NASA astronaut Chris Williams jogs while strapped to the treadmill inside the International Space Station’s Tranquility module. The treadmill is specifically designed to enable jogging and maintain cardiovascular health in microgravity. NASA Health checks and CubeSat hardware maintenance were the prime research objectives aboard the International Space Station on Wednesday.Continue Reading
GRX-810 is a new metal alloy developed by NASA for 3D printing parts that can withstand the extreme temperatures of rocket engines, allowing affordable printing of high-heat parts. Credit: NASA Host Andres Almeida: In the aviation world, there’s a 3D-printed metal superalloy that can withstand extreme conditions, and another material that can actually “remember” its shape as temperatures change. NASA-ledContinue Reading

DNA from a 5,000-year-old French megalithic tomb reveals that the people buried before and after a population collapse were genetically unrelated, pointing to a major migration after a devastating crisis. The shift coincided with new social traditions and the disappearance of the communities that built Europe’s giant stone monuments., ReadContinue Reading
Plastic pollution is choking the ocean, but sustainable alternatives – including seaweed – remain held back by tariffs, fragmented regulations and the overwhelming market advantage enjoyed by fossil fuel-based plastics. Continue Reading
The United Nations climate chief called on Monday for countries to step up action to implement existing commitments, warning that fossil fuel dependency is deepening economic instability and exposing vulnerable communities to worsening climate impacts. Continue Reading
