Indian dance mudras yield advanced synergies for robotic hand controlLos Angeles CA (SPX) Dec 12, 2025 Researchers at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County extracted building blocks from precise hand gestures in Bharatanatyam, a classical Indian dance form. Their analysis revealed a richer set of movement patterns than those in natural grasps. The team published findings online Nov. 24 in Scientific Reports. Ramana Vinjamuri leads the UMBC lab that studies brain control of complex ha

Ancient Martian brines left bromine rich fingerprints in jarosite mineralsTokyo, Japan (SPX) Dec 14, 2025 Jarosite, a sulfate mineral widely detected on Mars, records interaction between acidic, oxidizing waters and the planet's surface rocks, but the halogen chemistry of those fluids has been difficult to reconstruct. New experimental work examines how bromine and chlorine enter jarosite under Mars-like conditions, using them as tracers of fluid evolution and environmental conditions. Researc

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.

Solar ghost particles seen flipping carbon atoms in underground detectorBerlin, Germany (SPX) Dec 11, 2025 Scientists have recorded solar neutrinos changing carbon-13 into nitrogen-13 inside the SNO+ detector in Canada, marking the first observation of this specific interaction between neutrinos and carbon nuclei. Neutrinos, sometimes called ghost particles, rarely interact with matter even though trillions pass through every person each second, and they are produced in nuclear reactions such a

Colliding space debris produces radio bursts, raising prospect of ‘debris weather’ alertsGOLDEN, CO — A university team has found that small orbital debris could emit radio bursts as they collide or approach each other in space. The signal can be detected with large radio dishes on Earth, as well as satellites in orbit. This new intelligence agency-funded research is focused on gauging the interaction of orbital debris […] The post Colliding space debris produces radio bursts, raising prospect of ‘debris weather’ alerts appeared first on SpaceNews.

How multi-agent AI can strengthen space missions against the unknownSpace missions are entering a new era defined by complexity: more sensors, more software-driven behavior, more tightly coupled subsystems and more interactions between spacecraft and orbital infrastructure. As these systems evolve, the number of potential failure modes grows — ranging from thermal drift and aging hardware to configuration errors, environmental disturbances, and unfamiliar system behavior.
