To live on the moon or Mars, humans will need heat and air conditioning that can operate long term in reduced gravity and temperatures hundreds of degrees above or below what we experience on Earth.

From Newton’s falling apple to Einstein’s curved spacetime, our understanding of gravity has come a long way, yet this ...

For decades, quantum physics and general relativity have stood as two powerful but separate theories. Quantum physics explains the behavior of tiny particles like atoms and photons. General relativity ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — After a decade of preparation and two years of active experiments in space, a facility that Purdue University and NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland designed, built and ...

Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at CNET. She covered climate change, space rockets, mathematical puzzles, dinosaur bones, black holes, supernovas, and sometimes, the drama of philosophical ...

Space travel has always hit a wall with slow speeds and massive fuel needs. Gravitic propulsion systems offer a game-changing ...

For astronauts to go on long missions to the moon or Mars, they need a refrigerator. But today’s fridges aren’t designed to work in zero gravity or upside down if oriented that way when a spacecraft ...

In a lab in London, newborn chicks took the first steps of their life and unwittingly became part of solving one of the brain’s bigger mysteries. In a simple test, researchers placed the downy animals ...

NASA astronaut Frank Rubio services the Flow Boiling and Condensation Experiment (FBCE) on the International Space Station, designed, built and tested by Purdue and NASA’s Glenn Research Center. While ...
