Hybrid-Electric Airplane Idea May Reduce Aviation’s Air Pollution Trouble

The proposed layout might minimize nitrogen oxide exhausts by 95 percent, a brand-new study finds. At cruising altitude, planes launch a constant stream of nitrogen oxides into the environment, where the chemicals can stick around to create ozone and fine particulates. Nitrogen oxides, or NOx, are a significant source of air contamination and are connected...

Hypersonic Program Faces Uncertainty After Reaction Engines Folds

Reaction Engines aimed to build single-stage-to-orbit spaceplanesReaction EnginesView 1 Images Reaction Engines Shuts Down, Impacting Aerospace Innovation A significant player in aerospace innovation has shut its doors. Reaction Engines, which has been developing hypersonic engine technology since 1989, has entered administration, creating a significant impact on Britain's hypersonic weapons program and others. Alan Bond founded the company...

Space-Produced Drug Safely Returns to Earth

What does the journey back to Earth from space entail? Varda's space-manufactured medication has now experienced it firsthand.Image credit: giocalde/Shutterstock. Varda Space Industries, a company from California, did something amazing recently. They brought back samples of a medicine they made while in space. It wasn't easy. The capsule carrying the samples had some problems and was...

Revolutionary Supersonic Travel Unveiled Amidst Challenging Times

While the XB-1 prototype won't be known for its silence, it will rely on the tried-and-true GE J85-15 military engines, which date back to the 1950s for their reliability and ease of maintenance. However, the testing of this aircraft will take place in the open expanses of the California desert, where noise levels won't...

South Korea Unintentionally Hit its Own Base with a Missile While Warning the North

South Korea And US Hold Joint Live-fire Exercise The South Korea military mistakenly hit its own Air Force base during one joint exercise it was conducting with the United States (US). The occurrence did not result in any casualties, although it left a lot of civilians in the worried. Tensions between North and also South Korea...

A significant breakthrough has occurred with the successful use of an augmented reality contact lens by a human for the first time.

The latest prototype of Mojo Vision's AR contact lens. Credit: Mojo Vision A human has recently worn an AR contact lens for the first time, which has a pixel thickness approximately 30 times greater than that of a smartphone. A group of people interacted with a combination of real and virtual items three decades ago, using...

The Earth’s Turns Far Under Our Feet: A New Research Reveals the Inner Core Oscillates

Scientists have discovered evidence that the Earth’s inner core oscillates, contradicting previously held beliefs that it consistently rotates at a faster rate than the planet’s surface. A groundbreaking study by USC researchers challenges the previous model that the Earth's inner core rotates continuously faster than the planet's surface. According to their research, published in Science Advances,...

Members of the International Space Station were obliged to seek refuge in their spacecraft in the immediate aftermath of the test because the impact produced a cloud of space debris...

Watch: Atlas Robot Takes on Autonomous Tasks—with a Surprising Twist

Humanoid in figure, certainly inhuman in how Atlas can twist, contort, and walkBoston Dynamics Atlas employs a machine learning (ML) vision model to perceive and map its surroundings, executing all movements autonomously without pre-set or remote-controlled actions. The robot can identify and adapt to environmental changes, such as shifting fixtures, and respond to action failures—like...
