Physicists tighten the net on elusive dark matter
Tuesday, 07 October 2025 07:55
Determining the nature of dark matter, the invisible substance that makes up most of the mass in our universe, is one of the greatest puzzles in physics. New results from the world's most sensitive dark matter detector, LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ), have narrowed down the possibilities for one of the leading dark matter candidates: weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs).

Large Space Simulator gets a digital twin
Monday, 06 October 2025 13:13
The Large Space Simulator, Europe’s largest vacuum chamber, routinely reproduces space conditions on Earth to test spacecraft before they fly into orbit. The facility is complex, and the current process of training a new operator is lengthy and complicated. To make it easier, the space simulator now has a digital twin – the most realistic virtual model of the facility yet, developed for the European Space Agency (ESA) by the Spanish engineering company Empresarios Agrupados.

Navigating through interference at Jammertest
Monday, 06 October 2025 10:11
Satellite navigation is essential to everything from tracking your morning jog to landing air ambulances. But as reliance on satellite navigation grows, so do the risks associated with its interruption, natural or intentional. In its pursuit of strengthening European resilience in navigation, the European Space Agency (ESA) took part in Jammertest.

Mapping the universe made faster with new computational tool
Monday, 06 October 2025 07:14
As cosmology data sets grow larger and increasingly complex, a new tool allows researchers to run advanced analyses with only a laptop in a fraction of the time once required.
Dr. Marco Bonici, a postdoctoral fellow at the Waterloo Centre for Astrophysics, led an international collaboration that developed Effort.jl, an emulator designed to streamline studies using the Effective Field Theor ESA unveils Pulse framework to streamline mission management
Monday, 06 October 2025 07:14
The European Space Agency has launched Pulse, a new initiative designed to transform mission monitoring and control across its expanding portfolio of space operations. Developed under ESA's Operations Directorate, Pulse provides a European, royalty-free, multi-mission solution that spans from spacecraft assembly and integration through to operations in low Earth orbit and deep space.
Pulse Simulations of Exoplanet Formation May Help Inform Search for Extraterrestrial Life
Monday, 06 October 2025 07:14
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 The first animals on Earth may have been sea sponges, study suggests
Monday, 06 October 2025 07:14
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 China's Tianwen 2 probe marks halfway milestone en route to asteroid target

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.
