Space Forge Tests World’s First Commercial Semiconductor Factory in Space

Space Forge’s ForgeStar-1 mission has proven that semiconductor manufacturing is possible in orbit. By generating plasma inside a mini furnace in microgravity, the UK startup showed that space conditions can enable far purer crystal growth than on Earth, potentially revolutionizing future electronics and energy-efficient chips.

NASA Spots Giant Antarctic Iceberg Turning Blue as It Nears Breakup

NASA scientists are closely tracking iceberg A-23A as vivid blue meltwater pools spread across its surface, signalling rapid decay. Once covering nearly 4,000 square kilometres, the Antarctic megaberg has shrunk to about 1,180 square kilometres and is fragmenting in warmer South Atlantic waters, offering valuable insight into how rising temperatures accelerate iceberg…

Astronomers Discover Shockingly Hot Young Galaxy Cluster That Defies Theory

Astronomers have identified an exceptionally hot galaxy cluster forming just 1.4 billion years after the Big Bang. Observations reveal gas temperatures far exceeding theoretical limits, suggesting an unexpectedly violent early formation. The discovery challenges standard models of galaxy cluster evolution and points to intense activity from starbursts and supermassive…
