On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of human presence on the ISS, we reveal the key role of silver in space research. From fighting dangerous biofilms with antimicrobial nanoparticles and developing smart clothing for astronaut health monitoring, to growing perfect crystals for the future of nanotechnology on Earth
A revolutionary branch of mathematics, positive geometry, offers a unique language for describing reality from subatomic particles to the structure of the entire universe. Discover how abstract objects such as the amplituhedron replace complex Feynman diagrams and help scientists unravel the secrets of the Big Bang and the quantum world
EUMETSAT has taken control of the revolutionary Metop-SGA1 satellite, ushering in a new era of accurate weather forecasts. With the launch of the first satellite from the EPS-SG program, Europe gets a key tool for climate monitoring and early warning of extreme weather conditions, equipped with the most advanced instruments.
The small Arctic meteorological satellite of the European Space Agency (ESA), built according to the "New Space" principles, has already exceeded all expectations. The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) uses its data operationally, which brings a revolution in forecast accuracy, especially for the Arctic, and lays the foundation for the future EPS-Stern constellation.
The revolutionary NASA PREFIRE mission, which uses a pair of CubeSat satellites to measure key infrared radiation, has been extended to 2026 and extended to the entire planet. Learn how this data will improve climate models, the accuracy of weather forecasts, and reveal the secrets of Earth's energy system.
NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, with its 200 times larger field of view than Hubble, will conduct sky exploration in search of Type Ia supernovae. These cosmic events serve as' standard candles' to measure the expansion of the universe and are key to understanding the mysterious dark energy that drives its acceleration.
