đ« Meet the area of science that even Albert Einstein himself called âspookyâ: quantum entanglement! đ€Ż
Classical physics is the force governing an extremely predictable world, where an apple set on a table stays there until something causes it to move again.
In the quantum world, not only can the apple end up on Mars, but, hypothetically, it could exist both on the table and on Mars at the same time. It could even be inextricably tied to another apple in some other part of the universe through entanglement. Thus, ârealityâ as we know it is much more uncertain, with the possibility for many solutions or outcomes to exist, rather than just one.
Quantum entanglement remains a spooky part of our world. Check out the resources below to learn more about how NASA scientists are working to unravel the mysteries of our quantum universe.

Prof. Mitch LIâs team from the Division of Integrative Systems and Design (ISD) was cordially invited to be the guest speaker of âMembersâ Day: Sci-Fi or not?â, organized by Hong Kong Science Museum on Mar 28, 2024 to showcase the innovative 3D food printing technology.
However, their reliance on extremely low temperatures has limited their practical applications. Now, scientists may be one step closer to breaking that barrier.
In groundbreaking research led by Professor Kostya Trachenko of the Queen Mary University of London, the maximum temperature at which superconductors can operate has been linked to fundamental constants of nature, such as the electron mass, electron charge, and the Planck constant.
These constants, essential for atomic stability and star formation, set the upper limit for superconducting temperatures between hundreds and a thousand Kelvin. Encouragingly, this range includes room temperature.
For decades, exercise was considered an optional part of cancer careâsomething beneficial for general health but not essential. The evidence is now overwhelming: exercise is not just supportiveâitâs a therapeutic intervention that recalibrates tumor biology, enhances treatment tolerance, and improves survival outcomes.
With over 600 peer-reviewed studies, Dr. Kerry Courneyaâs work has fundamentally reshaped our understanding of how structured exerciseâwhether aerobic, resistance training, or high-intensity intervalsâcan mitigate treatment side effects, enhance immune function, and directly influence cancer progression.

Inland waters consist of multiple concentrations of constituents, and solving the interference problem of chlorophyll-a and colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) can help to accurately invert total suspended matter concentration (Ctsm). In this study, according to the characteristics of the Multispectral Imager for Inshore (MII) equipped with the first Sustainable Development Goals Science Satellite (SDGSAT-1), an iterative inversion model was established based on the iterative analysis of multiple linear regression to estimate Ctsm. The Hydrolight radiative transfer model was used to simulate the radiative transfer process of Lake Taihu, and it analyzed the effect of three component concentrations on remote sensing reflectance.
Reasoning about the physical world enables people to successfully interact with and manipulate their environment. In this Review, Hartshorne and Jing bridge findings from education, developmental psychology and cognitive science and discuss how best to reconcile these approaches going forward.
Firefly Aerospaceâs Blue Ghost lunar lander is set to make history as it targets a March 2 lunar landing near Mare Crisium, a vast plain on the Moonâs near side. Carrying NASAâs cutting-edge science and technology, this mission marks another crucial step in humanityâs return to the Moon under the Artemis program. As part of NASAâs CLPS initiative, Blue Ghostâs success will pave the way for future lunar and Martian exploration.
Mission Overview: Blue Ghostâs Lunar Delivery. Launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 on January 15, Blue Ghost carries 10 NASA payloads designed to investigate the Moonâs environment and test new technologies for future missions. These experiments will provide critical data on lunar surface conditions, radiation levels, thermal properties, and advanced landing systemsâall essential for upcoming crewed missions.
Live Landing Coverage & Key Moments. The landing event, hosted by NASA and Firefly Aerospace, will be streamed live on NASA+ and Fireflyâs YouTube channel starting at 2:20 a.m. EST on March 2, roughly 75 minutes before touchdown. The stream will cover the final descent, landing confirmation, and initial mission updates. A post-landing press conference will follow, where experts will discuss the missionâs success and upcoming science operations on the lunar surface.
Why This Mission Matters. Blue Ghost is a key part of NASAâs Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program, which enables private companies to deliver science and technology to the Moon. These robotic landings will support Artemis astronauts, testing vital systems for future long-term lunar habitation and, ultimately, crewed missions to Mars. NASAâs collaboration with companies like Firefly Aerospace ensures rapid progress in space exploration, resource utilization, and sustainable lunar development.
The Future of Lunar Exploration. With CLPS contracts valued at $2.6 billion through 2028, NASA is committed to building a strong commercial space ecosystem. The $101.5 million contract awarded to Firefly for this mission underscores the agencyâs dedication to fostering innovative, cost-effective lunar transportation solutions. Future missions will refine navigation, in-situ resource utilization, and long-duration surface operations, bringing us closer to a permanent human presence beyond Earth.
