Thorium plated steel points to smaller nuclear clocksLos Angeles CA (SPX) Dec 11, 2025 Last year a UCLA-led team achieved a long-sought goal in nuclear spectroscopy by making radioactive thorium-229 nuclei absorb and emit photons in a controlled way, a capability scientists had pursued for about 50 years. That work, first proposed by the group in 2008, opened the door to nuclear clocks with very high precision that could influence navigation and tests of fundamental physics.

Uranus and Neptune may be rock rich worldsZurich, Switzerland (SPX) Dec 11, 2025 The Solar System is often divided into four inner rocky planets, two gas giants, and two ice giants thought to be dominated by water and other volatiles, but new work from the University of Zurich suggests Uranus and Neptune may contain much more rock than assumed so far. The study indicates that these distant planets can be consistent with interior structures that are either ice rich or rock ri

MIT engineers design an aerial microrobot that can fly as fast as a bumblebeeBoston MA (SPX) Dec 05, 2025 In the future, tiny flying robots could be deployed to aid in the search for survivors trapped beneath the rubble after a devastating earthquake. Like real insects, these robots could flit through tight spaces larger robots can't reach, while simultaneously dodging stationary obstacles and pieces of falling rubble. So far, aerial microrobots have only been able to fly slowly along smooth t

America must stop treating China’s lunar plans as a footraceIt has become conventional wisdom that China’s rise is driven by a coordinated strategy across three fronts here on Earth: dominating critical industries, controlling critical resources and occupying strategically important locations. This is explicit in the Chinese Communist Party’s own planning documents, speeches and industrial policies. We now face the same strategy pointed upward. Beijing […] The post America must stop treating China’s lunar plans as a footrace appeared first on SpaceNews.

The bacteria that wont wake up found in spacecraft cleanroomsLos Angeles CA (SPX) Dec 09, 2025 Researchers have characterized a bacterium from spacecraft assembly cleanrooms that can enter an extreme dormant state, allowing it to persist where contamination controls are designed to remove nearly all life. The study centers on Tersicoccus phoenicis, a microbe detected in high-grade cleanrooms used by NASA and the European Space Agency to prepare spacecraft hardware. The team found th

AI advances robot navigation on the International Space StationStanford CA (SPX) Dec 09, 2025 Imagine a robot about the size of a toaster floating through the tight corridors of the International Space Station, quietly moving supplies or checking for leaks - all without an astronaut at the controls. Such technology could free up valuable time for astronauts and open new opportunities for robotics-based exploration. That sci-fi vision is coming closer to reality now that Stanford research

New island of inversion found in proton neutron symmetric molybdenum nucleiTokyo, Japan (SPX) Dec 09, 2025 For decades, nuclear physicists have known that so called islands of inversion mark regions of the nuclear chart where standard shell structure breaks down and magic numbers vanish in favor of strongly deformed shapes. In earlier work these islands were identified mainly in neutron rich isotopes such as beryllium 12 with N = 8, magnesium 32 with N = 20, and chromium 64 with N = 40, all distant f
