A laboratory in Troitsk, Russia, may have just nudged humanity closer to interplanetary commuting. Scientists at Rosatom, the country’s state nuclear corporation, have revealed a working prototype of a plasma propulsion engine they claim could propel a spacecraft to Mars in roughly 30 to 60 days. The concept replaces fiery combustion with electromagnetically accelerated plasma, …

Unemployed Las Vegas residents are now selling their blood plasma to make money as the rip-off city’s jobs market tanks amid an ongoing tourism slump.   Isaiah Thompson and Shawn Herron, two friends from Sin City, are among those who have been struggling to make ends meet as Las Vegas faced a loss of 4,300 jobs in August compared to the …

Astronomers have captured the clearest image ever of the vast, powerful jet of matter erupting from the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy Messier 87 (M87). Astronomer Jan Röder from the Institute of Astrophysics in Andalusia led a team that used the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to image the jet of particles expelled from M87’s …

Andrea Cook was watching an intense aurora from her home in Clark, Wyoming, when she stepped inside to check a notification on an aurora-tracking app she downloaded onto her phone. When she stepped back outside at 12:14 a.m. Tuesday, she saw a brilliantly bright streak of light overhead. “It was like a searchlight coming out of the mountains, streaming overhead …

Researchers in South Korea have solved a long-standing mystery in plasma physics by experimentally demonstrating how tiny magnetic ripples can trigger large-scale structural changes within plasma. The phenomenon, known as multiscale coupling, was confirmed for the first time by a research team led by Hwang Yong-Seok, PhD, a professor at the Department of Nuclear Engineering at Seoul National University (SNY).  …

IN A NUTSHELL 🛰️ Researchers at Tohoku University reveal a revolutionary propulsion system to address the space debris problem. 💡 The system employs bidirectional plasma ejection to stabilize satellites while removing debris. 🔬 New technology can run on affordable argon, enhancing its practicality for widespread use. 🌌 This innovation aims to prevent the Kessler syndrome, ensuring the sustainability of space …

Population characteristics and phenotypes This study included 274,241 participants from the UKB with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) metabolic measures. Analysed participants had a median age of 58.0 (interquartile range, 50.0–63.0) years at the time of blood sample collection, of whom 54.0% (n = 147,994) were females, and 95.1% (n = 260,800) were of white ancestry (Supplementary Table 1). Until November 2023, participants had a …
