Space exploration, planetary science, scientific discoveries, academic research, and breakthrough physics.
scienceA landmark paper published in Science today by the NASA New Horizons science team confirms that Pluto's vast heart-shaped basin, Sputnik Planitia, is actively churned by liquid nitrogen convection currents driven by interior geothermal warmth.
scienceA scientific study published today by planetary researchers at ETH Zurich has overturned long-standing models of planetary creation. High-precision isotopic fingerprinting shows Earth formed almost entirely from inner Solar System materials, disproving the prevailing theory that outer solar system meteorites delivered the vast majority of our planet's volatile mass.
scienceThe U.S. National Science Foundation officially launched its flagship $1.5 billion 'X-Labs' initiative today, unveiling its inaugural research tracks dedicated to Physical Artificial Intelligence and embodied robotics. The national program funds multidisciplinary university and industry consortia to build AI systems that interact directly with the physical world.
scienceScientists at the Physical Research Laboratory (PRL) in Ahmedabad have confirmed the discovery of an ancient impact structure on the Moon named the 'Australe Basin'. Utilizing mineralogical reflectance datasets captured by the Moon Mineralogy Mapper aboard India's Chandrayaan-1 mission, the discovery provides crucial new evidence regarding the early bombardment history of the inner solar system.
