As space travel evolves from governmental projects to commercial enterprises, the safety of astronauts and spacecraft becomes a top priority. But with increasing complexity comes a pressing need for advanced risk assessment models. Traditional calculations can fall short in predicting space travel risks, as conditions in space are exceptionally unpredictable. Enter Artificial Intelligence (AI),

When three massive objects encounter one another in space, their gravitational interactions are typically unpredictable and chaotic. However, a new discovery from a University of Copenhagen researcher suggests that these encounters can sometimes follow regular patterns, defying the conventional understanding of chaos. This finding could significantly enhance our knowledge of gravitational waves

Imagine a room filled with grandfather clocks, each ticking at a unique pace. Scientists at the University of Colorado Boulder and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have created an atomic-scale equivalent of that scene. Their work may lead to new types of optical atomic clocks, which track time by measuring the natural oscillations of atoms. The new quantum clock, b
