New Research Identifies Moonquake Dangers That Could Threaten Future Lunar Missions

A recent study found that ground shaking caused by moonquakes, not meteorite impacts, was responsible for altering the terrain in the Taurus-Littrow valley, the site of the Apollo 17 landing in 1972. The research also identified a likely source of these surface changes and evaluated the potential hazards by applying new seismic models, with results that carry important implications for both future lunar exploration and the development of permanent bases on the Moon.

The paper authored by Smithsonian Senior Scientist Emeritus Thomas R. Watters and University of Maryland Associate Professor of Geology Nicholas Schmerr was published in the journal Science Advances.

“Very Strange” — Saturn’s Moon Titan Is Behaving Unusually

Titan’s atmosphere tilts and shifts seasonally. The discovery shapes future exploration. Researchers at the University of Bristol have uncovered unusual behavior in Titan’s atmosphere for the first time. Using data from the Cassini-Huygens mission, a collaboration between NASA, the European Sp

New method enables simultaneous synthesis of all 21 types of tRNA in vitro

Collaborative research by the University of Tokyo and RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research has led to the development of a new method for simultaneously synthesizing all transfer RNA (tRNA) required for protein synthesis in a reconstituted translation system in vitro.

Earth’s Ancient Shield: Scientists Crack the Billion-Year-Old Mystery of the Magnetic Field

A new model uncovers how Earth’s liquid core has sustained its magnetic field since the planet’s beginnings, offering new insights into its future. Earth benefits from the presence of a magnetic field, which acts as a shield against harmful cosmic radiation and makes life possible. In contrast, p

Scientists achieve electrically driven perovskite laser using dual-cavity design

In a recent Nature study, scientists have demonstrated an electrically driven perovskite laser using a dual-cavity design, addressing a challenge that has persisted in the field for over a decade.

The dual-cavity laser device developed by a team from Zhejiang University shows a lasing threshold an order of magnitude lower than state-of-the-art electrically driven organic lasers and offers superior operational stability with rapid modulation capabilities.

Phys.org spoke with the research team about their work.
