The Toughest Animals in the Universe Just Got a New Job They are the toughest animals on Earth and possibly the key to surviving on Mars. Tardigrades, the microscopic creatures nicknamed 'water bears', have survived the vacuum of space, the crushing pressu...

Tardigrades, the ultra-tough “water bears,” were tested in simulated Martian soil. Some Mars-like regolith proved harmful, but rinsing it with water removed the toxic effects. The findings could help scientists understand Mars’ chemistry and prepare its soil for future exploration

ISS Study Shows Microbes Can Mine Platinum from Asteroids A study reveals that microbes can efficiently extract metals from asteroid material in microgravity, advancing the potential for sustainable space resource use.

Scientists on the International Space Station found that certain microbes, especially the fungus Penicillium simplicissimum, can extract platinum-group metals from asteroid material in microgravity — suggesting future space biomining could help astronauts harvest resources directly from asteroids

NASA’s ER-2 Aircraft Captures Moonlight to Calibrate Space Sensors - NASA Science A NASA instrument designed to measure moonlight to help satellite sensors make more accurate measurements.

NASA flew its ER-2 high-altitude aircraft with the Airborne Lunar Spectral Irradiance (air-LUSI) instrument to measure moonlight and calibrate space-based sensors. The consistent lunar brightness helps improve accuracy for satellites that track weather, ecosystems, and agriculture

Ancient Microbes Fused Into Earth’s First Complex Cells. Scientists Learned What Made It Possible. Around 1.7 billion years ago, eukaryotes—the building blocks of complex life—first appeared on Earth, and now scientists have solved a longstanding riddle about their origin.

Around 1.7 billion years ago, simple microbes merged into the first complex cells (eukaryotes). New research shows ancestors of eukaryotes could use oxygen, letting them live near and engulf oxygen-using bacteria that became mitochondria — solving a key mystery in how complex life evolved

For the first time, light mimics a Nobel Prize quantum effect Scientists have pulled off a feat long considered out of reach: getting light to mimic the famous quantum Hall effect. In their experiment, photons drift sideways in perfectly defined, quantized steps...

Light was made to behave like electrons in the quantum Hall effect, drifting in precise, quantized steps — even though photons don’t respond to magnetic fields — potentially enabling new standards for measurement and quantum photonic tech

Science history: Stephen Hawking writes a tiny paper — and turns our understanding of black holes inside out — March 1, 1974 In 1974, physicist Stephen Hawking described the potential for tiny, primordial black holes that existed at the dawn of time to explode — and reshaped what we knew about these cosmic behemoths.

In 1974, Stephen Hawking published a short paper showing black holes emit tiny amounts of heat and can slowly shrink and even explode — a concept now called Hawking radiation. This upended the idea that nothing can escape a black hole and led to the black hole information paradox
