Research on the International Space Station reveals how bubbles in microgravity behave differently, becoming larger and more stable. This phenomenon provides a revolutionary method to concentrate tiny cancer biomarkers and nanoplastics particles, paving the way for ultrasensitive diagnostics.
NASA's BioNutrients project on the International Space Station is testing a revolutionary method of producing fresh nutrients and vitamins. Using genetically modified yeast, astronauts create key compounds, which is crucial for future long-term missions to Mars and has the potential to be deployed in remote areas on Earth.
Just a few weeks after launch, the new European meteorological satellite MetOp-SG-A1 has sent its first impressive data. Its advanced MWS and RO instruments provide unprecedented precision in measuring temperature and humidity, which will bring a revolution in weather forecasting and climate change monitoring
Revolutionary data from the Solar Orbiter mission, led by ESA and NASA, revealed that super-fast electrons from the sun come from two different sources: solar flares and coronal mass ejections. This discovery is crucial for more accurate forecasting of space weather and protection of satellites, astronauts and technology on Earth.
The James Webb Space Telescope delivers a spectacular new image of the Butterfly Star, IRAs 04302+2247. This unique protoplanetary disc, seen from the edge, provides unprecedented insight into the earliest stages of planet formation. Discover how scientists study this cosmic cradle 525 light-years away.
The retirement of the International Space Station in 2030 and cuts in NASA'S budget put the US at risk of losing space dominance. As America faces a potential vacuum in low-earth orbit, China is making unstoppable progress with its Tiangong station and plans for the moon, threatening to take the lead.
