Check out what’s clicking on FoxBusiness.com. Chinese scientists want to send more than 20 of China’s largest rockets to practice removing a significant asteroid – a technique that could ultimately be crucial if a killer stone is on a collision course with Earth. The idea is more than science fiction. Sometime between late 2021 and early 2022, the United States …

Of all the ways you can think of dying in space – designing aliens, robot losing its mind and trying to kill you, potato chips flying into the console, etc. – drowning is probably furthest away from any astronaut’s mind. Yet in July 2013, astronaut Luca Parmitano faced this very scenario while completing a spacewalk outside the International Space Station …

The HOPE orbiter spacecraft that the United Arab Emirates sent to Mars last July has captured some of the most fascinating images of the auroral emissions around the red planet. The images are of the glowing atmosphere of Mars’ night sky and are known as the planet’s’ discrete auroras’. The photos were shared by HOPE Mars Mission official handles on …

In most of these writings, satellites that go offline and then the ensuing chaos on Earth are all that happens. But what if these pieces of man-made hardware did not stay in orbit but went back to Earth for some reason? It’s a hypothetical situation that the boys are considering in What If for their latest doomsday scenario: 20,000 satellites …

Credit: CC0 Public Domain A new nanotechnology development by an international research team led by researchers from Tel Aviv University will make it possible to generate electrical currents and voltage in the human body through activation of various organs (mechanical force). The researchers explain that the development involves a new and very strong biological material similar to collagen, which is …

One of the most difficult things to reconcile in science is when new data either complicates or refutes previous findings. It is even more difficult when these findings were widely publicized and heralded around society. But that’s how science works – the theories have to fit the data. So when a team from JPL analyzed data from Mars Express about …

“We can fly Starship around space and penetrate dirt with the movable cloak door.” Chomp L.‘eye The Earth’s orbit is becoming increasingly filled with our remaining waste. More than 27,000 pieces of orbital remains of various sizes are tracked by the Ministry of Defence’s global space surveillance network. It can make firing rockets increasingly difficult in the future, let alone …

Credit: CC0 Public Domain NYU Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) researchers have uncovered a code that sets the liver’s genome to take into account the remarkable ability of this body to regenerate. This finding provides new insights into how the specific genes that promote regeneration can be activated when part of the liver is removed. These findings have the potential to inform …

The monolayer of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is sandwiched between two protective layers of boron nitride (hBN), with molybdenum rhenium (MoRe) contacts extending through the top. A layer of graphene (gate) is used for electrical control.
