It's humanity's first flight to the moon since 1972. In a throwback to Apollo, NASA's Artemis II mission will send four astronauts on a lunar fly-around. They'll hurtle several thousand miles beyond the moon, hang a U-turn, and then come straight back. No circling around the moon, no stopping for...
GeekSpin - 1 day 8 hours agoDeep beneath the sands of the Giza Plateau, a mystery may be stirring that could rewrite the story of ancient Egypt. Scientists are buzzing over radar scans and unusual geometric patterns that hint at a hidden structure eerily resembling the Great Sphinx a potential twin lying buried for millennia. Could this be a long-lost […] Read the original article here: Scientists may have found a second Sphinx in Egypt...

A surprising breakthrough suggests that a drug best known as Viagra could help treat a devastating childhood disease. Researchers found that sildenafil significantly improved symptoms in patients with Leigh syndrome a rare and often fatal disorder that affects the brain and muscles. In a small study, patients showed stronger muscles, fewer seizures, and better recovery from dangerous metabolic crises, with some experiencing dramatic improvements in mobility and daily life.
DNA robots are emerging as tiny programmable machines that could one day deliver drugs, hunt viruses, and build molecular-scale devices. By borrowing ideas from traditional robotics and combining them with DNA folding techniques, scientists are creating structures that can move and act with precision. These robots can be guided using chemical reactions or external signals like light and magnetic fields.
GeekSpin - 1 day 18 hours agoIn the silent, freezing expanse of interstellar space, a small spacecraft launched in the era of disco and analog tape has just achieved a feat once thought to belong only to science fiction. NASA's Voyager 1 has officially crossed a staggering new threshold, reaching a distance of one light-day from Earth. So how is this […] Read the original article here: NASA's Voyager 1 reaches a staggering new distance from Earth...

Retraction Watch - 2 days 2 hours agoA few months ago, when Elle O'Brien, a data scientist at the University of Michigan, was checking who had recently cited her work on Google Scholar, she came across something that would take her and her colleagues down "a rabbit hole." When O'Brien opened a publication that had recently cited her, it appeared to be … Continue reading A citation alert led researchers to a network of fake articles. But who is benefiting?...
For decades, satellites have been beaming data from Earth to space and back via radio waves. But with the growing number of spacecraft in orbit and the increasing quantities of data beaming back to Earth, radio spectrum is hitting its physical limits. For about a decade, companies and research institutions have been working on higher-bandwidth, optical technologies that would remove current data transmission bottlenecks . Perhaps the most ambitious among those companies is Singapore-based deep-tech...

Last Word On Nothing - 2 days 11 hours agoWhen I was a kid, I pretended I was a bird, and I did it in front of anyone in early elementary school, winging around with my arms outstretched. Around fourth grade I started learning modesty and only soared when no one was watching. The ground I imagined was far away, ants the size of […] The post Wanting to Be a Bird appeared first on The Last Word On Nothing .
GeekSpin - 2 days 18 hours agoNASA is gearing up for one of its boldest Mars missions yet, and it's not just about landing on the Red Planet. In 2028, the agency plans to send a nuclear-powered spacecraft carrying not one, but three helicopters designed to take exploration to new heights. But how will these flying scouts survive a high-risk descent? […] Read the original article here: NASA plans to send 3 helicopters to Mars in 2028...
