Picture yourself at an airport a few decades from now. What does your airliner look like? It's more efficient, with lower emissions than today's aircraft - what kinds of designs or technology make that possible? NASA is working to answer those questions by commissioning five new design studies looking to push the boundaries of possibility for sustainable aircraft. Through NASA's Advanced A

Data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) are challenging the long-held model of galaxy formation that posited the involvement of invisible dark matter. Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have published findings in *The Astrophysical Journal* suggesting that instead of dark matter, an alternative gravitational theory might explain the formation of early galaxies.
