A groundbreaking study on the International Space Station National Laboratory (ISSNL) has led to a new tissue chip model that imitates the early stages of osteoarthritis after joint injuries.
Osteoarthritis is a common joint disease that affects over 650 million people worldwide. It can cause severe pain and stiffness in joints. There are few treatment options available.
Virtus Solis wants to unlock a new era of reliable low-cost solar power for everyone around the globe. This Michigan-based startup hopes to build the first-ever solar farm in space. The plans of Virtus Solis were presented in April at the International Conference on Energy from Space in London.
MIT’s Department of Architecture, AeroAstro, and the MIT Media Lab have joined forces to create MOMO, a revolutionary self-assembling lunar habitat. This initiative is not only focused on meeting the immediate needs of lunar missions like Artemis III but also intends to lay the groundwork for long-term lunar settlement.
A recent NASA report outlines the most promising strategies for handling the growing space debris problem.
There are currently more than one hundred and sixty million pieces of space debris orbiting the Earth. Experts are worried that we could be on the verge of a destructive cascading orbital effect known as the Kessler Syndrome.

The safety and efficiency of a large, complex nuclear reactor can be improved by hardware as simple as a tiny sensor that monitors a cooling system. Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) are working to make those basic sensors more accurate by combining them with electronics that can withstand the intense radiation inside a reactor.
