NASA Tests Faster, Wheel‑Lifting Rover Prototype

NASA has begun testing a new rover prototype named Ernest that can drive faster and lift its wheels to climb obstacles. The agency released footage of the rover in action, showing its improved mobility and the wheel‑lifting mechanism that allows it to navigate uneven terrain more effectively. These tests

Cannabis-Derived Terpenes Show Promise for Pain Relief Without Psychoactive Effects

New Findings on Cannabis Terpenes Scientists have discovered that certain terpenes—aromatic compounds found in cannabis and many other plants—can significantly alleviate pain in mouse models of fibromyalgia and post‑surgical discomfort. Unlike the well‑known psychoactive component THC, these terpenes do not produce a high. Geraniol Leads the

Permafrost Thaw May Be Counterbalanced by Natural Rock Weathering

Scientists have discovered that when permafrost thaws, it can stimulate a natural geological process—rock weathering—that absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. In certain regions, the carbon uptake from this weathering was strong enough to fully offset, or even exceed, the greenhouse gas emissions released by rivers. This finding

NASA Prepares Swift Boost Mission to Rescue Falling Telescope

NASA has announced that the Swift Boost mission, designed to recover a falling space telescope, will launch later this month. The mission will use a robotic spacecraft to rendezvous with the telescope and bring it back into a stable orbit, preventing loss of the valuable scientific instrument. The Swift Boost

Cobalt Supply Chain Vulnerabilities Could Spark Global EV Battery Crisis

The latest research from Science Daily highlights how tightly interwoven the global cobalt supply chain has become, making it highly susceptible to localized shocks that can ripple across multiple countries and industries. The study points out that even a single disruption—such as a mine outage or regulatory change—could
