Japan’s new medium-lift rocket failed on its debut flight in space on Tuesday after the launcher’s second-stage engine did not ignite as planned, in a blow to its efforts to cut the cost of accessing space and compete against Elon Musk’s SpaceX. The 57-metre (187 ft) tall H3 rocket, Japan’s first new model in three […]
A SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule arrived safely at the International Space Station (ISS) after a brief delay early on Friday, carrying two U.S. astronauts, a Russian cosmonaut and a United Arab Emirates astronaut on a six-month science mission. The autonomously flying spacecraft dubbed Endeavour docked with the space station shortly after 1:40 a.m. EST (0640 […]
Have you ever looked up at the night sky and wondered what else is out there? The universe is vast, and the search for planets capable of sustaining life has been a long-standing goal of NASA. However, due to the limitations of our technology, we have only been able to explore a small fraction of […]
Observations by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope are upending the understanding of the early universe, indicating the presence of large and mature but remarkably compact galaxies teeming with stars far sooner than scientists had considered possible. Astronomers said data obtained by the telescope reveals what appear to be six big galaxies as mature as our […]
The White House is launching a partnership with India on Tuesday that President Joe Biden hopes will help the countries compete against China on military equipment, semiconductors and artificial intelligence. Washington wants to deploy more Western mobile phone networks in the subcontinent to counter China’s Huawei Technologies, to welcome more Indian computer chip specialists to […]
The United States plans to test a spacecraft engine powered by nuclear fission by 2027 as part of a long-term NASA effort to demonstrate more efficient methods of propelling astronauts to Mars in the future, the space agency’s chief said on Tuesday. NASA will partner with the U.S. military’s research and development agency, DARPA, to […]
In December 2019, Covid-19 took the world by storm as it rampaged across the earth. Originating from Wuhan, China, the virus damaged life as we knew it. It hindered the economy across all sectors, notably the medical field, from supply shortages to patient care quality declining. The pandemic fallout centered mainly around the medical sector […]
Drones are a game-changing technology that will change in ways you probably never thought possible over the course of the next ten years. Even though you might not give drones much thought now, they will have a significant impact on all of our lives in the future. Today, drones can be found on other planets […]
Nature does it best, and we, humans, can only imitate it. In some instances, however, humans should not even think about it. The John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS)’s robotic tentacle arm is a case in point. It’s a mechanical mix between a claw machine and nature’s most intriguing Cnidaria, the […]
