Shield or Spark? The U.S. Golden Dome and the New Missile Arms Race
Budapest, Hungary (SPX) Oct 06, 2025
The launch of the US 'Golden Dome' missile defence initiative has already set in motion ripple effects across the globe. Rival nations are considering their own layered missile defence architectures, and experts warn this may trigger a new era of competitive missile development. What began as a domestic shield is now fuelling a missile defence arms race, with competitors racing to counter, repli

TakeMe2Space and AICRAFT partner to deliver orbital data centre infrastructure
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Oct 01, 2025
AICRAFT of Australia and India's TakeMe2Space (TM2S) have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to integrate AICRAFT's edge computing systems into the TM2S satellite constellation from 2026. The collaboration will begin with a hosted payload mission in 2026, after which AICRAFT's high-performance, low-power edge devices will become a core part of TM2S' orbiting platform.

China's Tianwen 2 probe marks halfway milestone en route to asteroid target
Beijing (XNA) Oct 01, 2025
China's Tianwen 2 spacecraft has reached the halfway point of its journey to near-Earth asteroid 2016 HO3 after more than four months in interplanetary flight, according to the China National Space Administration (CNSA). The robotic probe has already traveled 43 million kilometers and remains in stable condition, with another 45 million kilometers left before arrival.

The first animals on Earth may have been sea sponges, study suggests
Boston MA (SPX) Sep 30, 2025
A team of MIT geochemists has unearthed new evidence in very old rocks suggesting that some of the first animals on Earth were likely ancestors of the modern sea sponge.
In a study appearing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the researchers report that they have identified "chemical fossils" that may have been left by ancient sponges in rocks that are more than 541 mi

Simulations of Exoplanet Formation May Help Inform Search for Extraterrestrial Life
Melbourne FL (SPX) Sep 25, 2025
Florida Tech astrophysicist Howard Chen is offering new insights to help aid NASA's search for life beyond Earth. His latest theoretical work investigates the TRAPPIST-1 planetary system, one of the most widely studied exoplanetary systems in the galaxy. It has captured scientists' attention for its potential to host water, and thus possibly life, on its planets. Now, he's offering an explanatio
