Space offers abundant sunlight and a new frontier for AI computing. But before companies can move massive data centers into orbit, they must solve a problem that challenges even the best engineers: getting rid of heat. Imagine a data center…
2026 CDO Report: Meet the Modern Data Team New survey of VP & C-level data and AI leaders confirms what’s stalling AI transformation. US Federal News Bureau Written by: Tathagata Sen Updated 4:08 PM EDT, October 12, 2026 NASA is moving to treat data and…
Caroline Austin is floating up from her airplane seat toward the ceiling. And so is everyone else on the flight. Austin, an aerospace PhD student, is experiencing microgravity as part of a parabolic flight campaign. She is part of a…
Uncovering the hidden science behind contrails and how technology is rewriting the future of our skies. The next time … The Mystery of White Streaks in the Sky: How Airplanes Silently Shape Our Climate Uncovering the hidden science behind contrails and…
Words by Oliver Milman Our world is already beset by a climate crisis, galloping biodiversity loss, and a plague of plastic that has reached nearly every waterway and mountaintop. It may be unfortunate timing, then, that another—and perhaps final…
The commercial placements are: Add The Scientist as a preferred Google source to see more of our trusted coverage. Miles away from the closest ocean, marine microbes thrive in the red ice and mud around Blood Falls, offering clues to…
An analysis of 149 tethered balloon flights during the DOE TRACER campaign over Houston reveals how marine, mixed, and urban air masses create distinct vertical profiles of aerosols and cloud condensation nuclei, and shows that the same mesoscale weather systems that…
This is where Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) offers a paradigm shift. By shifting the computational burden entirely to an offline training phase, a neural network can learn an end-to-end control policy that maps raw telemetry directly to actuator throttles. In…
A good practice guide on visualising Earth observation data is now available The aim was to encourage more people to access and work with Copernicus and EUMETSAT Earth observation data and services. The webinars involved data journalists from many news…
New CORSIKA simulations at four high-altitude observatories show that adding an explicit air-density dependence to runaway electron avalanche scaling raises the fit quality from R-squared 0.90 to 0.99 and recalibrates how electrons and gamma rays travel to ground-based detectors.
