NASA’s 3D printable tools could test blood samples on International Space Station
To enable astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) to analyse biological samples without sending them back to Earth, NASA researchers, including one of Indian-origin, are developing 3D printable tools that could handle liquids like blood samples without spilling in microgravity. Learning how bacteria affect crew health, or how genes affect aging and disease, can …

NASA fires up Voyager 1 thrusters after 37 years
US space agency NASA has said a set of thrusters aboard the Voyager 1 spacecraft, the only human-made object in interstellar space, have been successfully fired up after 37 years without use. The spacecraft has been using small devices called “attitude control thrusters” to orient itself so it can communicate with Earth, but the thrusters …

Cosmic martyrs
Laika’s last moments on earth were spent strapped into a windowless Soviet rocket awaiting lift off. The stray dog had enjoyed a meteoric rise to fame in 1957, having been plucked from a Moscow street, hastily trained and blasted into space. That ill-fated mission resulted in Laika overheating and dying five hours into the flight. …

Unravelling the cosmic code
Detection of gravity waves and the Nobel Prize for the pioneers has put the focus on Albert Einstein’s formulation of gravity as a geometric effect that masses have on the structure of space itself. The force of gravity, however, is manifested at the level of planets, stars and the universe and can hardly be made …
