus Sentinel-1 radar satellites and GNSS measurements have measured millimeter-scale displacements of the Tibetan Plateau. We bring you today what the COMET team and the University of Leeds conclude about weaker faults, especially Kunlun, and how such maps can improve seismic hazard models.
