Laser 'origami' could help astronauts build structures on the moon
Laser 'origami' could help astronauts build structures on the moon Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor University of Florida researchers are exploring how lasers could help astronauts build structures on the moon using materials already available there, including lunar soil transformed into glass. The work, led by Victoria M. Miller, Ph.D., an associate professor in the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering and researcher with the UF Astraeus Space Institute, recently...
How Artemis II livestreamed hi-def videos and images from the moon to Earth
How Artemis II livestreamed hi-def videos and images from the moon to Earth Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor This April, humanity had front-row seats to space as the Artemis II Orion spacecraft transmitted crystal-clear footage of its historic journey around the moon from more than 250,000 miles (about 402,000 kilometers) back to Earth at speeds on par with home internet connections. The livestreaming of high-definition video and high-resolution photos of the moon...
A trip to the United Arab Emirates' darkest spot reveals a rare view of the Milky Way
A trip to the United Arab Emirates' darkest spot reveals a rare view of the Milky Way Andrew Zinin Lead Editor The gleaming skyscrapers and bright lights of the United Arab Emirates draw the eyes of all who travel there, a sign of the Arabian Peninsula nation's rapid, oil-fueled development over the last decades into a major hub for commerce and tourism. But something has been lost over that period: a clear vision across nearly all of the country's inhabited lands of the stars in the night...

Kamo'oalewa asteroid's lunar origin challenged ahead of Tianwen-2 arrival
June 2, 2026 report Kamo'oalewa asteroid's lunar origin challenged ahead of Tianwen-2 arrival Paul Arnold Author Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor China's Tianwen-2 sample-return mission is well on its way to its target, an asteroid called Kamo'oalewa. The spacecraft left Earth in May 2025 and should return in late 2027 with samples of a space rock that scientists had assumed originated from the moon. However, a new study published in Nature Communications suggests...
Can solar sails really send humans out into interstellar space?
Can solar sails really send humans out into interstellar space? "I think these are not far-out type of ideas; they are not really futuristic ideas that we are talking about." If humankind ever travels to distant stars, we might sail there — and it might be sooner than you think.
'The Heaven Sword' crowned as East Asia's tallest tree after a nearly decade-long search
'The Heaven Sword' crowned as East Asia's tallest tree after a nearly decade-long search Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Taiwan, historically known as Formosa, holds a secret deep within its rugged interior: it is one of the rare locations on Earth capable of supporting "giant" trees—specimens that tower over 80 meters in height. Since 2014, a dedicated group, the "Taiwan tree seekers," has been on a mission to locate and document these sky-piercing giants. The...
Studying impact flashes to detect missile and meteorite composition
Studying impact flashes to detect missile and meteorite composition Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor Southwest Research Institute, or SwRI, is studying impact flashes generated by high-speed collisions. One application of understanding impact flashes is to remotely identify what materials are involved in the collisions. Advances in understanding optical impact flashes can be highly beneficial for missile defense, making it possible to determine the composition of an...
A prognostic human brain network for diffuse midline glioma
Abstract Diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs) are near-universally lethal tumours of the childhood central nervous system1,2. In animal models, DMGs form brain-wide integrated networks through neuron-to-glioma synapses3,4,5,6 and glioma-to-glioma gap junctional coupling3. This extensive connectivity robustly promotes the growth and invasion of DMG3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and other glial malignancies10,11,12 through paracrine mechanisms and direct neuron-to-glioma synapses.
