Rice engineers develop resonant energy system for more efficient solar desalination
Los Angeles CA (SPX) May 15, 2025
Rice University researchers have introduced a novel desalination technology designed to enhance the efficiency and adaptability of solar-powered water purification. The new system, described in a study published in Nature Water, leverages a resonant energy transfer approach that overcomes the intermittency of sunlight, a common limitation in conventional solar desalination systems.

NASA X-59's Latest Testing Milestone: Simulating Flight from the Ground
Edwards AFB CA (SPX) May 19, 2025
NASA's X-59 quiet supersonic research aircraft successfully completed a critical series of tests in which the airplane was put through its paces for cruising high above the California desert - all without ever leaving the ground.
"The idea behind these tests is to command the airplane's subsystems and flight computer to function as if it is flying," said Yohan Lin, the X-59's lead avionics

Skynet 6A reaches integration milestone as Airbus prepares next-gen military satellite
London, UK (SPX) May 21, 2025
The UK's Skynet 6A military communications satellite has completed the integration of its communications and service modules, marking a key step toward deployment. Built by Airbus at its Stevenage and Portsmouth sites, the satellite achieved this milestone at the National Satellite Test Facility (NSTF) in Harwell, Oxfordshire, which is managed by RAL Space under the Science and Technology Facili

Second CubeSat added to ESAs Ramses mission for close study of Apophis
Paris, France (SPX) May 21, 2025
ESA is expanding its Ramses mission to asteroid Apophis with the addition of a second CubeSat, further enhancing scientific efforts to study the asteroid during its extremely close approach to Earth on April 13, 2029. Apophis, measuring 375 meters across, will pass Earth at a remarkably close distance, offering a rare opportunity for in-depth observation.

Ancient pollen reveals stories about Earth's history, from the asteroid strike that killed the dinosaurs to the Mayan collapse
Rolla MO (SPX) May 21, 2025
If you are sneezing this spring, you are not alone. Every year, plants release billions of pollen grains into the air, specks of male reproductive material that many of us notice only when we get watery eyes and runny noses.
However, pollen grains are far more than allergens - they are nature's time capsules, preserving clues about Earth's past environments for millions of years.

Membranes may have shaped the selection of life's building blocks
London UK (SPX) May 21, 2025
Scientists investigating the origin of life suggest that primitive membranes may have influenced which biomolecules became foundational to life. Their study examines how the earliest cell membranes could have filtered molecules, favoring those used in modern biology.
Cells are defined by their membranes, which regulate what substances can enter or leave. This control is especially relevant
