Long-duration space missions will require closed-loop life support systems that can regenerate oxygen and purify water while recycling waste. A recent…

Jupiter is the biggest planet in our Solar System. It’s so big, in fact, that every other planet of the Solar System could fit inside Jupiter.
Jupiter is a gas giant, which means it’s mostly made of gases like hydrogen and helium surrounding a…

Researchers at Penn State University have unveiled a 4D printing method that produces “smart synthetic skin” capable of dynamically changing its shape, texture, and appearance in response to external stimuli. Unlike…

A mountain range in southwestern Haiti is an underappreciated cradle of plant diversity. A study in the Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society has found that the region spawned many unique plant species, and also, revealed the flight paths…

As humans spend increasing amounts of time in space, whether for work or tourism, scientists are calling for urgent research into the effect of spaceflight on human reproductive health in a new paper that argues questions around fertility and…

Human blood vessels are anything but simple. They bend, branch, narrow, and widen, creating complex pathways that affect how blood moves through the body. For a long time, however, laboratory models treated blood vessels as straight, uniform…

The performance and stability of smartphones and artificial intelligence (AI) services depend on how uniformly and precisely semiconductor…

In a set of playful experiments modeled after children’s tea parties, researchers at Johns Hopkins University have shown for the first time that apes can use imagination and take part in pretend play. This ability was long believed to belong only…
