Bolted to the exterior of the International Space Station, a few hundred moss capsules spent nine months staring straight into the void. There were just thin plant walls separating tiny spores from an ...

There may be an infinite amount of energy locked in the vacuum of space-time. So could we ever harness this energy for anything useful? The idea of vacuum energy comes from quantum field theory, which ...

Eventually, the vacuum of space will decay, and things will fall apart—in a zillion years. Our universe is glued together by quantum fields, like the Higgs, which set much of our physics. Revising ...

This firm’s one of the few in the world working on the tech behind ultra-low Earth satellitesImagine trying to build an ion ...

Update: SpaceX has postponed the Polaris Dawn launch target time 24 hours — to 3:38 a.m. Wednesday — while crews work on a groundside helium leak. Or as mission commander Jared Isaacman described it, ...

Roborock is a pioneer and global leader in smart home robotics and has unveiled in April some new flagship products – the S8 Max Series. These cutting-edge robotic vacuum cleaners represent the ...

Vacuum decay, a process that could end the universe as we know it, may happen 10,000 times sooner than expected. Fortunately, it still won’t happen for a very, very long time. When physicists speak of ...

Space has a trash problem, with defunct satellites, rockets, and smaller broken bits orbiting Earth at high speeds. The amount of space junk is only increasing, raising the risk of collision with ...

Moss spores survived an extended stay on the outside of the ISS and remained capable of germinating once back on Earth. Their resilience to vacuum, extreme temperatures, and UV radiation surprised the ...
