A man from Spain who had been aboard a cruise ship later found to carry hantavirus has now tested positive for the disease, raising Spain’s total linked cases to 13. The patient was among 14 Spaniards who left the ship in Tenerife on May 10, after authorities first spotted a cluster of infections ea
Scientists are testing if humans can reproduce safely beyond Earth. China recently sent artificial human embryos to its space station to study how microgravity affects early development. The goal isn't to create space babies yet—but to understand the risks first. The experiment used two types of la
SpaceX’s upcoming stock market debut is drawing major attention, with whispers of a $1. 75 trillion valuation making headlines. But history shows that eye-popping numbers don’t always translate to wins for investors. A recent review of the 50 biggest stock launches over the past five years found tha

The decision means a 17% cut in the programs that support research at Colorado’s universiti
A week in science brought a mix of bold claims and careful rethinking. A company working on reviving extinct species announced it successfully hatched chicken chicks using lab-made eggshells, a small step toward their bigger goals. Meanwhile, scientists launched a space mission to study Earth’s magn
Science communicators often describe their jobs as constant learning. They translate complex research into words everyone can grasp. But what happens when the research itself feels like another language? That’s the daily reality for those breaking down cutting-edge science. Take plasma physics. Exp
China is gearing up for a major space mission this weekend, sending three astronauts to its Tiangong space station for a year-long stay. This isn’t just a routine trip—it’s a test of human endurance in space, with one crew member staying far longer than China has ever attempted before. The mission a
