NASA’s IMAP Spacecraft Gears Up for Mission to Explore Solar System’s Edge
NASA’s Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) has begun final preparations at Kennedy Space Center for a launch no earlier than September 2025. The mission will position IMAP at Lagrange Point 1, a million miles from Earth, to study the solar wind and the edge of the heliosphere. The spacecraft, built by Johns Hopkins APL, will fly al...

How Joe Biden's Cancer Diagnosis Could Have Gone Undetected
Joe Biden's diagnosis with prostate cancer has spurred some prominent conservatives to accuse the former president of a cover-up, but oncologists said that screening limitations could very well have left his condition undetected until now.

Groundbreaking Graphene Discovery Opens Path to Quantum Computing with Topological States
A team of researchers from the University of British Columbia, the University of Washington, and Johns Hopkins University have uncovered a new class of quantum states in a precisely engineered twisted bilayer–trilayer graphene system. By creating a moiré pattern through slight rotational misalignment, they observed electrons displaying vortex-li...

New Study Finds Axons May Resemble 'Strings of Beads' Instead of Smooth Lines
A recent study challenges the traditional view of axons as smooth, cylindrical fibres, revealing they may actually resemble "strings of beads" or nanoscopic varicosities. Conducted by researchers at Johns Hopkins University using a high-pressure freezing imaging method, the discovery showed rotund blobs connected by thin tubes within axons. These s...

NASA Awards Johns Hopkins University Contract for Suprathermal Ion Sensor Development
NASA has awarded a $20.5M contract to Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory to develop Suprathermal Ion Sensors under NOAA's Space Weather Next Programme. The sensors will play a pivotal role in monitoring ions and solar winds, aiding early warnings against space weather impacts. Spanning a period through 2034, the project also involves integrat...

Researchers Find Evidence of the Oldest Alphabetic Writing in Human History in Syria
Clay cylinders bearing alphabetic inscriptions have been discovered in a 2400 BCE tomb at Tell Umm-el Marra, Syria. The find challenges prior beliefs about the origin and timeline of alphabetic writing, previously thought to have emerged around 1900 BCE in Egypt. The artefacts, unearthed by Johns Hopkins University researchers, include Early Bronze...

Asteroid Apophis Could Experience Surface Changes Due to Earth’s Gravity During 2029 Flyby
The asteroid Apophis, named after the ancient Egyptian god of chaos, is set to pass extremely close to Earth in 2029, potentially causing seismic activity and landslides on its surface due to Earth's gravity. These changes could alter Apophis’ surface, providing a rare opportunity to observe asteroid dynamics in real-time. A team from Johns Hopki...
