Imagine a robot about the size of a toaster floating through the tight corridors of the International Space Station, quietly moving supplies or checking for leaks - all without an astronaut at the controls. Such technology could free up valuable time for astronauts and open new opportunities for robotics-based exploration. That sci-fi vision is coming closer to reality now that Stanford research

For decades, nuclear physicists have known that so called islands of inversion mark regions of the nuclear chart where standard shell structure breaks down and magic numbers vanish in favor of strongly deformed shapes. In earlier work these islands were identified mainly in neutron rich isotopes such as beryllium 12 with N = 8, magnesium 32 with N = 20, and chromium 64 with N = 40, all distant f

An international group of astronomers led by Texas Tech University assistant professor Elias Aydi published a paper titled Multiple outflows and delayed ejections revealed by early imaging of novae in Nature Astronomy on Dec. 5. The team used interferometry with the Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy (CHARA) Array in California, combining light from multiple telescopes to obtain the hi

Astronomers are testing a new way to measure how fast the universe is expanding by using time delays in gravitationally lensed images of distant quasars, in an effort to clarify the long-standing tension between different measurements of the Hubble constant. The expansion rate of the universe, known as the Hubble constant, describes how quickly galaxies recede as a function of distance, wi

Gamma ray bursts rank among the most energetic explosions known, usually flashing and fading within seconds or minutes, but on 2 July 2025 astronomers detected GRB 250702B, a source that produced repeated bursts for over seven hours and now stands as the longest gamma ray burst yet observed. Space based observatories, including NASAs Fermi Gamma ray Space Telescope, first recorded the gamma rays

Rocket Lab Corporation has qualified the captive Hungry Hippo fairing for its Neutron launch vehicle and is sending the structure to Virginia for integration ahead of the rocket's debut mission. The fairing halves remain attached to Neutron's first stage from liftoff through landing, rather than separating and being discarded or recovered at sea. In flight, the halves open to release the second

The European Union hit Elon Musk's X with a 120-million-euro ($140-million) fine Friday for breaking its digital rules, sparking an angry reaction from Washington. The high-profile probe into the social media platform was seen as a test of the EU's resolve to police Big Tech. Even before the penalty was made public, US Vice President JD Vance warned against "attacking" US firms through "cens

Europe's embattled auto industry and its backers are ramping up pressure on the EU to relax its planned 2035 ban on new petrol and diesel car sales - hoping for a decision by year end. The European Commission is due to review the target on December 10 as part of a broader rescue plan for the sector but competing demands from member states and industry risk forcing it to push back the date.

French President Emmanuel Macron said he has threatened China with tariffs if Beijing fails to take steps to reduce its massive trade surplus with the EU, in remarks published Sunday. "I told them that if they don't react, we Europeans will be forced to take strong measures in the coming months," Macron told business daily Les Echos after returning from a state visit to China. Such measu

Australia's landmark move to ban under-16s from social media will be closely watched by other countries, which could follow suit with similar laws. AFP spoke to teenagers and adults around the world about the Australian ban, which comes in on Wednesday. Here are some of their reactions: - Mumbai: 'Nothing is black or white' - At the seafront in India's Mumbai, 19-year-old Pratigya Je

Most markets rose Monday as investors gear up for an expected US interest rate cut this week, with debate centring on the likelihood the Federal Reserve will continue easing monetary policy further into the new year. The reduction has been well baked into traders' plans following a string of comments from key decision-makers since last month and data indicating the labour market continues to

Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology have produced the first detailed calculation of how fast time passes on Mars compared with Earth, providing a parameter that future human and robotic missions will need for navigation and communications. They determine that clocks on the Martian surface run on average 477 microseconds faster per Earth day than clocks on Earth, with

Neutrinos are among the most abundant matter particles in the Universe, yet they interact so weakly that they are difficult to detect and study. The Standard Model includes three neutrino types, but their ability to oscillate between flavors shows they have mass and can change identity as they travel. For many years, anomalies in reactor and source experiments have pointed to the possible existe

Researchers at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and partners have mapped how emerging chalcogenide semiconductor absorbers behave in photoelectrochemical systems that convert sunlight and CO2 into chemical fuels. They examined how the electronic band structure of these materials governs charge generation, separation, and transfer at the semiconductor - electrolyte interface, and how these processe

Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary told the Lok Sabha, in a written reply to a question, that this fact has been highlighted in the IMF’s report on ‘Growing Retail Digital Payments (The Value of Interoperability)’ dated June 2025.

New Zealand welcome France on July 4 in the 12-team Nations Championship at the state-of-the-art 30,000-seat Te Kaha Stadium, also known as the One New Zealand Stadium. A magnitude 6.2 earthquake in February 2011 killed 185 people, toppled buildings and paralysed New Zealand's second largest city with the main rugby stadium damaged beyond repair. Super Rugby's Canterbury Crusaders moved to a temporary home at a small rugby league stadium, but its size meant the All Blacks have played only five times in the city since the earthquake...
