Long thought to be completely disordered, space ice appears to have some crystallized regions, new research suggests.

A colossal structure in the distant Universe is defying our understanding of how the Universe evolved. In light that has traveled for 6.9 billion years to reach us, astronomers have found a giant ...

At a co-working space in Roslindale, MA, in early August, Aurelia Institute showed off a mock-up of a space habitat called TESSERAE, which is short for Tessellated Electromagnetic Space Structures ...

The Milky Way is about 100,000 light-years across, 1,000 light-years thick, and populated by 100 billion stars. That sounds ...

The agency is looking for structures more than 500 meters long. It envisages uses including vast nets for orbital debris collection, tethers for a space elevator, or self-assembled wings for a ...

The structure, named the Midpoint cloud, is an example of a Giant Molecular Cloud (GMC). It was discovered by the team using ...

In the first, they designed a simple habitat structure that could change its shape and stiffness. Future space explorers could deploy the same kind of material to build a variety of habitat modules.

Max Space's expandable habitats promise to be larger, stronger, and more versatile than anything like them ever launched, not to mention cheaper and lighter by far than a solid, machined structure.

Tech could be used to build "very large space structures." Credit: University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign DARPA has awarded two contracts to demonstrate in-space manufacturing technologies ...

A new approach for high volumes of small satellite structures uses low-CTE, low-cost CFRP cellular core, robust single-ply ...

A colossal structure in the distant Universe is defying our understanding of how the Universe evolved. In light that has traveled for 6.9 billion years to reach us, astronomers have found a giant ...

DARPA, which regularly dabbles in trying to turn science fiction into science, says that it is interested in exploring ways to “grow” biological structures of “unprecedented size”— up to ...
