Tibetan Plateau vertical ground displacement

A study on tectonic plates that converge on the Tibetan Plateau has shown that Earth’s fault lines are far weaker and the continents are less rigid than scientists previously thought. This finding is based on ground-monitoring satellite data.

Using cutting-edge material licensed from NASA, a protective heat shield manufactured in-house by Varda Space Industries for the first time enabled one of its capsules to blaze through Earth's atmosphere on Thursday, marking a significant milestone for the agency and America's space industry. The material, known as C-PICA (Conformal Phenolic Impregnated Carbon Ablator), provides a stronger, less

Rocket Lab Corporation has completed its 81st Electron mission, successfully deploying an Earth observation satellite for the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and marking its second launch in just eight days. The mission, named Bridging The Swarm, lifted off on January 30 at 2:21 p.m. NZDT (01:21 UTC) from Rocket Lab's Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand to place the

New findings from NASAs Perseverance rover have revealed evidence of wave-formed beaches and rocks altered by subsurface water in a Martian crater that once held a vast lake - considerably expanding the timeline for potential habitability at this ancient site. In an international study led by Imperial College London, researchers uncovered that the so-called Margin unit in Marss Jezero crat

NASA is preparing a pair of global communications networks to keep the four-person Artemis II crew connected with Earth as they travel from low Earth orbit to a loop around the Moon and back. The mission will fly astronauts aboard the Orion spacecraft and Space Launch System rocket as part of the agency's broader effort to build a sustained human presence in deep space and eventually send crews

In its first instants, the universe formed a searing quark gluon plasma in which quarks and gluons moved at near light speed before cooling to build the protons and neutrons that dominate matter today. Physicists at CERNs Large Hadron Collider are recreating this primordial plasma by smashing together heavy ions at relativistic energies, briefly liberating quarks and gluons so they can pro

As from a rare kind of stellar explosion known as a Type Ibn supernova, giving them an unusually detailed look at the final decade in the life of a massive star before it died. The observations capture how the star shed large amounts of helium-rich gas shortly before it exploded, providing a record of its late-stage evolution. The research team used the National Science Foundation's Very L
