NRKZ Signal · Signal illustrationThe large sunshade of NASA’s Near-Earth Object (NEO) Surveyor mission is inspected by a technician at BAE Systems Space & Mission Systems in Boulder, Colorado, in late July.
NRKZ Signal · Signal illustrationMIT researchers have now designed an implantable drug-delivery device that they hope could help prevent recurrence of glioblastoma.
Source image · NASANASA and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding expanding cooperation in Earth observation, geospatial analytics, and advanced data technologies, supporting USDA’s data modernization plan for United States agriculture.
NASA/Joel Kowsky · Archive imageA study by Google Research and Google for Health demonstrates that AI can be used to assess gestational age in ultrasound scans, enabling non-sonographer operators with low-cost probes to deliver expert-level assessments. This could significantly expand life-saving maternal care globally, especially in low-resource settings where access to diagnostic medical imaging is limited.
NASA · Archive imageNASA’s CASALS instrument will blend machine learning with an ultra-compact lidar instrument to adaptively ‘sweep’ large swaths of Earth’s surface.
NRKZ Signal · Signal illustrationU.S. National Science Foundation-supported researcher Louise Willingale discusses the most powerful laser in the United States, the NSF Zettawatt Equivalent Ultrashort Pulse Laser System , how it's being used to advance science, and how it will become even more powerful in the future.
Source image · NASA Earth Observatory/Michala Garrison, based on data from O’Neill, M.M., et al .A new NASA study reveals how human activities, such as irrigation and land-use changes, are affecting terrestrial water storage. The study, based on satellite measurements, identifies 40 regions where these activities have a stronger impact on water storage trends than climate variability. The findings highlight the importance of understanding human influence on Earth's water cycle.
NRKZ Signal · Signal illustrationMiller focused on prevention of a different problem for the aging brain: cognitive side effects from exposure to too much general anesthesia.
NRKZ Signal · Signal illustrationThe core CMS pixel detector, installed for 10 years, was successfully extracted after one week. Originally proposed in 2010, it was upgraded in 2017 and 2022, reaching 95% of active channels despite higher radiation exposure. The team is now passing the baton to the Inner Tracker, with 4000 modules being assembled worldwide.

NRKZ Signal · Signal illustrationReflecting on my time spent in the hatchery and creating a home in Juneau, Alaska Ella Skonieczny alongside her fellow Hollings intern Alleyah Britton, and mentor Becca, holding Pacific oysters ( Crassostrea gigas ) from the Salty Lady Seafood Company oyster farm.
NRKZ Signal · Signal illustrationWhen corporate leaders discuss climate strategy, the message that still dominates is that, despite competing priorities and external pressures, sustainability matters.
NRKZ Signal · Signal illustrationScientists have developed an AI model that can decode the language cells use to communicate, which could help understand how tissues develop and how diseases occur. The model analyzes signaling pathways that translate external signals into specific changes in gene activity in cells, offering a powerful way to study tissue development and disease.
NRKZ Signal · Signal illustrationCERN and Mistral sign a statement of intent to advance AI for science and strengthen Europe’s scientific and technological capabilities
NRKZ Signal · Signal illustrationAs artificial intelligence use becomes more widespread, scholars are working to understand its effects on the people who use it.
NRKZ Signal · Signal illustrationThe 2026-2027 U.S. Winter Outlook map for precipitation shows wetter-than-average conditions are most likely across the Southwest, South and East Coast.
NRKZ Signal · Signal illustrationKelvin waves are large-scale, slow-moving ocean waves that don't break onshore like typical waves. They're difficult to see with the naked eye. In this graphic, satellite radar altimetry measurements reveal the sea surface signature of Kelvin waves, showing elevated sea surface heights in yellow and red/orange colors.
