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.

Romanian ATD and ESA are developing a 10 kN restartable rocket engine for future European launches

Romanian ATD and ESA are developing a 10 kN ...

Find out how the Romanian company ATD Aerospace RS SRL, with ESA’s support, is developing a 10 kN restartable rocket engine with variable thrust for future European launches. We provide an overview of water-cooled tests, hypergolic propellants, and the role of the FLPP programme in developing reusable rocket stages.

Ariane 6 and ASTRIS: how the European space tug extends launch reach from low orbit to geostationary

Ariane 6 and ASTRIS: how the European space ...

Learn how Ariane 6 and the ASTRIS orbital vehicle are changing Europe’s approach to space, speeding satellites from transfer orbits to target orbits, saving fuel and extending spacecraft lifetimes, and opening new opportunities for commercial missions, constellations, and exploration of the Moon, deep space, and future missions.

Ariane 6 in Kourou for the first time with four boosters: VA267 carries Amazon Leo satellites into orbit from French Guiana

Ariane 6 in Kourou for the first time with ...

Find out how Europe’s spaceport in Kourou is assembling the most powerful version of Ariane 6, for the first time with four P120C boosters that double liftoff thrust. Mission VA267 should carry 32 satellites for Amazon’s constellation to low orbit, with key parts arriving on the ship Canopée under the oversight of ESA and Arianespace.

Ten years of radar monitoring of polar ice sheets: what Sentinel-1 data reveal about Greenland and Antarctica

Ten years of radar monitoring of polar ice ...

Learn how the Copernicus Sentinel-1 mission, over a decade of continuous radar measurements, reshaped our understanding of ice motion in Greenland and Antarctica, why glacier speeds are crucial for projecting global sea-level rise, and how new satellites and ROSE-L expand monitoring capabilities.

Mars Express reveals how winds on Mars and sand carve yardangs in Medusae Fossae near the equator

Mars Express reveals how winds on Mars and ...

Find out how Martian winds, captured by ESA’s Mars Express with the HRSC camera, lifted grains of sand and turned them into a “cosmic sandblaster” that carves grooves and leaves yardangs near Eumenides Dorsum in the Medusae Fossae region. We also explain what can be seen in the image alongside a crater and a plate-like lava flow, and why dust matters for the Martian climate.

NASA published a photo from the ISS: the Large Magellanic Cloud above Earth’s limb and atmospheric airglow

NASA published a photo from the ISS: the ...

Learn how an astronaut from the International Space Station captured the Large Magellanic Cloud and Earth’s limb with multicolored airglow. We provide context on the galactic neighborhood, supernova 1987A, and newer discoveries about dust and black holes. A view from orbit shows why the LMC is an important laboratory for star formation.

MIT in Science Advances: atmospheric inversion determines when a humid heat wave breaks and how strong the storms are in the midlatitudes

MIT in Science Advances: atmospheric ...

Find out how an MIT study in the journal Science Advances links atmospheric inversion to how long a humid heat wave lasts in the midlatitudes and how strong the storms that may follow can be. We explain what this means for forecasts, heat stress, and the risk of sudden downpours—especially in regions like the U.S. Midwest and East Asia.

Hubble confirmed that Cloud-9 is starless: a dark-matter-rich hydrogen cloud near Messier 94 in the local universe

Hubble confirmed that Cloud-9 is starless: a ...

Find out why Hubble’s deep imaging showed that Cloud-9, a neutral-hydrogen cloud near the galaxy Messier 94, has not a single star. Discovered in FAST’s radio survey and then confirmed by Hubble, the object is interpreted as a RELHIC – a dark-matter-dominated fossil from the era of reionization that changes the picture of how galaxies form.

Space Rider and Europe’s orbital ballet: how ESA is building a new low-Earth-orbit economy for science and industry

Space Rider and Europe’s orbital ballet: how ...

Find out how ESA’s Space Rider, a reusable orbital laboratory with runway return, could service future platforms in low Earth orbit, deliver experiments, bring valuable samples back to Earth, and open a new phase of the European space economy by offering industry microgravity as a service for pharmaceuticals, biomedicine, and advanced materials.
