NASA has been forced to delay a critical fueling test for its Artemis 2 moon rocket due to unusually cold weather forecasted to hit the Space Coast this weekend. The wet dress rehearsal for the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket was expected to begin last night (Jan. 29). An initial call to stations for Artemis
Unconsciousness induced by the widely used drug propofol is marked by characteristic changes in electrical activity. Credit: Abed Zagout/Anadolu/Getty Scientists have identified a distinctive brain-wave pattern that marks the slide into unconsciousness during general anaesthesia. If the finding is confirmed, this pattern could help doctors to avoid sedating patients too deeply — or not deeply
Summary: A new preclinical study reveals that the hippocampus does more than just store memories; it actively reorganizes them to predict future rewards. By tracking brain activity over several weeks, researchers discovered that hippocampal neurons shift their activity to fire before a reward is reached, essentially building a predictive model of the world. These findings
Even as momentum builds toward sending humans to Mars in the next decade, several regions on the Red Planet remain off-limits to robotic exploration. The reason has nothing to do with distance or terrain. Instead, it reflects a long-standing international effort to prevent Earth microbes from contaminating potentially habitable zones. Known as special regions, these
A comet was caught falling apart on camera, using a powerful telescope in Hawaii. Comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) crumbled in high-resolution footage captured by the Gemini North telescope atop Mauna Kea in Hawaii. Glowing pieces of the comet are visible in the 8.1-meter diameter optical/infrared telescope, which is part of a twin pair of telescopes
Adam Full-Size Humanoid Robot Charleston Dance Version 2.0 – YouTube Watch On In a striking display of agility and grace, a humanoid robot named “Adam-U Ultra” has danced its way through a complex, highly energetic routine without faltering, slipping or missing a beat. In a new video released by the Chinese robotics firm PNDbotics, the
Scientists have discovered the largest organic molecule containing sulfur — a key ingredient for life — ever identified in interstellar space. The researchers call the discovery a “missing link” in scientists’ understanding of the cosmic origins of life’s chemistry. Sulfur is the 10th most abundant element in the universe and a critical component of amino
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — NASA has delayed astronauts’ upcoming trip to the moon because of near-freezing temperatures expected at the launch site. The first Artemis moonshot with a crew is now targeted for no earlier than Feb. 8, two days later than planned. NASA was all set to conduct a fueling test of the 322-foot

If asteroid 2024 YR4 does hit the Moon, it could produce a bright flash on the lunar surface that would be visible from Earth, and spray debris into our planet’s atmosphere. Such an impact may even produce meteors visible in our night sky, and generate an infrared glow visible hours after the event. Credit: SciePro
