A few words, said the right way, can help you run faster. Not next month or after a few training sessions, but immediately. A study with elite athletes in their teens found that simple, environment-focused word cues instantly improved sprint speed over a distance of at least 20 yards. The effect of using these word cues was an increase of …

REDMOND, Wash. — NASA’s Artemis campaign is a bold series of missions to take humans back to the moon… and those astronauts will get there thanks to help from rocket engines made right here in Washington! “If we didn’t make these engines, then there wouldn’t be any sort of orbital maneuvering system, there wouldn’t be a way for the crew …

IN A NUTSHELL 🔭 Researchers using the James Webb Space Telescope found a pattern in galaxy rotations, challenging previous beliefs. 🌀 Approximately 60% of the observed galaxies rotate clockwise, suggesting a possible cosmic order. 🌌 A bold hypothesis proposes that our universe might be inside a massive black hole, reshaping cosmic understanding. 🔍 Observational bias like the Doppler effect could …

Astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to uncover two groundbreaking findings: strong evidence of a potential Saturn-sized planet orbiting Alpha Centauri A, our closest Sun-like neighbor, and the discovery of a climate system on Pluto unlike anything else in our Solar System. The Alpha Centauri findings are detailed in two papers accepted by The Astrophysical Journal Letters, …

Self-lofting devices propelled by sunlight have been tested for the first time in near-vacuum conditions akin to those in Earth’s upper atmosphere, paving the way for a revolution in atmospheric science. The tiny, lightweight membranes — which are made of aluminum oxide and a layer of chromium — take advantage of a phenomenon known as photophoresis, which occurs when one …
