NASA considering the use of “starshade” tech to look for alien planets
NASA has announced its plans to use “starshade” technology on exoplanet-hunting missions. Recent research from the space agency suggests that while the plans may be technologically daunting, it’s not impossible and well within NASA’s reach. Astronomers all over the world have been detecting exoplanets for over a decade now. However, their work has been done only […]

From the sea to the stars: Scientists study octopuses to understand intelligent life on other planets
Researchers trying to figure out how extraterrestrial life may think are starting to look in different places. In one study, presented at the 2019 Astrobiology Science Conference, a group of researchers from the University of Washington (UWash) in Seattle believe that the way the arms of a cephalopod like the octopus “think” can be a model for how […]

French researchers claim to have created metallic hydrogen in a lab: Material can “conduct electricity indefinitely at room temperature”
Metallic hydrogen is a state of hydrogen wherein the element is able to conduct electricity. Scientists have spent close to a century attempting to create this material. A team of French researchers now claim that they’ve done it. Normally, hydrogen isn’t a great conductor. However, physicists since the 1930s have suspected that if hydrogen were to be […]

Say goodbye to flat tires: Michelin develops new ‘puncture-proof’ airless tires
Flat tires may soon be a thing of the past. Michelin and General Motors (GM) have announced the development of a prototype for production-ready airless tires, which could roll out and replace old pneumatic rubber tires by 2025. Both companies say they have been developing the airless tires for the better part of two decades. Michelin calls their […]

Mining the next frontier: NASA invests in optical mining tech for use on asteroids, the moon
NASA is investing in optical mining technology that will make it easier for resources to be extracted from the moon and, potentially, asteroids. NASA, through its Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) program, will begin exploring the feasibility of developing technology that combines robotic rovers with mining tech that could turn mining in space from a science fiction […]

NASA opens the ISS for space tourism and commercial business
The International Space Station (ISS) is now open for business, as NASA has announced a plan to allow tourists to visit ISS starting in 2020. Per year, two private astronaut missions will be allowed to board the ISS for a 30-day trip. This will be very expensive, considering all of the life support systems and necessary […]

Ready for pilot-less flights? German company says self-driving flying cars “in the works”
German startup Lilium has successfully tested their full-scale prototype electric “flying taxi.” They launched an unmanned test flight of their prototype, proving that their flying taxi’s vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) systems were functioning properly. The aircraft took off vertically, hovered in the air and then landed safely. The flying taxi features a relatively simple design. It has an egg-shaped cabin on […]

Clever “Flying-V” plane design is more fuel-efficient than today’s most advanced aircraft
The Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in the Netherlands, in partnership with KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, is working on an innovative airplane design known as the “Flying-V,” which — its creators claim — uses 20 percent less fuel thanks to its unique, two-pronged configuration. Flaring diagonally backwards from its nose to create the V-shape, the airplane has the same wingspan as existing […]

Researchers design cost-efficient, clean fuel cells that might soon replace traditional gas engines in cars
Fuel cell technology has been around for some time. The first truly modern fuel cell vehicles came from the 1950s and 1960s, when they were used on experimental vehicles such as the 1966 Electrovan, a van which was outfitted with a fuel cell that took up so much space it could only fit two people. Fuel cell technology was even used by […]

Transportation company pitches oversized hydrogen-powered drones as air ambulances or sky taxis
A transportation company is betting that its new oversized drone will, within 10 years, take to the skies as a cargo transporter, a flying taxi or even an air ambulance. The company, Alaka’i Technologies, unveiled the passenger-carrying model of their “oversized drone” near Los Angeles. They call it the Skai (pronounced “sky”), a drone with six rotors […]
