Nuclear propulsion and power technologies could unlock new frontiers in missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. NASA has reached an important milestone advancing nuclear propulsion that could benefit future deep space missions by completing a cold-flow test campaign of the first flight reactor engineering development unit since the 1960s.…

A candidate planet that might be remarkably similar to Earth, HD 137010 b, has one potentially big difference: It could be colder than perpetually frozen Mars. Scientists continue to mine data gathered by NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope, retired in 2018, and continue to turn up surprises. A new paper reveals…

OpenAI has launched Prism, a free AI-native workspace designed to modernize how scientists write, revise, and collaborate on research. Powered by GPT-5.2, the cloud-based platform integrates AI directly into scientific workflows through a LaTeX-native environment. The tool consolidates fragmented research tasks, including drafting papers, managing citations, formatting equations, and coordinating…

Scientists watched a solar flare grow from tiny magnetic sparks into a violent plasma-raining avalanche on the Sun. Like snow avalanches that start with a small shift before rapidly growing, new observations show that solar flares begin with weak magnetic disturbances that intensify quickly. Scientists using the ESA-led Solar Orbiter…
