Principal Investigator(s): Jason Williams, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory Overview: The Cold Atom Laboratory examines investigates quantum phenomena by cooling atoms to near absolute zero. Two hardware upgrades launched on NG-24 expand the laboratory’s capabilities on the International Space Station. The SM-3X module collects more atoms and provides greater flexibility for quantum experiments, while the HXM-1Continue Reading
NASA/Jessica Meir Astronauts Chris Williams of NASA and Sophie Adenot of the European Space Agency work together in the Kibo laboratory module’s Life Science Glovebox, processing genetic-material samples for the DNA Nano Therapeutics‑3 experiment. The investigation is exploring DNA‑inspired assembly techniques as a way to manufacture treatments—such as chemotherapy andContinue Reading
Figure 1. As a spacecraft orbiting Earth crosses the boundaries of different regions surrounding the planet, various events can occur (e.g., increased penetrating radiation). Detection of these events can trigger the autonomous execution of desired onboard activities without human intervention (e.g., disabling high voltage systems on the spacecraft to avoidContinue Reading

A bizarre, cyclops-like creature from nearly 600 million years ago may hold the key to how your eyes—and even your sleep cycle—evolved. Scientists have discovered that all vertebrates, including humans, trace their vision back to a single light-sensitive “median eye” perched atop a worm-like ancestor’s head. As this ancient animalContinue Reading
