The body of a single cell must stay steady when the outside world heats up. One key player in this survival game is a protein called Orb6, which is the yeast version of a human enzyme named STK38. Scientists found that when yeast cells face hot conditions, Orb6 steps in to adjust two important pro
Scientists have long wondered how ocean animals and microbes work together. Some research says these relationships follow a pattern where closely related animals share similar bacteria. But earlier studies didn’t always agree on this idea. Now, a new study takes a closer look at one group of bacteri
Voyager 1, the farthest human-made object from Earth, is running out of power. Launched in 1977, this nearly half-century-old spacecraft has been exploring space long beyond its original five-year mission. Now, NASA engineers face a tough choice: keep Voyager alive a little longer or sacrifice some

NASA’s space programs and the Star Wars universe share more than a fan base. The TIE fighter, famous for its sleek twin‑engine design and blue ion trails, actually reflects technologies NASA has tested. The name “TIE” is short for Twin Ion Engines, a concept that first appeared in 1990s jet‑propulsi
At just twelve years old, Naia Butler‑Craig dreamed of space after seeing Mae Jemison’s photo at her church in Orlando.
