In a new analysis, physicists provide the most precise picture yet of how neutrinos change 'flavor' as they travel through the cosmos. Neutrinos are fundamental particles of the universe, but also some of the most elusive; They pass through everything and can be extremely difficult to detect. While many of their properties are mysterious, scientists know neutrinos come in three types: ele

Researchers in China have unveiled a previously unknown pattern in solar radio emissions, observed during a major flare on May 8, 2024. The discovery comes from observations made using the Chashan Broadband Solar Radio Spectrometer (CBSm), which records solar signals between 90 and 600 MHz. Scientists identified a series of bright, narrow bands drifting slowly down in frequency, each less than 1

A novel imaging technique used for the first time on a ground-based telescope has helped a UCLA-led team of astronomers to achieve the sharpest-ever measurement of a star's surrounding disk, revealing previously unseen structure. The breakthrough opens a new way for astronomers to study fine details of a wide variety of astronomical objects and opens the door to new discoveries about the univers

altech researchers co-lead new study refining what we know about the ghostly particles Very early on in our universe, when it was a seething hot cauldron of energy, particles made of matter and antimatter bubbled into existence in equal proportions. For example, negatively charged electrons were created in the same numbers as their antimatter siblings, positively charged positrons. When t

When people imagine space missions, they usually think of dramatic rocket launches, astronauts in orbit, or deep-space probes traveling through the cosmos. Yet behind every mission lies an equally vital, if less visible, foundation built on documentation, traceability, and administrative precision.

MetOp-SG's IASI-NG returns first data

Traditional mining expertise plus space startup innovation will equal the winning formula for lunar resource extraction.

SpaceX Chief Executive Elon Musk hurled insults at NASA’s acting administrator a day after complaints that the company was behind schedule on its Artemis lunar lander.

The congestion and pollution of Earth orbit is quickly getting worse. We need to be able to quantify how our behaviour impacts the orbital environment in the future. To this end, the European Space Agency (ESA) is adding a new health index to its yearly Space Environment Report that summarises in one number the status of our space environment over time.
