New Exosuit with Artificial Muscles Aims to Revolutionize Space Walks
New Exosuit with Artificial Muscles Could Change Space Exploration Generations of astronauts have described the challenge of moving inside a pressurized suit. The very protection that keeps them alive — pressurization — also creates resistance that can sap strength and slow deliberate movement. A new exosuit, tested during a two-week space analog mission in Australia,…

Exosuit with Artificial Muscles Aims to Revolutionize Moon and Mars Exploration
New exosuit brings artificial muscles to space exploration For generations, astronauts have endured the physical strain of space suits that shield the body but resist movement. Pressurized layers keep astronauts safe in hostile environments, yet they make everyday tasks feel like moving through thick syrup. A bold answer to this paradox arrives in the form…

Heat at Enceladus: A Lifesupport Case for Saturn’s Ocean Moon
H2: Enceladus’ Hidden Heat: What the Discovery Means Recent analyses of data from Cassini-era observations and newer modeling indicate that excess heat is flowing from the north polar region of Enceladus, one of Saturn’s most intriguing icy moons. This excess heat helps balance the moon’s internal energy budget and suggests the subsurface ocean beneath the…
