UCL researchers have discovered the biochemistry behind a genetic mutation that reduces pain, speeds recovery, and reduces anxiety and terror. The study, published in Brain, follows the team’s 2019 discovery of the FAAH-OUT gene and its unusual mutations, which make Jo Cameron nearly pain-free and fearless. The current study shows how this mutation decreases FAAH […]

In 1977, Meatloaf sang “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad,” but we doubt he calculated the galaxy’s life-supporting planets. Because new data imply that two out of three are negative, unless you want uninhabitable baked worlds with boiling oceans. Scientists are thrilled about the remaining one third because it still contains hundreds of millions of […]

The Indian Space Research Organisation launched a 2232-kilogram NavIC satellite on its sixth launch of 2023. GSLV F12 launched NVS-1 from Sriharikota’s Satish Dhawan Space Centre. The first of the next-generation NavIC satellites, NVS-1, enhances the nation’s navigational capabilities. The Civil Aviation sector’s rising need for better location, navigation, and timing inspired the system. NavIC […]

According to Mercom India Research, solar capacity addition in India decreased by 48 percent year-over-year to 1.9 GW in the January-March period of 2023. In the same period in 2022, the country added 3.6 gigawatts (GW) of solar capacity, according to the latest report from the research firm. ”India added 1.9 GW of solar capacity […]

In “The Martian,” Matt Damon plays an astronaut who survives on human feces-grown potatoes on Mars. A New York business that creates carbon-negative aircraft fuel is changing intergalactic cuisine. It reached the finals of a NASA-sponsored competition to create next-generation astronaut food innovations. The privately held Air Company of Brooklyn has developed a method of […]

China will launch its first civilian astronaut into space on Tuesday as part of a crewed mission to the Tiangong space station, the country’s Manned Space Agency announced, as Beijing pursues its extraterrestrial ambitions. After years of lagging behind the United States and Russia, the second-largest economy in the world has poured billions of dollars […]

Two Saudi Arabians have made history by becoming the first people from their country to ever reside and operate aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Axiom Space, based in Houston, managed the Ax-2 project, which consisted of a four-person private expedition, and Ali AlQarni and Rayyanah Barnawi were the two people that successfully launched to […]

PolSIR, a new NASA project, will research tropical and subtropical high-altitude ice clouds. Mission data will help global climate models mimic these clouds. Two identical CubeSats in orbits three to nine hours apart will monitor the clouds’ daily ice content. Earth Venture instruments, like PolSIR, are low-cost research instruments that ride along with other missions […]
