Nanoporous polyurea-cross-linked Ca-alginate (X-Ca-alginate) aerogels were prepared by reacting an aliphatic or aromatic triisocyanate with the preformed biopolymer network post gelation and drying in ...

Northrop Grumman and NASA on June 26 conducted the first test of its Booster Obsolescence Life Extension solid rocket motor.

The S-72 wasn’t just another test aircraft—it was a radical leap into blended flight. A vertical takeoff jet with rotors that locked mid-air, this "X-Wing" project pushed tech beyond its ...

The F-18 HARV or High Alpha Research Vehicle was a NASA testbed used to study performance at high angles of attack or alpha. The aircraft flew from 1989 to 1996 in a 3 phased research program that ...

Lunar Vertex will be the first mission to carry out a comprehensive study of lunar magnetic anomaly and the associated swirl and mini-magnetosphere.

The NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is a national research facility that carries out cuttingedge earth science missions. JPL developed the first U.S. Earth-orbiting science spacecraft and is a ...
