When the US Air Force's X-37B autonomous spaceplane launched into orbit for the sixth time this week, it was carrying an experiment to explore the potential for beaming solar energy from space to ...

New research documents the attempts of the Borexino experiment to measure low-energy neutrinos from the sun's carbon-nitrogen-oxygen (CNO) cycle for the first time. Neutrinos are chargeless particles ...

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) collaboration has presented its latest results based on the analysis of 41 billion particles detected with the space-based AMS detector aboard the International ...

The Parker Solar Probe, partly designed by students and researchers in Colorado, survived its closest encounter with our sun late last week, passing a mere 3.8 million miles from its surface. The ...

In an experiment that tested technology that could one day be used to transmit solar energy from satellites to Earth, researchers beamed solar energy from one Hawaiian island to another, across a ...

The California Institute of Technology has been hard at work exploring the prospect of harvesting solar power from space. A new experiment just confirmed that it can be wirelessly transferred back to ...
