Science and technology, explained simply
The private space company SpaceX continues to impress with its achievements in the space industry. Having already set a record for the frequency of launches in 2023, the company is not going to rest on its laurels and plans to raise the bar even further in 2024. SpaceX’s most recent impressive success occurred on March […]
Scientists will send rockets into the upper layers of the Earth’s atmosphere when part of our planet is plunged into complete darkness. On April 8, some parts of North America will be plunged into darkness as the Moon will completely cover the Sun during a total solar eclipse. NASA scientists are going to take full […]
The SpaceX team has launched another batch of its Starlink Internet satellites. A Falcon 9 rocket carrying 22 Starlink ships launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on April 2 at 02:30 Kyiv time. This was reported by Space. Bad weather disrupted two previous launch attempts. This time, the weather cooperated and the Falcon […]
Canadian researchers have created a unique scientific camera called SCARF (real-time coded aperture femtophotography) capable of capturing images at an astronomical coding rate of 156.3 terahertz (THz), which equals 156.3 trillion frames per second. This opens up new possibilities for studying ultrafast micro-events that pass too quickly to be captured by the most advanced scientific […]
The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is testing a snake-like drone that is planned to be sent to Saturn’s moon Enceladus in search of life. This was reported by TechCrunch. The snake robot Exobiology Extant Life Surveyor (EELS) is planned to be used to study the oceans under the lunar crust. This snake-like […]
China’s Queqiao-2 lunar reconnaissance satellite was successfully launched into orbit around the Moon, becoming an important element in preparing for a mission to collect samples from the far side of the Moon. Queqiao-2 was launched on March 8 from the Wenchang Cosmodrome, and on March 24, the spacecraft reached lunar orbit after a 112-hour journey […]
A team of scientists from the University of Amsterdam has presented a groundbreaking approach to HIV treatment that could change the lives of millions of people around the world. Their work is focused on using an advanced gene-editing technology known as CRISPR to not just contain but completely remove the human immunodeficiency virus from the […]
On the night of March 24-25, a partial lunar eclipse will occur, and less than three weeks later, on April 8, a total solar eclipse will occur when the Moon will cover our luminary. This was reported by iflscience. These astronomical events will be observed by thousands of people, but both eclipses will be best […]
SpaceX has launched its 30th cargo mission to the International Space Station (ISS) for NASA (March 21, 2024) to deliver 3 tons of supplies and scientific equipment to the orbiting laboratory. This was reported by Space. A Falcon 9 rocket carrying an unmanned Cargo Dragon spacecraft launched from Space Launch Complex-40 (SLC-40) at the Space […]
Neuralink, a company founded by Elon Musk, has made a breakthrough by successfully implanting a brain interface into a human. Since 2016, the team has been working on developing technologies that could change the lives of people with serious disabilities. In January of this year, they implanted the implant into a human brain for the […]
