NASA to Investigate How Space Weather Affects Earth’s Atmosphere

NASA has announced plans to study the impact of space weather on Earth’s atmosphere. The agency will examine how solar storms, cosmic rays, and other extraterrestrial events alter atmospheric composition, temperature, and dynamics. The research aims to improve models of atmospheric behavior, support satellite navigation and communication systems, and

NASA’s Chandra X‑ray Observatory Detects Possible Supernova Remnant in the Milky Way

NASA’s Chandra X‑ray Observatory has identified a potential supernova remnant in the middle of the Milky Way galaxy. The discovery, announced on June 11 2026, comes from X‑ray imaging that shows the expanding remains of an exploded star in a region that is otherwise crowded with stellar

New World Screwworm Reappears in the U.S., Prompting Calls for a New Eradication Effort

The New World screwworm (Cochliomyia hominivorax) has been a scourge for livestock and wildlife for decades, but a coordinated effort in the 1950s and 60s successfully eliminated the parasite from the United States. Recent reports, however, have identified the parasite in several animals across the country, indicating that it has

Infleqtion Announces America’s Quantum Space Initiative to Speed Up Quantum‑Enabled Space Infrastructure

Infleqtion, a company specializing in quantum technologies, has announced the launch of the America’s Quantum Space Initiative. The program seeks to fast‑track the development and deployment of quantum‑enabled infrastructure in space, including quantum communication, sensing, and computing systems. By fostering collaboration between industry, academia, and government, Infleqtion

Fusogenic Neurosurgery Restores Movement in Severed-Spine Pigs, Raising Human Trial Possibilities

Researchers have demonstrated that a novel fusogenic neurosurgery can restore walking ability in pigs whose spinal cords were completely severed. The technique, which involves fusing damaged nerve segments, allowed the animals to regain locomotion after a period of paralysis. While the results are promising, experts caution that translating the procedure

Menopause Triggers Extensive Brain Remodeling, but Long‑Term Effects May Be Positive

Menopause is not only a hormonal transition but also a period of significant neuroplasticity. New research shows that the brain undergoes a full renovation during this time, with widespread changes in structure and connectivity. While the immediate effects can be dramatic, scientists are discovering that the long‑term impact of

Ancient Moon Impact May Bring Deep Mantle Rocks to Future Artemis Landing Sites

Scientists have modeled the impact that created the South Pole‑Aitken basin, the Moon’s largest and oldest crater. The simulation shows that a low‑angle strike from a large, iron‑cored impactor blasted material from deep within the Moon, including mantle rocks. This means that future Artemis missions could
