Space missions face a big problem: their computers are slow and outdated. Most current chips, like the RAD750, rely on old technology that struggles with modern tasks. That’s where a new NASA-Microchip project comes in. They’ve created a small but powerful processor called HPSC, designed to handle t
Climate shifts are reshaping the ocean, and Brazil’s coast faces big changes. The rough-toothed dolphin, a top ocean hunter, depends on specific waters to survive. But as temperatures rise and ocean chemistry shifts, these dolphins may struggle to find safe places to live. The same goes for their fo
SpaceX is gearing up for a big launch from Kennedy Space Center, where the powerful Falcon Heavy rocket will carry the newest ViaSat-3F 3 satellite into a geosynchronous transfer orbit. The launch window opens at 10:13 a. m. on Wednesday, April 29, and the company has until 11:38 a. m. to push it of
Deepfake videos aren’t just a problem for tech experts and social media scientists anymore. They’re now a real headache for famous faces who see their faces turned into bots, scams, and fake ads. YouTube just rolled out a new system that lets actors, singers, and other public figures fight back. Ins
Spacecraft returning to Earth need a soft landing, and water has been the go-to choice for decades. The idea isn’t just about avoiding a hard crash—it’s also about control. When a capsule hits water at the right speed, the ocean acts like a giant cushion, spreading out the shock. But getting to that
Space travel isn’t just about rockets and moon landings—it’s also a giant science experiment. NASA’s Artemis II mission sent four astronauts on a test flight around the Moon, but hidden among them were four tiny lab tools no bigger than USB drives. These aren’t ordinary gadgets; they’re organ chips
Deep in Antarctica’s icy waters, a quiet but fierce battle is playing out. The star of this show is krill, tiny shrimp-like animals that feed whales and store carbon—making them key players in ocean health. But they’re also big business. Factories turn krill into supplements, fish food, and other pr
Deep Ellum in Dallas has faced growing concerns about late-night safety after a noticeable uptick in violent incidents last year. Local business groups, including the Deep Ellum Foundation, spent months putting together a new safety plan to address these issues. The district, known for its mix of da
Deep learning can read the breath and heart data that people use to find their exercise limits. In a test called a cardiopulmonary exercise test, doctors look at how the body uses oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. They mark two key points: one where lactate starts to build up, and another wh
Climate change is worsening mental health problems worldwide. Researchers wanted to see if nature‑based activities could help people feel better when the planet warms. They gathered every study that looked at green spaces, gardening, or outdoor therapy and checked how many people benefited.
