The humble neutrino, an elusive subatomic particle that passes effortlessly through normal matter, plays an outsized role among the particles that comprise our universe. To fully explain how our universe came to be, we need to know its mass. But, like so many of us, it avoids being weighed.

Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), astronomers have detected the magnetic field of a galaxy so far away that its light has taken more than 11 billion years to reach us: we see it as it was when the Universe was just 2.5 billion years old. The result provides astronomers with vital clues about how the magnetic fields of galaxies like our own Milky Way came to be.

The safe landing of the probe is one of the most difficult challenges in Mars exploration, and the Mars supersonic parachute is extremely important for this process. To date, all the successful Mars exploration missions have used disk-gap-band (DGB) parachutes. However, the DGB parachute with the highest diameter of 21.35 m cannot be further used for future Mars exploration missions with higher

The Astronaut Center of China 90-d head-down bed rest: Overview, countermeasures, and effects
Thursday, 07 September 2023 19:26
When astronauts enter space, they are exposed to weightlessness. Physiological and psychological challenges are waiting ahead. They may have a puffy face and experience space motion sickness, cardiovascular deconditioning, muscle atrophy, and bone loss.
Moreover, long-term spaceflight has been shown to result in 83% of astronauts with post-flight orthostatic intolerance. For such problems, exercise countermeasures can be the primary approach to resolve these changes. Head-down bed rest (HDBR) simulates physiological effects in weightlessness and is widely used in countermeasure testing, and efficacy of exercise interventions has been widely studied in HDBR with different periods as well.
Usually, the long-term bed rest experiment is completed in stages, and a positive control of separated exercise countermeasures rarely tests at the same time in these experiments.
