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

science-in-space

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

new-onboard-capability-to-enable-autonomous-spacecraft-operations

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

robotically-assembled-building-blocks-could-make-construction-more-efficient-and-sustainable

Robotically assembled building blocks could be a more environmentally friendly method for erecting large-scale structures than some existing construction techniques, according to a new study by MIT researchers. The team conducted a feasibility study to evaluate the efficiency of constructing a simple building using “voxels,” which are modular 3D subunitsContinue Reading
