NASA’s SPHEREx telescope has completed its first all-sky map, revealing hundreds of millions of galaxies and providing data to study the universe’s origin, evolution, and distribution of life-essential elements across cosmic history.

A robotic arm mastered 1,000 manipulation tasks in one day using MT3 imitation learning, requiring only one demonstration per task and minimal data.

Directed by Susanna Fogel, Ponies is an upcoming thriller web series that stars Emilia Clarke and Haley Lu Richardson in the lead roles. Streaming soon.

Blue Origin has made history by launching the first wheelchair user to space and safely returning her to Earth. Aerospace engineer Michi Benthaus flew aboard the company’s New Shepard rocket on a brief suborbital mission. The successful flight highlights expanding access to space as commercial missions increasingly include diverse passengers.

Astronomers studying aging Sun-like stars have found strong evidence that stars consume their closest planets as they evolve. Using data from NASA’s TESS mission, researchers observed fewer planets around older stars, suggesting worlds are destroyed over time. The findings offer a realistic preview of Earth’s fate billions of years from now.

A new ionic liquid additive developed by researchers at Purdue and Emory universities could transform perovskite solar technology. The compound stabilises crystal growth and buried interfaces, dramatically slowing heat- and light-driven degradation. Solar cells treated with the additive retained about 90% of their efficiency after 1,500 hours at 90°C, outperforming p…
