On the path to defining a new second
Berlin, Germany (SPX) Jan 20, 2025
The future of timekeeping is being reshaped by optical atomic clocks, which operate with laser frequencies roughly 100,000 times faster than the microwave frequencies of caesium clocks, the current standard for defining the second in the International System of Units (SI). Some of these optical clocks are already 100 times more accurate than caesium clocks and are poised to redefine the second.

Bioactive compounds with industrial applications discovered in Andes bacteria
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Jan 20, 2025
Researchers have analyzed biofilm produced by bacteria from the El Medano hot springs in Chile's central Andes, discovering that a key component has potential applications as a natural additive in the pharmaceutical and food industries. The study was recently published in the journal Scientific Reports.
The key component, an exopolysaccharide (EPS), is a cluster of extracellular carbohydra

Astrophysicists reveal structure of exocomet belts around 74 nearby stars
London, UK (SPX) Jan 20, 2025
Astrophysicists, led by researchers from Trinity College Dublin, have successfully captured detailed images of exocomet belts around 74 nearby stars, marking a significant step in understanding these distant systems. The images highlight light emitted from millimetre-sized pebbles within the belts, which range across a variety of stellar ages-from young stars still forming to more mature systems

ISRO demonstrates restart of Vikas engine
Sydney, Australia (SPX) Jan 20, 2025
ISRO successfully demonstrated the capability to restart its Vikas liquid engine during a test conducted on January 17, 2025, at the ISRO Propulsion Complex in Mahendragiri. The Vikas engine, a critical component powering the liquid stages of ISRO's launch vehicles, is instrumental in advancing technologies for stage recovery and future launch vehicle reusability.

FAA grounds SpaceX Starship launches after breakup
Washington DC (UPI) Jan 18, 2025
The Federal Aviation Administration has paused SpaceX's launch of its Starship rocket as the U.S. agency oversees an investigation by the private company of the breakup after a test launch Thursday.
The upper stage exploded minutes after launch from South Texas, leading the company to declare the uncrewed vessel a "loss" in the seventh test flight of the heavy-lift spacecraft.

US grounds SpaceX's Starship after fiery mid-air explosion
Washington (AFP) Jan 17, 2025
The United States on Friday grounded SpaceX's Starship and ordered Elon Musk's company to investigate why the spaceship spectacularly disintegrated in a fiery cascade over the Caribbean during its latest test mission.
Authorities in the Turks and Caicos Islands confirmed they diverted all flights from their airspace during the incident and urged residents not to touch fallen debris, warning
