On April 20, 2025, NASA’s Lucy spacecraft marked a major achievement by performing a close flyby of asteroid 52246 Donaldjohanson, located about 139 million miles (224 million kilometers) from Earth within the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. This encounter, which brought Lucy within roughly 600 miles (960 kilometers) of the asteroid, was a…
Scientists have discovered seven new “dark comets,” celestial objects that blur the boundary between asteroids and comets, bringing the total number of known dark comets to 14. These objects resemble asteroids but move like comets and could provide valuable insights into the origins of Earth’s water and the development of life. Unlike traditional comets, dark…
China’s Neural Electronic Opportunity (NEO) brain-computer interface system has achieved a major breakthrough in neurotechnology, showing its potential to restore motor functions in individuals with severe paralysis. Developed through a partnership between Tsinghua University and Shanghai Neuracle Medical Technology Co., Ltd., NEO is a wireless, minimally invasive device aimed at assisting patients with spinal cord…
SpaceX is gearing up for a landmark moment in space exploration with its upcoming first orbital flight of the Starship rocket. Designed to carry humans and cargo on long-duration missions, including trips to Mars, Starship represents the future of interplanetary travel. This highly anticipated flight follows a successful test launch from the previous year, marking…
A new study published in NPJ Aging has identified a nutrient profile that may support healthy brain aging. Researchers found two distinct types of brain aging in older adults: one with accelerated decline and another with slower-than-expected aging. The study revealed that participants with slower brain aging had higher levels of key vitamins, antioxidants, and…
