Earth’s river deltas, home to about 5% of the global population and some of the world’s major cities, are experiencing subsidence, which exacerbates the risks from sea-level rise. The Copernicus Sentinel-1 mission has captured a decade's worth of data showing land sinking faster than previously thought.

In high frequency stock trading, the fastest systems typically capture the greatest advantage, putting a premium on shaving every possible fraction of a second from end to end latency. For years, the most advanced platforms have relied on FPGA based electronic processors to minimize delay, but these architectures are now running into hard limits set by clock speeds, data conversion overhead, and

Scientists say multiple Earth system components appear closer to destabilization than previously believed, putting the planet in increased danger of following a "hothouse" path driven by feedback loops that can amplify the consequences of global warming. Published in the journal One Earth, "The risk of a hothouse Earth trajectory" is an analysis by an international collaboration led by Ore

Researchers at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) have developed a new way for an assistive robot to learn how to move its arms autonomously by combining observational learning with communication between its limbs. The approach lets the robot watch how people perform everyday tasks and then adapt those movements so its two arms can work together safely and efficiently in domestic settings s

NASA has set clear goals at Mars: search for evidence of ancient life, understand the planet's climate and geology, and prepare for human exploration. Those objectives depend on a robust link between spacecraft at Mars and mission teams on Earth, with every image and dataset traveling hundreds of millions of kilometers across interplanetary space. Rocket Lab positions its proposed Mars Telecommu
