NEW YORK - It might sound like something out of a sci-fi flick, but Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk didn't flinch when asked whether Tesla's humanoid robot, Optimus, could one day house a human mind. At last week's Tesla shareholder meeting, a question from the audience went straight for the philosophical jugular: "Do you see a path for
Space tensions are on the rise as China and the U.S. compete for natural resources located beyond Earth. Both China and the U.S. are scrambling to gain control of a vast helium-3 deposit. Now that the hidden mine has been discovered on the lunar surface, both countries are eyeing the possibility of acquiring this rare isotope,
WASHINGTON DC - NASA has spotted an interstellar object that seems to be building speed as it moves closer to Earth. The comet, 3I/ATLAS was discovered earlier this year, having been drifting through space for millions of years, and has been passing through our solar system ever since. The object reached its closest point to the
DETROIT - Solar panels could soon be obsolete since researchers at the University of Basque County have mentioned a new material that absorbs 99.5% of light at 700°C. This unbelievable revelation focuses on ultrablack copper cobaltate nanoneedles, which go beyond the performance of conventional carbon nanotubes. A wonderful aspect of these copper cobaltate nanoneedles is that they
NEW YORK - Scientists say they can explain dark matter by positing a particle that links to a fifth dimension.While the “warped extra dimension” (WED) is a trademark of a popular physics model first introduced in 1999, this research, published in The European Physical Journal C, is the first to cohesively use the theory to explain the long-lasting dark matter problem
DETROIT - Companies are clamoring to extract highly valuable resources from the Moon, as Islamabad-based Centre for Aerospace & Security Studies research assistant Mustafa Bilal wrote in a new opinion piece for SpaceNews. Case in point, Helsinki-based cryogenics company Bluefors signed an agreement with space commercialization startup Interlune last month, agreeing to purchase up to ten thousand liters of lunar
ALASKA - With its frozen wilderness, Alaska's massive Mount Hayes towers 8,000 feet high and stands as one of the nation's largest peaks. However, the mountain has been the focus of several alien conspiracy theories for years due to alleged UFO encounters in the area. These assertions have generated enough fascination for Apple TV to broadcast a limited series
WASHINGTON DC - NASA has something important to say about the Moon… For most of us, the Moon seems like the quietest and more stable object in the night sky. It has been lighting every night, inspiring poems, and helping control the tides for billions of years. However, now, NASA scientists have warned about the
DETROIT - Astronomers disclosed new observations suggest we have been living inside a hot, less dense region, and that there may even be a strange “cosmic interstellar channel,” or tunnel, connecting us to distant stars. After years of careful mapping, a new analysis reveals what appears to be a channel of hot, low-density plasma stretching
WASHINGTON DC - NASA has just launched a new mission to keep tabs on a Manhattan-sized interstellar comet that’s acting unlike anything scientists have ever seen before. Known as Comet 3I/ATLAS, the mysterious object has been flashing red flags since it was first spotted back in July of this year. The International Asteroid Warning Network
