Space station study reveals unusual virus bacteria dynamics in microgravityLos Angeles CA (SPX) Jan 14, 2026 In near weightless conditions aboard the International Space Station, viruses that infect bacteria continue to attack their hosts but follow an altered evolutionary trajectory compared to the same systems on Earth. A new study led by researchers at the University of Wisconsin Madison used Escherichia coli and its bacteriophage predator T7 to probe how microgravity reshapes the coevolution

This exotic form of ice just got weirderMenlo Park CA (SPX) Jan 08, 2026 Researchers hoped to clarify the boundaries between different types of superionic water - the hot, black ice believed to exist at the core of giant ice planets. Instead, they found multiple atomic stacking patterns coexisting in overlapping configurations never seen before in this phase of water. Superionic water - the hot, black and strangely conductive form of ice that exists in the cent

The Space Force will acquire and integrate systems faster in 2026At the beginning of 2026, it’s worth reflecting on the U.S. Space Force’s recent accomplishments. They include the creation of the Commercial Space Office and its Commercial Augmentation Space Reserve, a working capital fund to provide flexibility in providing MILSATCOM services and new acquisition approaches for Resilient GPS and Protected Tactical SATCOM. The list of […] The post The Space Force will acquire and integrate systems faster in 2026 appeared first on SpaceNews.

Satellites lined up for shared space computing power networksTokyo, Japan (SPX) Dec 31, 2025 Researchers are outlining a space computing power network that would link communication and computation across satellite constellations to handle growing data processing demands in orbit. Over recent decades, satellites have expanded global connectivity and remote sensing, but many systems still move raw data to the ground for processing under tight contact windows. Traditional satellite-g

Engineered interlayers boost satellite insulation and flexible electronicsBerlin, Germany (SPX) Dec 17, 2025 Researchers at Empa are refining the multilayer insulation foils that wrap many satellites and space probes, aiming to improve their mechanical robustness while maintaining thermal protection. These foils, known as multilayer insulation or superinsulation, are built from stacked layers of a strong polymer coated with thin metal, typically aluminum, and are also used on Earth in items such as sur

Show HN: Turn Your Git Commits into TweetsOP here. I've been trying to "build in public" recently, but I found that switching context from VS Code to Twitter/X just to write "Fixed a race condition" felt like friction. I often ended up posting nothing because translating code-diffs to human-readable text takes more mental energy than fixing the bug.I built Git to Tweet to automate this loop.How it works:It hooks into your GitHub repo (via OAuth).It pulls the metadata and diff summaries of your recent commits.It passes the diff through a specifically tuned prompt (to avoid generic "AI slop") that extracts the intent of the code change rather than just listing file names.It generates a draft that you can edit before posting.The Tech Stack:Frontend: React + Framer Motion (spent way too much time on the "terminal" animations you see on the landing page).Backend: Node.js/Supabase.LLM: Currently testing models to see which is best at understanding code context without hallucinating features.The landing page includes an interactive s

NASA team presses MAVEN recovery before Mars solar conjunctionLos Angeles CA (SPX) Dec 26, 2025 NASA engineers continue attempts to regain contact with the MAVEN Mars orbiter, which last communicated with Earth on Dec. 6. Working with the Deep Space Network, the team is uplinking recovery commands and listening for any signal that would confirm the spacecraft has resumed communications. Specialists are processing fragments of tracking data captured on Dec. 6 during a radio science ca

Possible "superkilonova" exploded not once but twicePasadena CA (SPX) Dec 17, 2025 When the most massive stars reach the ends of their lives, they blow up in spectacular supernova explosions, which seed the universe with heavy elements such as carbon and iron. Another type of explosion - the kilonova - occurs when a pair of dense dead stars, called neutron stars, smash together, forging even heavier elements such as gold and uranium. Such heavy elements are among the basic bui

Maven stays silent after routine pass behind MarsSydney, Australia (SPX) Dec 14, 2025 NASA engineers are continuing efforts to restore contact with the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) orbiter after the spacecraft fell silent during a routine pass behind Mars on December 6 2025. Before the loss of signal, telemetry from MAVEN indicated that the spacecraft and its subsystems were operating within expected parameters as it approached occultation by the planet. A

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
