Lab-based research forms the foundation of modern scientific inquiry, but it often falls short in replicating real-world experiences. This limitation is particularly pronounced in fields like cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology, where environmental stressors significantly impact human thought and behavior.
To bridge this gap, a team led by Concordia University researchers ventured i

Paris, France (SPX) Nov 28, 2024
The SubOrbital Express-4 sounding rocket launched successfully from Sweden's Esrange Space Center near Kiruna at 06:00 CET yesterday, achieving a peak altitude of 256 kilometers. The mission provided approximately six minutes of microgravity for six onboard scientific experiments before returning to Earth.
Challenging weather conditions overnight added suspense to the highly anticipated la

Three Ways to Track Venusquakes, from Balloons to Satellites

Washington DC (SPX) Nov 28, 2024
Instruments aboard robotic landers have measured seismicity on the Moon and Mars, helping researchers learn about the inner workings of those celestial bodies. But the internal makeup of Venus is still not known, in part because high winds and blistering temperatures make it significantly more difficult to detect quakes on the second planet from the Sun.
Three approaches to studying quakes

Creating artificial eclipses to study the Sun | Proba-3 explained
Tuesday, 03 December 2024 15:15
Proba-3 is such an ambitious mission that it needs more than one single spacecraft to succeed. In order for Proba-3’s Coronagraph spacecraft to observe the Sun’s faint surrounding atmosphere, its disk-bearing Occulter spacecraft must block out the fiery solar disk. This means Proba-3’s Occulter ends up facing the Sun continuously, making it a valuable platform for science in its own right.
Proba-3 is scheduled for launch on a PSLV-XL rocket from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, India, on Wednesday, 4 December, at 11:38 CET (10:38 GMT, 16:08 local time).
