Space Launch System (SLS) NASA is developing the most powerful rocket in the agency’s history to return astronauts to the Moon and establish a sustainable lunar presence. The Space Launch System (SLS) will be the first exploration-class rocket since the Saturn V, the rocket used in the Apollo missions, andContinue Reading
Download PDF: Efficient Large Displacement/Large Rotation Dynamic Simulations Using Nonlinear Dynamic Substructures Utilizing reduced-order dynamic math models (DMM) in linear system-level dynamic analyses is a well-known practice that enables extreme computational efficiencies. But what about nonlinear system dynamics? Reduced-order DMMs have found their way into contact dynamics. The engineer mustContinue Reading
The old, reliable technology has experienced slow growth, but industry leaders see opportunities ahead. By Dan Gearino The International Energy Agency’s executive director has called hydropower a “forgotten giant,” and has urged governments to do more to remember it. U.S. President Traitor 47 has said hydropower is “fantastic,” a sharpContinue Reading
Governments are fighting to hold oil giants like Exxon Mobil accountable for their well-documented efforts to deceive the public about climate change.Continue Reading
State laws and product standards could make or break the nascent portable solar market. The post Why Western states are pushing for plug-in solar appeared first on High Country News.Continue Reading
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
