NASA will announce the four astronauts heading to the Moon on June 9, marking a giant leap toward humanity's return to the lunar surface. The mission follows April's successful Artemis II test flight and brings us closer to exploring Mars.
College students across America are designing and building robots that could help NASA construct the future on the Moon. Forty-seven teams just competed at Kennedy Space Center, testing their lunar construction bots on terrain that mimics the Moon's surface.
NASA will reveal the four astronauts heading to the Moon during a live event on June 9, marking the next giant leap in returning humans to lunar exploration. The Artemis III mission will test crucial technology needed to land people on the Moon's surface for the first time in over 50 years.
NASA just unveiled its roadmap to build humanity's first lunar base at the moon's south pole, starting with 25 robotic missions in the next three years. The ambitious plan trades complexity for speed, focusing resources directly on the lunar surface instead of orbital stations.
Scientists have discovered and named a tiny blue octopus that lives nearly 6,000 feet below the ocean's surface near the Galápagos Islands. The vibrant creature is so small it fits in your hand, and researchers used cutting-edge 3D imaging to study it without harming this rare specimen.
NASA just announced its roadmap for building a permanent human settlement on the Moon, with the first uncrewed missions launching by year's end. After last month's historic Artemis II deep-space flight, humanity's return to the lunar surface is closer than ever.
NASA just announced three lunar missions kicking off this year to prepare for astronauts returning to the Moon in 2028. These missions will test new technology, study the lunar surface, and pave the way for humanity's first permanent Moon base.
Scientists discovered a tiny blue octopus the size of a golf ball near the Galapagos Islands, marking the first new octopus species described by researcher Janet Voight in her 40-year career. The creature was found nearly 6,000 feet below the surface in waters that remain largely unexplored.
A small Illinois village just broke ground on a fiber internet project that will connect every resident and business to high-speed broadband. The partnership between Surf Internet and local leaders aims to level the playing field for remote workers, students, and entrepreneurs.
Scientists used neutron imaging to peek inside an ancient Antarctic fish skull and discovered features that help explain how life first moved from water to land. The find reveals how our distant ancestors began adapting to breathe air and survive near the surface.
Israel's tech industry rallied behind HaGal Sheli, a surf therapy organization treating war trauma victims. The Jerusalem benefit event will fund expanded programs using the ocean as a healing tool for hostages, survivors, and soldiers.
Scientists discovered a golf ball-sized blue octopus nearly a mile beneath the ocean's surface near the Galápagos Islands. The adorable creature is the first new species that renowned octopus expert Janet Voight has officially named in her 40-year career.
Researchers have created nature-inspired micro-drones that mimic dandelion seeds to explore Mars' massive lava tubes, which stretch over 746 miles and are eight times wider than Earth's volcanic caves. The innovative robots could unlock secrets hidden beneath the Red Planet's surface. ##
Scientists discovered an adorable new octopus species the size of a golf ball living nearly a mile below the ocean's surface near the Galápagos Islands. The tiny blue creature had researchers cooing over their cameras when they spotted it in 2015.
Japanese researchers just flipped an 80-year-old aviation rule on its head: rougher surfaces can actually reduce drag better than smooth ones. This breakthrough could revolutionize how we build planes, trains, and cars.
Israel's high-tech leaders gathered at Jerusalem's Tower of David to raise funds for HaGal Sheli, a nonprofit using surfing to help war trauma survivors heal. Since October 7, 2023, demand for mental health services has surged among hostages, attack survivors, and security forces.
Four hundred kilometers above Earth, the International Space Station glides through a cloud of invisible atomic oxygen that slowly eats spacecraft surfaces. Thanks to decades of materials testing and clever protective coatings, engineers have cracked the code on keeping the ISS and future satellites safe.
Two Israeli women dominated the iQFOiL European Championships, with Tamar Steinberg claiming gold and Shahar Tibi taking silver in a stunning display of athletic excellence. The victory marks a major milestone for Israel's world-class sailing program.
