Aug. 26, 2021 A human space mission would be viable if it doesn't exceed four years, an international research team concludes in new ...
Nov. 8, 2022 As low Earth orbit becomes more cluttered, it becomes increasingly necessary to use middle Earth orbits, and radiation-tolerant cell designs will be needed. Making photovoltaics thinner should ...
Jan. 26, 2022 Through analysis of ice cores from Greenland and Antarctica, a research team has found evidence of an extreme solar storm that occurred about 9,200 years ago. What puzzles the researchers is that the ...
Dec. 7, 2020 Manned space missions in spacecraft made of aluminium that is light yet resistant to radiation could be a step ...
July 31, 2023 Earth is rapidly warming and scientists are developing a variety of approaches to reduce the effects of climate change. An astronomer has proposed a novel approach -- a solar shield to reduce the ...
Sep. 14, 2023 Planetary scientists have discovered that high energy electrons in Earth's plasma sheet are contributing to weathering processes on the Moon's surface and, importantly, the electrons may ...
Sep. 2, 2021 Aviation guidelines aim to mitigate the effects of radiation, mainly caused by galactic cosmic rays and solar energetic particles, or SEP. The fluxes in the former are stable and predictable: dose ...
May 3, 2022 Researchers have described the optimal conditions for testing perovskite solar cells for ...
June 14, 2021 For the first time, the boundary of the heliosphere has been mapped, giving scientists a better understanding of how solar and interstellar winds ...
Mar. 2, 2021 An astrophysicist theorized why the chemical composition of the Sun's tenuous outermost layer differs from that lower down. His theory has recently been validated by combined observations of the ...
