NOT the movies: In the future, humankind will hurl spacecraft into asteroids in “self-defense”
NASA is preparing for its very first planetary defense mission in a couple of years’ time. Its Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft will deliberately crash itself into a near-Earth asteroid. The purpose of the kamikaze is to determine whether or not spacecraft can change the direction of a much larger space rock. Planetary defense is the ability of […]

Scientists propose new engineering method that can improve how we build buildings and bridges
We know that pearlite is incredibly tough and stretchable, making it the go-to material for bridges and other structures that need to withstand massive amounts of stress. But Japanese researchers finally figured out the specific means through which this steel alloy achieved its amazing mechanical properties. Also called “pearlitic steel,” this type of steel is considered to be […]

The light stuff: Researchers can print 3D objects faster using light
3D printing is very versatile, but a printer takes time to raise all those layers of plastic filaments. A recently developed light-based additive technique promises to work 100 times faster when it comes to turning plastic additives into complex shapes and parts. Developed by the University of Michigan, the new technique will make it easier and […]

Researchers develop high-energy magnesium batteries that can store more energy
A recent breakthrough in magnesium-based energy storage technology promised to make the tried-and-tested design much more competitive with lithium-ion systems. The updated battery achieved its vast increase in storage capacity and energy discharge by using an organic electrode alongside chloride-free electrolytes. High-energy magnesium batteries derived from the new design can be used in all kinds of roles. They could be […]

Powerful lithium-air batteries may soon “take batteries to the next level,” reveals study
Chicago-based researchers have come up with a new way to improve the performance and safety of lithium-ion batteries. They are going to remove the ionic part of the battery and replace it with air. These so-called lithium-air batteries have not yet left the experimental phase of development. However, they are already being touted as the next logical step for lithium-based energy […]

New machine appears to defy the laws of physics by shattering the normal rules of light
What do you do when you want to break the laws of physics that define the movement and shape of light? Why, you build a ring-shaped device that forces pulses of light to orbit each other at very high speeds. As simple as it seems, this circular arrangement causes a light wave to lose its characteristic […]

Anxious aquatic life: Murky water found to affect fish growth and impair their health, warn researchers
As the waters of coastal areas grew more murky due to the rising amounts of sediments coming from inland, the fish living in those places became more nervous and timid. Australian researchers suspected that such drastic alterations in behavior would hamper the proper growth of the animals, thereby reducing a fish’s chances of surviving in the changing environment. […]

SETI launches new tool to help improve the search for extraterrestrial life
Researchers who are seeking out signs of alien life can now compare their findings with the results of earlier studies thanks to an online tool developed by the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute. The newly released research tool will allow people from around the world to contribute their evidence that we are not alone in this universe. […]

Sugar molecules exist in space, according to astronomers
NASA researchers may have found a sweet surprise in outer space. Apparently, the inhospitable environs of space can produce sugar molecules. Better yet, this sugar is not any of the common ones found in foods; instead, it is the complex molecule found in the DNA of living organisms. In a recent experiment, the researchers replicated the conditions found in outer space. Then they […]

New, exotic class of planets outside our solar system made out of GEMS
There are a lot of different types of planets in the universe. But the exoplanets recently identified by British and Swiss researchers are special because they contain large amounts of ruby and sapphire. This exotic class is made up of super-Earths, rocky planets that are bigger than our world. Formed in immense heat and found in close proximity to […]
