The road to Oz may be paved with yellow bricks, but it took time to lay each one of those bricks. Science is also a journey that requires building the path on which it travels. When astronomers from the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration published the First image of a black hole silhouette in 2019It was

Scientists have discovered a key process necessary for superconductivity This is a superconductor that works at higher temperatures than previously thought. It could be a small but significant step in the quest for one of the “holy grails” of physics: a superconductor that works at room temperature. The discovery, made inside the unlikely material of
An artist's concept shows the expansion of the universe over time since the Big Bang (represented as white light on the left). The cosmic microwave background is shown as the mottled blue-green surface. A dark space represents the cosmic dark ages, before stars and galaxies began to form and fill the universe. The universe can
An artist's concept shows Blue and Gold, the twin satellites that will launch in October 2024 for their mission to Mars. They built the probes on a shoestring budget to see if it was possible and will study Mars' hybrid magnetosphere. The satellites will take 11 months to reach the red planet. Image via POT.
WASHINGTON — Nine space technology companies have won a new round of contracts from SpaceWERX, an organization based in Los Angeles that connects military needs with commercial space technologies, officials announced Aug. 22.

Carleton University is among the institutions studying archaeology on the International Space Station (International Space Station) to see how astronauts adapt their living space to their needs. A new peer-reviewed study in Plus One examines the “microsociety” of ISS astronauts and their use of cluttered spaces, such as repurposing a pegboard near the exercise area
