Free fuel for satellites: Large asteroids close to Earth could be mined for water, suggest researchers
It appears the Moon isn’t the best option for mining water in space. Recent research published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets found that asteroids close to Earth may be rich in water, making them better candidates for space mining. Researchers identified several of these asteroids and said that they are easier to reach than the Moon. Most of these near-Earth objects (NEOs) […]

Researchers examine how pink sea urchins sharpen their teeth to develop self-sharpening tools
Aside from their fearsome array of spines, sea urchins have another evolutionary edge over other sea creatures: self-sharpening teeth. According to researchers from Northwestern University, the spiny invertebrates, unlike other animals whose teeth are built to resist constant wear and tear, have teeth engineered to chip and weather in such a way that they maintain their sharp […]

Scientists use nanoparticles as an alternative propulsion method for small spacecraft
Propellant is one of the most important things that any spacecraft needs to carry – without it, a spacecraft will be unable to move or change course. This is why spacecraft tend to carry a lot of it on board. Carrying propellant, however, brings its own set of problems. Not only is the chemical highly flammable, […]

Terraforming Mars? Heal the Earth first, says grassroots group
Researchers and scientists toying with the idea of terraforming Mars are better off using their expertise to help heal the Earth instead. This is according to conceptual artist Jonathon Keats, who, in a statement, said that “re-wilding” – the act of letting other life forms such as plants and animals take back their spaces – […]

Shapeshifting robots straight out of sci-fi can be used to explore volcanoes and caves on Titan, Saturn’s moon
Engineers at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have found a way to help scientists gain access to worlds located in the depths of outer space: the Shapeshifter robot. Currently being tested in a robotics yard at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in California, the current Shapeshifter prototype, according to its engineers, can split […]
