Astrobee is a free-flying robotic system developed by NASA that is made up of three distinct cube-shaped robots. This system was originally designed to help astronauts who are working at the International Space Station (ISS) ...
Researchers at the University of Liège (BE) have designed a high-performance, open-access continuous flow process to safely produce key antibacterial drugs from bio-based furfural. The results of the study—published in ...
At this moment, there are approximately 35,000 tracked human-generated objects in orbit around Earth. Of these, only about one-third are active payloads: science and communications satellites, research experiments, and other ...
After earning notoriety as the first cellular receptor isolated and mammalian lectin identified, the Ashwell-Morell receptor's functions in our bodies eluded scientists for more than 30 years.
Molding the flow of light—whether confined to localized regions or propagating in free space—remains crucial for modern integrated photonics. The advancement of the multi-channel, programmable optical waveguide and coupler ...
Researchers at Linköping University have developed a new type of pipette that can deliver ions to individual neurons without affecting the sensitive extracellular milieu. Controlling the concentration of different ions can ...
Engineers, technicians, mission planners, and the four astronauts set to fly around the moon next year on Artemis II, NASA's first crewed Artemis mission, are rapidly progressing toward launch.
Microelectromechanical system (MEMS) optical modulators are crucial in next-generation technologies such as free-space optical communication and LiDAR, but existing designs struggle with balancing aperture size, efficiency, ...
When a fruit fly is navigating straight forward at high speed, why does it know that it's not straying off course? Because as long as the fly moves directly forward, the visual scene shifts from front to back in a near-perfect ...
A research team has developed a highly stable and efficient water oxidation catalyst, marking a major advancement in the field of green hydrogen production via water splitting technology.
