New Algorithm Can Identify Pre-Alzheimer's Brain Changes With Over 99% Accuracy
One of the most important ways in which artificial intelligence algorithms are proving beneficial is in diagnosing disease much faster than mere human beings can – and a new system for detecting potential indicators of Alzheimer's has reached clo
The James Webb telescope has a real launch date
The telescope is ready. So is the rocket. It's time.
NASA announced in August that the James Webb Space Telescope had passed its final ground-based tests and was being prepared for shipment to its launch site in Kourou, French Guiana. Now, the oft-delayed, $10 billion telescope has an official launch date: December 18, 2021.

Rerun of supernova blast expected to appear in 2037
It's challenging to make predictions, especially in astronomy. There are however, a few forecasts astronomers can depend on, such as the timing of upcoming lunar and solar eclipses and the clockwork return ...
Join us live on Thursday at 14:30 UTC to watch a webinar about the achievements and discoveries of NASA's latest rover mission as well as their implications for future research.
In February 2021, NASA’s Mars 2020 Perseverance rover landed in Jezero crater, the site of an ancient lake. The mission seeks to discover signs of ancient martian life, and will collect rock, soil, and atmospheric samples for possible return to Earth. Perseverance and its field partner—the Ingenuity helicopter—have been actively exploring Jezero crater for several months, successfully coring the mission’s first rock sample. Multiple distinct geologic units have been characterized through these investigations, each containing information about the environmental history, habitability, and planetary evolution of Mars.

Scientists Built a New Kind of Invisibility Cloak, But It's Not For Your Eyes
Sound waves don't always hit our ears directly – they can also bounce off other objects and the walls of the space that we're in, which is why listening to a band play in a cavernous cathedral is a different experience to listening in a small mus

SpaceX is targeting a five-hour launch window on Thursday, September 16 at 00:02 UTC for launch of the Inspiration4 mission – the world’s first all-civilian human spaceflight to orbit – aboard SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft from historic Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Approximately three days after liftoff, Dragon and the Inspiration4 crew will return to Earth and splash down at one of several possible landing sites off the Florida coast.
