There are several areas of the current space race. One of them is the development of construction materials that will be used to build houses on other planets.

The team of scientists from the University of Manchester (UK) presented their version of a "space" brick made of a material called StarCrete.

During the tests, the product showed impressive characteristics - compressive strength - 72 MPa (734.2 kg/cm²), which is twice as high as that ... more

NASA is ready to present a prototype lunar space suit developed by Axiom Space for participants in the Artemis III mission, which starts in December 2025.

It differs from its predecessors by its “dimensionlessness” (that is, it is designed for several body types), greater flexibility and the presence of built-in research equipment. The helmet is equipped with two lights and an HD camera. Astronauts do not put on a spacesuit, but rather enter it th... more

In July, astrophysicist Allison Kirkpatrick of the University of Kansas released an article highlighting the latest discoveries of "James Webb". Some of the telescope's observations were unexpected by astronomers, leading Kirkpatrick to write, "It's three in the morning and I can't sleep, wondering if everything I did was wrong?" This quote was picked up and used in his article by Eric Lerner, an opponent of the Big Bang theory, and his publication went... more

Scientists from the Russian MSTU Bauman made a proposal to place large data centers, as well as various kinds of supercomputers in outer space, which will significantly reduce the cost of electricity to ensure their operation. In addition, this solution will reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emissions on Earth.

Presumably, we are talking about promising quantum supercomputers operating in an ultra-low temperature environment, and such complexes ... more

Astronomers have only 13 years left to try to see and figure out what the amazing cosmic body X7 is. More precisely than it was, since in 2036 it will be swallowed up by the black hole of Alpha Sagittarius* at the center of our galaxy. Given that it is located more than 25 thousand light years from Earth, this event happened a long time ago. And scientists have no confidence that something like this will happen again in any near future.
