Scientists Explore How Non-Repeating Quasicrystal Patterns Could Solve the Mystery of Quantum Gravity
Physicists have proposed a new concept called spacetime quasicrystals, orderly structures that never repeat but exist across space and time. If proven, they could help explain the universe’s deep structure, quantum gravity, and hidden dimensions, while preserving key laws of relativity even at extremely small scales.

China Vows To Develop Space Tourism, Explore Deep Space As It Races US
China's main space contractor vowed to develop space tourism in the next five years, state media reported on Thursday, as Beijing revs up its commercial spaceflight and deep space exploration ambitions amid a technology race with the US.

NASA Tests Nuclear Rocket Engine Designed for Faster Deep-Space Missions
NASA has completed its first full-scale nuclear rocket reactor tests since the 1960s, marking a major milestone for deep-space propulsion. More than 100 cold-flow tests validated hydrogen flow and system stability. Nuclear thermal rockets could significantly reduce travel time, radiation exposure, and payload constraints for future Moon and Mars mi...

James Webb Helps Astronomers Chart the Universe’s Hidden Dark Matter
Astronomers have created the sharpest map yet of dark matter using deep observations from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. By analysing the gravitational distortion of hundreds of thousands of distant galaxies, the team traced invisible dark matter across a large region of the sky. The results confirm that dark matter forms the scaffolding arou...

NASA Races to Restore Contact With MAVEN Mars Orbiter After Weeks of Silence
NASA has resumed efforts to reestablish contact with the MAVEN spacecraft after Mars emerged from solar conjunction. Engineers are using the Deep Space Network and studying recovered data from December 6 to determine what caused the communication loss and assess the spacecraft’s condition.

NASA May Launch Historic Artemis 2 Moon Mission in Just One Month, Astronauts Ready for Flight
NASA’s Artemis 2 mission could launch astronauts around the moon in February, marking the first human flight to lunar space since Apollo 17. The crew will test Orion’s systems on a free-return trajectory and prepare for future lunar landings, paving the way for Artemis 3 and NASA’s goal of establishing a long-term human presence on the moon.

NASA Finds Most Distant Calm Galaxy Cluster Ever Seen in Early Universe
Astronomers using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory have discovered SPT-CL J2215-3537, a massive galaxy cluster located 8.4 billion light-years away. Nicknamed the “Champagne Supernova” cluster, it is the most distant relaxed cluster ever observed, showing no signs of recent collisions. Its calm structure and active star formation challenge ex...
