Europe just took a major step toward revolutionizing GPS technology by launching its first navigation satellites in low Earth orbit. The Celeste mission could make location services faster, more accurate, and more reliable for everyone.
A defense tech company is successfully testing breakthrough navigation software that helps drones fly accurately even when GPS signals are blocked. The technology is proving itself in Ukraine's challenging electronic warfare conditions.
Scientists discovered a species of bull ant that uses the moon to navigate in complete darkness, compensating for its movement across the sky like ancient sailors used the North Star. The finding reveals nature has even more clever navigation tricks than we realized.
A groundbreaking partnership between Brain Corp and UC San Diego is helping robots better understand their surroundings, making autonomous systems safer and more reliable in real-world commercial spaces. The collaboration could transform how 50,000 deployed robots worldwide navigate complex environments.
Scientists taught a small drone to navigate like a honeybee, using a neural network 150,000 times smaller than typical robot navigation systems. The breakthrough could help tiny robots explore disaster zones, deliver medicine, and perform tasks that larger drones can't.
Scientists studying an interstellar comet passing through our solar system discovered it contains 30 times more heavy water than any comet from around our sun. The finding suggests our home solar system formed in unusually warm conditions compared to other star systems.
Scientists discovered that pigeons use iron-rich immune cells in their livers to navigate home across hundreds of miles, even when clouds hide the sun. This breakthrough solves a century-old mystery about how these remarkable birds find their way.
Tana Toll survived breast cancer and now works as an oncology nurse navigator at Mercy San Juan Medical Center, helping newly diagnosed patients find their voice and navigate treatment. On World Cancer Day, she's sharing why speaking up and asking questions can change everything.
Scientists have discovered only the second infant solar system ever confirmed, giving us a rare window into how planets are born. The finding could help solve the mystery of how our own solar system came to be.
Scientists want to put ultrastable lasers inside the moon's coldest craters to create a GPS-like navigation system for future astronauts. The permanently shadowed craters near the south pole offer the perfect natural conditions for precision laser technology.
Pigeons navigate using magnetic-sensing immune cells in their livers, not their brains or eyes. This breakthrough solves a decades-old puzzle about how birds find their way home across hundreds of miles.
Surgeons can now track spinal movement in real time during surgery thanks to a newly cleared robotic system that combines planning, navigation, and execution in one platform. The technology aims to make complex spine procedures more precise and predictable for millions of patients.
German researchers discovered that pigeons use iron-rich immune cells in their livers to sense Earth's magnetic field, finally solving a decades-old puzzle about how birds navigate thousands of miles with pinpoint accuracy.
A Washington startup just secured $6 million to perfect navigation software that guides spacecraft using pictures of planets and stars instead of GPS. The technology could help spacecraft find their way home even when satellites can't reach them.
Scientists discovered magnetic fossils from an ancient marine creature that may have been one of the first animals to navigate using Earth's magnetic field. The 97-million-year-old find hints at evolutionary secrets we've never seen before.
Scientists discovered that African dung beetles use the glow of the Milky Way to navigate in straight lines across dark deserts. This tiny insect has been using our galaxy as a compass for millions of years.
Scientists discovered that pigeons navigate using iron-rich liver cells that sense Earth's magnetic field when the sun disappears behind clouds. This breakthrough reveals the immune system plays an unexpected role in how animals find their way home.
Beth Israel Lahey Health turned its finances around with a bold bet on primary care doctors. The Massachusetts hospital system recruited dozens of physicians and struck new partnerships while competitors struggled.
Researchers have cracked the code on how adorable snowman-shaped objects form in the outer solar system. The discovery reveals a gentle cosmic dance that's been happening for billions of years.
