Phys.org / Image: NASA's Psyche mission captures Mars' Huygens Crater
Captured by the multispectral imager instrument on NASA's Psyche mission, this is an enhanced-color view of the large double-ring crater Huygens (upper right; about 290 miles, or 470 kilometers, in diameter) and the surrounding ...
Phys.org / A SpaceX rocket will soon hit the moon, raising concerns about handing over space launches to private companies
SpaceX seems to have mistaken shooting for the moon with shooting at the moon. Forecast to occur on Aug. 5, a five-story-long piece of a rocket from one of the private space exploration company's recent lunar missions is ...
Phys.org / Could future Mars settlers print their own tools?
If humans one day settle Mars, they will need tools and parts to build structures on the planet. Carrying heavy, bulky supplies 34 million miles from Earth would be impractical. A better plan, says Zane Mebruer, a recent ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers identify new drug targets for hard-to-treat cancers
Despite impressive innovations in medicine, most advanced-stage cancers still carry a grim prognosis. Developing more effective treatments requires a deeper understanding of the cellular processes that drive the formation ...
Medical Xpress / Harnessing brain imaging to shift the mental health paradigm
Stanford Medicine professor Leanne Williams talks about her work leveraging a data-driven approach to enhance the diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric conditions.
Phys.org / Image: NASA's Psyche mission images the crescent of Mars
This view of a crescent Mars was captured on May 15, 2026, at about 5:03 a.m. PDT by NASA's Psyche mission as it approached the planet for a gravity assist. Captured by the spacecraft's multispectral imager instrument, this ...
Medical Xpress / School recess is a health necessity, not a reward, says psychologist
Cutting recess doesn't just shortchange kids on playtime. A Syracuse University researcher says it can have real consequences for their health and development.
Phys.org / An explanation for the massive black holes the JWST found in the early universe
One of the most puzzling findings from the JWST's observations of the early universe is the size of black holes. According to our understanding of black hole growth, these early black holes are far more massive than expected. ...
Tech Xplore / Before carbon capture can clean atmosphere at scale, one bottleneck may decide whether it succeeds
In 2024, global average temperatures exceeded 1.5o C above pre-industrial levels for the first time. This threshold was set as an aspirational limit by the 2015 Paris Agreement and was considered a line beyond which the impacts ...
Medical Xpress / Ozone pollution limits lung benefits of exercise in children, study finds
Vigorous physical activity promotes lung growth in children, but these benefits are reduced by ozone pollution, according to new research presented at the ATS 2026 International Conference. The findings suggest that the health ...
Phys.org / Image: NASA's Psyche mission spies Mars' wind-blown craters during close approach
This view of the Martian surface, captured by NASA's Psyche spacecraft on May 15, 2026, shows streaks that have formed due to wind blowing over impact craters in the Syrtis Major region. The image scale is nearly 1,200 feet ...
Phys.org / Naturally occurring soil fungi could boost rice yields while reducing reliance on synthetic fertilizers
Field trials in India show that bio-fertilizers containing naturally occurring soil fungi enhance growth in rice plants. This may offer a pathway to reducing farmers' reliance on synthetic fertilizers, and reducing greenhouse ...
