NASA analysts and engineers have been closely tracking the agency’s sinking Neil Gehrel’s Swift Observatory as part of a fast-paced plan to raise it to a higher orbit. Teams have been generating models to forecast the spacecraft’s altitude in the coming weeks and months, as Katalyst Space readies its LINKContinue Reading

As global energy markets remain volatile and the price of oil high due to instability and conflict in the Middle East, more countries are looking at investing in renewables to shield their economies from the shocks caused by fossil fuel reliance, rein in import bills – and meet key climateContinue Reading
The ongoing insecurity in the Middle East, where a large proportion of the world’s oil and gas is extracted, is forcing many countries to focus on how they can ensure access to cheap and reliable energy supplies primarily through the use of renewable power sources.Continue Reading
Scientists have created a global “treasure map” for rare earth elements by uncovering where the strange volcanic rocks that contain them are most likely to form. By combining thousands of rock samples with seismic images of Earth’s deep interior, the team discovered that these metal-rich rocks tend to appear alongContinue Reading

Deep inside 100-million-year-old amber from Myanmar, scientists uncovered a bizarre ancient bug with clawed front legs that look more like a crab’s pincers than anything seen in modern insects. The discovery is so unusual that researchers say these crab-like “chelae” evolved independently in this lineage, making it only the fourthContinue Reading
Anaerobic digester loans showed “significant delinquency rates,” the U.S. Department of Agriculture said, while environmental groups see the technology driving an expansion of large-scale animal farming operations. By Steven Rodas, Lisa Sorg The federal government’s pause on new loans for anaerobic digesters, the controversial method of converting animal manure fromContinue Reading
