Measuring Moon Dust to Fight Air Pollution – NASA

Moon dust, or regolith, isn’t like the particles on Earth that collect on bookshelves or tabletops – it’s abrasive and it clings to everything. Throughout NASA’s Apollo missions to the Moon, regolith posed a challenge to astronauts and valuable space hardware. During the Apollo 17 mission, astronaut Harrison Schmitt described his reaction to breathing in […]

NASA Fosters Innovative Far-Out Tech

Through the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) program, NASA nurtures visionary yet credible concepts that could one day “change the possible” in aerospace, while engaging America’s innovators and entrepreneurs as partners in the journey.   These concepts span various disciplines and aim to advance capabilities such as finding resources on distant planets, making space travel safer […]

Technique rapidly measures cells’ density, reflecting health and developmental state

The method could help predict whether immunotherapies will work in a patient or how a tumor will respond to drug treatment.

A prosthesis driven by the nervous system helps people with amputation walk naturally

A new surgical procedure gives people more neural feedback from their residual limb. With it, seven patients walked more naturally and navigated obstacles.
