Scientists have grown chickpeas in simulated moon soil, offering a promising step toward farming on the lunar surface. Researchers mixed moon-like regolith with worm-produced compost and helpful fungi that protect plants from toxic metals. The combination allowed chickpeas to grow and produce a harvest in soil that normally cannot supportContinue Reading
The Cygnus XL cargo spacecraft, with its prominent cymbal-shaped UltraFlex solar arrays, departs the International Space Station after its release from the Canadarm2 robotic arm. NASA+ At 7:06 a.m. EDT, Northrop Grumman’s Cygnus XL was released from the Canadarm2 robotic arm, which earlier detached the cargo spacecraft from the Earth-facingContinue Reading
Northrop Grumman’s Cygnus XL cargo craft is pictured in the grips of the Canadarm2 robotic arm following its capture on Sept. 18, 2025. Cygnus XL is Northrop Grumman’s expanded version of its previous Cygnus cargo craft increasing its payload capacity and pressurized cargo volume. NASA Live coverage of the departureContinue Reading
As Brent crude approaches $100 a barrel, clean energy advocates say the Hormuz crisis is the latest proof that fossil fuel dependence leaves consumers at the mercy of distant wars. By Aman Azhar The war between the United States, Israel and Iran has triggered the largest disruption to global oilContinue Reading

Did you know the “recycling” symbol doesn’t mean something is actually recyclable? Play our trashy garbage-sorting game, then read about why this is so tricky.Continue Reading
As deep-sea waters warm, scientists expected trouble for the microbes that help keep ocean chemistry in balance. Instead, researchers found that Nitrosopumilus maritimus can adapt to warmer, iron-limited conditions by using iron more efficiently. Because these microbes control key nitrogen reactions that support marine life, their adaptability could help sustainContinue Reading
Single-aisle Turboelectric Aircraft with Aft Boundary-Layer Propulsion A key priority for NASA Aeronautics is investing in electrified aircraft propulsion (EAP) technologies for their potential to reduce fuel consumption, emissions, and noise for commercial airplanes. Achieving these benefits could be a key step towards environmental sustainability for the entire aviation industry.Continue Reading
PEGASUS In the last decade, airlines have shifted their focus from capturing market share to consolidating operations along the most profitable routes. Airlines have also increased the average load factor of flights and have shifted from under-50 seat regional aircraft toward 70-90 seat aircraft, which tend to have superior operatingContinue Reading
X-57 Maxwell NASA’s X-57 Maxwell was an all-electric experimental aircraft designed to demonstrate multiple cutting-edge technologies. The goal of the X-57 was to demonstrate that an all-electric airplane can be more efficient, quieter, and more environmentally friendly than airplanes powered by traditional gas piston-engines. The X-57 sought to demonstrate theContinue Reading
