The use of the obtained magnetic state of graphene can become the basis of a current method to electronics, increasing its energy efficiency and...
Alexandr Gnezdilov Light Painting/Moment/Getty The wonderful step taken by physicists Physicists have just taken an wonderful step regarding quantum devices that seems like something out of science fiction. For the first time, isolated sets of particles acting like unusual states of matter known as time crystals have been connected into a single, advancing system that could...

Regarding to a cover story in Chemical & Engineering Information, more commercial entities are broadening offerings in low-Earth orbit, which could eventually permit more characteristic...
The moon is shown during a full lunar eclipse, Sunday, May 15, 2022, near Moscow, Idaho, with the reddish color caused by it passing into the shadow of the Earth. A Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2022 total lunar eclipse will be visible throughout North America in the predawn hours -- the farther west, the better...
Credit: NASA, Jim Watson / Getty Images An asteroid notoriously erased the dinosaurs about 66 million years ago. Could one more one do the very same to us? That question has led NASA researchers and designers to create the DART program, whose duty was to redirect the motion of an asteroid. The mission was a...
his is an artist's impression of two neutron stars colliding. The smashup between two dense stellar remnants unleashes the energy of 1,000 standard stellar nova explosions. In the aftermath of the collision a blowtorch jet of radiation is ejected at nearly the speed of light. The jet is directed along a narrow beam confined...

NASA is preparing for its next Moon landing, and it is ordering new spacesuits for the journey. It has granted Axiom Space a $228.5 million contract to make a "moonwalking system" for the agency's return to the lunar surface. Axiom was among two firms in the running to make spacesuits for NASA's Artemis program, which...
Royal Caribbean Group The SpaceX internet service for boats was released last month. Cruise ship giant Royal Caribbean has announced that it will equip its fleet with SpaceX's Starlink broadband satellite internet service. The dishes are designed to provide a "better onboard experience for guests and crews fleetwide" and will be installed on its Royal Caribbean...
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has declined Starlink's application for $885 million in federal subsidies to provide satellite internet to broadband consumers in rural areas. The FCC points out the SpaceX-owned firm's $600 dish and states that Starlink "failed to demonstrate" that it "could deliver the promised service." The financing is part of a wider $9.2 billion...
