In 2023, a subatomic particle called a neutrino crashed into Earth with such a high amount of energy that it should have been impossible. In fact, there are no known sources anywhere in the universe capable of producing such energy - 100,000 times more than the highest-energy particle ever produced by the Large Hadron Collider, the world's most powerful particle accelerator. However, a team of p

When satellites fall back to Earth, most of their structure burns up in the atmosphere, but engineers still lack detailed data on how real spacecraft actually break apart during reentry and which components survive the plunge. To close this gap, the European Space Agency has retargeted the final orbits of its remaining two Cluster satellites so that both can be observed from an aircraft during t

Muon Space is entering a new phase of operational scale as it moves from discrete missions to sustained, multi-mission satellite constellation deployment for government and commercial customers. The Mountain View based company reports that its growing mission portfolio, expanding launch manifest and increasing demand for end-to-end, mission-optimized systems are driving this transition. In

As commercial spaceflight moves closer to routine operations and missions extend in duration, a new expert report argues that reproductive health in space has shifted from a theoretical concern to an urgently practical issue. The authors warn that space is an environment fundamentally hostile to human biology, yet human activity beyond Earth is rapidly expanding without matching standards for ma

A research team at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) has demonstrated a secure holographic platform that encodes and reveals information using only the wavelength of light and the spacing between stacked metasurface layers. The approach targets the growing limitations of conventional digital security by shifting the encryption key from electronic code to the physical properti

Governments, industry representatives and international organizations from over 70 countries have agreed on new guidance to strengthen the resilience of submarine telecommunications cables at the International Submarine Cable Resilience Summit 2026 in Porto, Portugal. The event focused on protecting the subsea infrastructure that underpins global digital communications and economic activity.
