A US military space-plane, the X-37B orbital test vehicle, is due to embark on its eighth flight into space on August 21, 2025. Much of what the X-37B does in space is secret. But it serves partly as a platform for cutting-edge experiments. One of these experiments is a potential alternative to GPS that makes use of quantum science as …

Cutting out one category of food could nearly double weight-loss results, a new study has found. Published in Nature Medicine on August 4, the study found that overweight adults who eliminated ultra-processed foods (UPFs) from their diets lost nearly twice as much weight over a two-month period compared to those who didn’t. Examples of UPFs include packaged cookies, ham, sodas, …

A recent study from the University of Nottingham has unveiled groundbreaking research into fuel-free spacecraft propulsion systems, providing hope for more sustainable space exploration. The study, titled “Modeling and Numerical Optimization of Refractive Surface Patterns for Transmissive Solar Sails,” published in Acta Astronautica, explores a cutting-edge approach to spacecraft propulsion that doesn’t rely on traditional fuel-based methods. By harnessing sunlight …

Space might seem like an empty, featureless void, but new research has shown that this is far from true. Scientists have discovered an ‘interstellar tunnel’ that connects our solar system to distant stars. In a new study, scientists at the Max Planck Institute identified two hot tunnels, stretching across vast regions of space. The researchers gathered thousands of measurements of …

Eight Pacific sleeper sharks showed up for dinner when researchers dropped a cow carcass to the seafloor of the South China Sea at 5,344 feet (1,629 meters) near Hainan Island. The visit offered a rare observation of how these deep residents feed, wait, and make room for one another. The species is hard to study because it ranges …
