A team at the University of Innsbruck has shed light on the behavior of supersolids, a phase of matter that combines crystalline rigidity with frictionless fluidity. Using magnetic fields to rotate a supersolid quantum gas, researchers discovered that quantum droplets arranged in a crystalline structure began to move in periodic order, surrounded by a superfluid. The experiment found that when a

The crew for China's next manned flight to the Tiangong space station will include the country's youngest ever astronaut to undertake a space mission, authorities said Thursday, as well as four lab mice. The Shenzhou-21 mission is set to blast off at 11:44 pm on Friday (1544 GMT) from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China, said China Manned Space Agency (CMSA) spokesperson Z

To someday allow scientists to stay underwater conducting research for days on end, the UK-based company DEEP has designed Vanguard, a "subsea human habitat." The company unveiled its prototype Wednesday at a hangar in Miami, Florida, hoping that oceanographers and other researchers can use it to stay underwater in the ocean for at least a week, instead of only a few hours like most expediti

ESA will launch the Henon CubeSat on a mission scheduled for late 2026, utilizing the launch capacity of a larger spacecraft. The CubeSat will be transported to the Sun-Earth Lagrange point 2, about 1.5 million kilometers from Earth on the Sun's far side. After arrival, the CubeSat will use an electric propulsion system to achieve a Distant Retrograde Orbit (DRO) around the Sun, an ellipti

The European Space Agency's upcoming Henon mission will be the first ever CubeSat to independently venture into deep space, communicate with Earth and manoeuvre to its final destination without relying on a bigger spacecraft. Once in its orbit around the Sun, the carry-on luggage-sized CubeSat will observe the Sun's emissions to demonstrate technologies capable of providing advanced warnings of

Researchers at the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics (CITA) and their collaborators have used advanced calculations and simulations to unravel the periodic flashes observed in the galaxy OJ 287, located 3.5 billion light years from Earth. OJ 287 displays light bursts equivalent to one trillion suns approximately every 12 years. Astronomers now attribute these phenomena to a b

An international team spanning three continents, led by Dr. Petr Cigler at IOCB Prague, has demonstrated a method to create quantum centers in nanodiamonds in minutes, rather than weeks. Their Pressure and Temperature Qubits process produces industrial quantities of light-emitting quantum nanodiamonds, with enhanced optical and quantum characteristics, in a single week, compared to conventional

A new study led by Rachael D. Seidler, director of the University of Florida's Astraeus Space Institute, examined how factors such as sex, age, and body metrics relate to brain and eye changes in astronauts after space travel. The research, published in npj Microgravity, is among the first to detail sex-related physiological responses to spaceflight. Data showed that female astronauts exhibited
