A multi-year field study of the deadly 2014 landslide that destroyed an entire community in Washington State is providing new insights into how such large-scale slides operate. A special team from the US Geological Survey did detailed measure… Continue reading Washington tragedy sheds light on landslide mechanics
NASA has chosen its next planetary mission, which will send a flying rover called Dragonfly to Saturn’s largest moon, Titan. The size of the Curiosity Mars rover, the unmanned, nuclear-powered explorer will not have wheels, but will fly throu… Continue reading NASA announces new mission to explore Titan with flying rover
A team of volcanologists at the University of Missouri turned fashion models recently as they showed off prototype lava suits that are designed as comfortable, hard-wearing field outfits for scientists bound for the slopes of Vesuvius and the… Continue reading Volcanologists model latest flame-resistant lava suit fashions
It’s winter in Antarctica, but a temporarily unoccupied British research station is still operating using a new autonomous system. Using new technology developed by British Antarctic Survey (BAS) engineers, the Halley Research Station is stil… Continue reading Automated Antarctic station works on through the winter darkness
Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner spacecraft has completed its fifth, final, and most dangerous parachute test. At an altitude of 40,000 ft (12,200 m), the boilerplate capsule was released from a balloon and dropped safely to the desert floor at the… Continue reading Boeing Starliner completes last and most difficult parachute test

A team of scientists from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s (LLNL) Forensic Science Center (FSC) and Michigan State University are developing a method to identify a person from a single hair taken from anywhere on the human body. Based… Continue reading Breakthrough forensic ID method can be applied to any strand of hair on the body
The first polarized light from a gamma ray burst seven billion light years away is helping astronomers to gain a better understanding of collapsing stars and other high-energy phenomena. Originating from gamma-ray burst GRB 190114C in the con… Continue reading First detection of polarized radio waves from gamma ray burst sheds light on collapsing stars
Scientists at Linköping University blur the line between robot and organism has they develop an artificial muscle that runs off of glucose and oxygen like its organic counterpart. Made of a special polymer, the new plastic muscles open the pr… Continue reading Artificial muscles run on glucose and oxygen, just like the real thing
NASA’s Mars 2020 rover is getting ready to roll, as engineers have installed its wheels at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California. On June 13th, the unmanned nuclear explorer received its port and starboard legs and wheels, that will allow it to roam the surface of the Red Planet as it seeks out signs of present or past life.
