Researchers led by the NYU Tandon School of Engineering have developed a fabrication technique that allows a wider range of superconducting materials to be used in quantum hardware. The advance could accelerate efforts to build more reliable and scalable quantum systems. The study, published in Applied Physics Letters and selected as a "Featured" article, addresses a major obstacle: many s

The global deep space economy could expand into a trillion-dollar market by 2040, with growth centered on energy, internet, tourism, and cultural creativity, according to insights shared at the third International Deep Space Exploration Conference in Anhui province, China. Shi Pingyan, chief engineer of China's Deep Space Exploration Lab, presented a report at a sub-forum in Hefei that ide

As part of an effort coordinated by the European Space Agency (ESA), Safran has released the first ultra-precise active hydrogen maser technology, entirely developed and designed in Europe.

This core sovereign capability has recently been deployed at one of ESA’s deep-space ground stations and is being tested under real, operational conditions.

EchoStar has abandoned its plans to create a direct-to-device satellite constellation in low Earth orbit, selling spectrum to SpaceX while canceling a brand-new contract with MDA Space.
