Researchers are developing a lunar distress system based on Earth’s COSPAS-SARSAT rescue tech to aid Artemis astronauts. Using a satellite network, it will transmit emergency alerts and track locations in remote areas like the Moon's south pole, enhan
A proposed array of 200 small telescopes could detect Planet Nine by observing stellar occultations. Spaced across 1,000 km, they’d map Trans-Neptunian Objects and potentially confirm a planet or primordial black hole in the solar system’s outer reac
Researchers found that unmelted planetesimals delivered crucial volatiles, like zinc, to early Earth, contributing to water's presence. This discovery aids the understanding of how water formed here and may also guide future studies on other planets' p
A new screw-driven robot prototype can autonomously navigate and mine rocky planets like Mars using Archimedean screws, ideal for challenging surfaces like sand and snow. Developed with EU support, it holds potential for extraterrestrial mining missions.
The brain of adult men is approximately 10% larger than that of women. Because men are typically taller and have more muscle mass than women, their brains require more neurons to control the body.
