Portable device spots drought-stressed crops before it's too late
October 09, 2024It's always best if farmers can detect drought stress before crop plants become wilted, weakened and lower-yielding. An experimental new portable device could help in that regard, as it uses ultrasound to spot such stress in its earliest stages. -
The new way to avoid roaming charges while you travel
October 08, 2024TL;DR: Use your phone while you travel internationally when you get a $35 aloSIM Traveler's Data Plan. -
Curiosity rover sheds new light on how Mars became uninhabitable
October 08, 2024Data from NASA's Curiosity rover collected on Mars is shedding new light on how the Red Planet became uninhabitable in the distant past due to a changing climate that caused the surface water to evaporate or be locked away as ice. -
Long-life 'air motors' show promise in marine testing
October 08, 2024While battery-electric ferry boats may be more eco-friendly and require less maintenance than their diesel-burning counterparts, they're still not perfect. That's why scientists are now looking into powering small ferries using nothing but compressed air. -
Watch: Hera asteroid defense mission lifts off
October 07, 2024ESA's Hera spacecraft designed to assess NASA's experiment to deflect an asteroid has launched from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida. At 14:52 GMT, the robotic probe lifted off atop a Falcon 9 rocket to begin its three-year mission. -

Super Magdrive rocket thrusters run on heavy metal
October 05, 2024The most abundant metal known to man is iron. It's everywhere. Not just on Earth, but in space as well. Astro engineers have just figured out how to use iron – or nearly any metal for that matter – as plasma rocket fuel. -
Flat-pack tubes draw on origami and bamboo for super strength
October 05, 2024Tubular structures that fold flat for storage may not take up much room in that form, but they also tend not to be very strong when deployed. That isn't a problem with an experimental new type of tube, that's inspired by both origami and bamboo.
