University at Albany chemists have created a new high-energy compound that could revolutionize rocket fuel and make space flights more efficient. Upon ignition, the compound releases more energy relative to
On Aug. 7 and 8, NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope team assessed the observatory’s solar panels and a visor-like sunshade called the deployable aperture cover—two components that will be
SpaceX on Tuesday was once again gearing up for the latest launch of its Starship megarocket after two successive postponements.

Now versions of the Great Filter argument had been around for decades (just like Fermi was not the first person to ask where everybody is), but the most comprehensive form
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are some of the most powerful signals in the universe. They can emit as much power in a few milliseconds as our Sun does in several
Asteroids floating through our solar system are debris left over from when our planetary neighborhood formed 4.6 billion years ago. Scientists study these ancient fragments as time capsules that reveal
