NASA’s most advanced radar ever will track earthquakes, landslides, and ice loss from space

NASA and ISRO have launched NISAR, a groundbreaking radar satellite that will monitor natural disasters and environmental changes across Earth. It can scan land and ice surfaces every 12 days, offering scientists vital data on earthquakes, floods, melting glaciers, and more.

Radar that could find life on Europa just nailed its first big test

NASA’s Europa Clipper spacecraft just aced a key radar test while flying past Mars, proving its ability to detect structures beneath planetary surfaces—something that couldn’t be tested on Earth. The radar, known as REASON, will eventually be used to explore Europa, an icy moon of Jupiter believed to harbor a subsurface ocean.

Scientists just recreated the Universe’s first molecule and solved a 13-billion-year-old puzzle

Long before stars lit up the sky, the universe was a hot, dense place where simple chemistry quietly set the stage for everything to come. Scientists have now recreated the first molecule ever to form, helium hydride, and discovered it played a much bigger role in the birth of stars than we thought. Using a

Underground life on Mars? Cosmic rays could make it possible

Cosmic rays from deep space might be the secret energy source that allows life to exist underground on Mars and icy moons like Enceladus and Europa. New research reveals that when these rays interact with water or ice below the surface, they release energy-carrying electrons that could feed microscopic life, a process known as radiolysis.

This new titanium alloy is 29% cheaper, and even stronger

A team of engineers at RMIT University has developed a groundbreaking 3D-printed titanium alloy that s stronger, more ductile, and nearly 30% cheaper to produce than the traditional standard. By replacing expensive vanadium with more accessible elements and rethinking how titanium alloys are designed, the team created a material with improved performance and more uniform
