Find out how European researchers plan to turn lunar regolith into conductive inks and metal powders for printing electronic parts on the Moon. We bring you an overview of ESA’s project, its connection with the Artemis programme, and the reasons why local manufacturing could be crucial for future missions.
Find out how the European Space Agency, with the help of satellites, artificial intelligence and open data, is helping East Africa suppress locusts and Brazil and Peru detect earlier the risk of dengue and other mosquito-borne diseases.
Find out what NASA’s Curiosity rover’s new discovery on Mars means, where previously unseen organic molecules have been confirmed. We bring an overview of the scientific paper, the significance of the finding for the search for life, and the reasons why Glen Torridon is once again at the center of researchers’ interest.
Find out how Euclid and the Space Warps project involve citizens in the search for gravitational lenses, rare phenomena that help scientists investigate dark matter, dark energy, and the expansion of the Universe through previously unpublished images of distant galaxies.
Find out what Hubble’s new image of the Trifid Nebula, released for the telescope’s 36th anniversary, reveals. We bring an overview of the scientific significance of the scene in the constellation Sagittarius, the changes visible after 29 years, and the reasons why this release is important for modern astronomy.
Find out what scientists discovered when NASA’s Parker Solar Probe flew through a reconnection event in the solar wind in 2022. The data show that protons and heavy ions accelerate differently – a detail that changes models of solar storms and risks to technology.
