Department of Energy and NASA join forces on innovative lunar experiment
Washington DC (SPX) Mar 08, 2023
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) are working together to develop a science instrument that will survive the harsh and unforgiving environment of the nighttime lunar surface on the far side of the Moon to attempt first-of-its-kind measurements of the so-called Dark Ages of the Universe.
The instrument is named the Lunar Surface

Quantum detector achieves world-leading milestone
Pasadena CA (JPL) Mar 06, 2023
Quantum computers hold the promise of operating millions of times faster than conventional computers. But to communicate over long distances, quantum computers will need a dedicated quantum communications network.
To help form such a network, a device has been developed by scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Caltech that can count huge numbers of single photons - quantum par

Layering history shows how water and carbon dioxide have moved across Mars
Tucson AZ (SPX) Mar 08, 2023
Mars' south polar layered deposits of H2O and CO2 ice record its climate history. A new study links the long-term global movement of Mars' water from midlatitude to pole to a function of the planet's orbital configuration with H2O ice deposition decreasing as a factor of obliquity, or spin-axis tilt.
"No deposit yet analyzed provides a global water cycle record that can be tied to a specif

Heart tissue heads to space to aid research on aging and impact of long spaceflights
Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers are collaborating with NASA to send human heart "tissue-on-a-chip" specimens into space as early as March. The project is designed to monitor the tissue for changes in heart muscle cells' mitochondria (their power supply) and ability to contract in low-gravity conditions.
The tissue samples will be launched into space aboard SpaceX CRS-27, a resupply mission to the International Space Station, slated for liftoff no earlier than Tuesday, March 14, at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Astronauts on board during the mission will also introduce three FDA-approved medicines to the samples in efforts to prevent heart cell changes known or suspected to occur in those undertaking long-duration spaceflights.
