EV Owners Could Earn Thousands Selling Power Back to the Grid
Electric vehicles could serve as mobile energy storage units, absorbing excess renewable electricity and returning it to the grid during peak demand — a concept known as vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology. New Scientist ...
Study Models Behavior of Titan's Hydrocarbon Seas Under Wind Stress
New research explores how the hydrocarbon oceans on Saturn's moon Titan — composed of liquid methane and ethane rather than water — would generate waves that move in slow motion compared to Earth's oceans. The oily, ...
NASA and OPM Launch NASA Force Website With Open Job Applications
NASA and the Office of Personnel Management have jointly unveiled the NASA Force website, a new platform designed to streamline job applications for positions at the agency. The site opens new hiring opportunities and se...
'For All Mankind' Sci-Fi Timeline Compared to Real Space History

Fast Solar Wind May Bring Northern Lights as Far South as Illinois and Oregon
A stream of fast-moving solar wind is expected to trigger geomagnetic storm conditions, potentially pushing auroral displays to unusually low latitudes including Illinois and Oregon tonight. Skywatchers in mid-latitude r...
Artemis 2 Orion Capsule Heat Shield Performs Well After Moon Mission Splashdown
Following the successful completion of NASA's 10-day Artemis 2 lunar mission and splashdown on April 10, 2026, initial assessments indicate the Orion capsule's heat shield performed as expected during reentry. The four-p...
Ancient DNA Reveals Lush Forests Thrived in Doggerland Over 16,000 Years Ago
New DNA evidence shows that the submerged prehistoric landscape of Doggerland, now beneath the North Sea, supported thriving forests of oak, elm, and hazel more than 16,000 years ago — thousands of years earlier than p...
Scientists Identify Over 3,100 'Surging Glaciers' Posing Flood and Avalanche Risks
A new study has catalogued more than 3,100 so-called surging glaciers worldwide — a rare type that can suddenly accelerate and trigger destructive floods and avalanches. High concentrations are found in the Arctic and ...
Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Underwent Dramatic Changes During Solar Passage
