Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Sep 01, 2025
A research team at Pusan National University has unveiled a self-deploying composite material that could transform the design of robotics, aerospace systems, and adaptive structures. The breakthrough relies on a multi-resin dispensing technique for fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) that combines rigid and flexible epoxy resins, allowing selective tuning of structural rigidity within a single piec

Stargazers will have a chance to see a "Blood Moon" on Sunday night during a total lunar eclipse visible across Asia and swathes of Europe and Africa. When the Sun, Earth and Moon line up, the shadow cast by the planet on its satellite makes it appear an eerie, deep red colour that has astounded humans for millennia. People in Asia, including India and China, will be best placed to see S

Researchers at Delft University of Technology have, for the first time, directly observed the magnetic nucleus of a single atom switching in real time. Using a scanning tunneling microscope (STM), the team read out the nuclear spin through the atom's electrons and discovered that the spin remained stable for several seconds, far longer than expected. The results, reported in Nature Communication

SpaceX launched 28 Starlink satellites from Florida on Wednesday morning. The Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 7:56 a.m. EDT. No sonic booms were heard from the launch. The booster, on its 14th flight, landed on the drone ship "A Shortfall of Gravitas" in the Atlantic Ocean at 8:04 a.m. The launch took place after SpaceX laun
Second MTG-Imager in the thermal vacuum chamber

The second of the Meteosat Third Generation Imagers, MTG-I2, has passed some important milestones in the cleanroom facilities at Thales Alenia Space in Cannes, southern France.

dashAlpha, a platform to switch between connections, successfully demonstrated its use at ESA ECSAT in Harwell, UK.

Making video calls while travelling – or when faced with an unstable internet connection – just got easier, thanks to a technology that allows devices to seamlessly bond satellite and ground connections. The European Space Agency (ESA) recently partnered with British advanced networking technology company UniVirtua to conduct a live demonstration of the dashAlpha platform, which could be used to uninterruptedly connect vehicles essential to disaster relief as well as self-driving cars.

Bulgaria will not open an investigation into the GPS jamming that hit a plane carrying EU chief chief Ursula von der Leyen as it readied to land in the Balkan nation, its prime minister said Tuesday. The European Commission said on Monday that Bulgarian authorities believed Moscow was responsible for the weekend incident but it was not clear whether the aircraft was deliberately targeted as

Picture this: You're stuck in traffic on a summer afternoon, checking the weather app on your phone as dark storm clouds roll in. You might think about power outages or possible flooding, but you probably don't think about how every lightning bolt that flashes across the sky also emits a gas, nitrogen oxide (NO), that is also emitted in the exhaust from your car's engine. Yet, that's exact
Washington DC (SPX) Sep 02, 2025
NASA scientists have developed a new set of tools to monitor plant growth under various conditions throughout the growing season. The hope is that land managers could use these tools to detect sudden drops in plant productivity and to respond earlier to events like heat stress, droughts, and cold snaps. Monitoring the productivity, or how efficiently plants are producing energy through pho
Paris, France (SPX) Sep 03, 2025
Less than three weeks after its 13 August launch, the Metop Second Generation A1 (Metop-SGA1) satellite is already transmitting data from two of its six instruments. Early readings from the Microwave Sounder (MWS) and the Radio Occultation Sounder (RO) mark the beginning of a new era in European meteorological and climate monitoring. Metop-SGA1 is the first satellite in the EUMETSAT Polar
