KAIST and Seoul National University Bundang Hospital develop a wearable eyedrop patch designed for use in space. A reaction between vitamin C and baking soda delivers the eyedrops, without external pump or electrical device. Expected to support eye care for astronauts and for people who have difficulty applying eyedrops themselves, such as patients with Parkinson’s disease.

UNLV research shows that water can change its structure under the scrutiny of intense pressure, giving us an idea of its appearance on extraterrestrial worlds.

A long-overlooked particle may explain how matter defeated antimatter to build our universe after the Big Bang

A research team led by Professor Munchurl Kim of the School of Electrical Engineering develops ‘GeoCore-9B,’ an AI model specialized for satellite imagery.

The model is trained on 10 million pairs of satellite images and text descriptions from around the world, and it takes into account each image’s location and actual spatial scale.

The model applies knowledge learned from image generation to image restoration and conversion, and it is expected to support disaster response and environmental monitoring.

SAN ANTONIO — October 19, 2026 — Uranus and Neptune are often considered planetary twins due to their many similar characteristics, including size, mass and atmospheric conditions, and have long been thought to have pulled from the same cosmic reservoir of materials when forming. New research by an international team of scientists, including Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) staff, suggests the ice giants have significantly different chemical origins despite their similarities.

The gas orbiting Sagittarius A (Sgr A*), the supermassive black hole at the centre of the Milky Way galaxy, is rich in metals, researchers at McGill University’s Trottier Space Institute have found. The metal enrichment probably resulted from stars that exploded and released material into the black hole's surroundings over time, they said.  

As Earth’s orbital traffic reaches an all-time high, a West Virginia University researcher is working to sharpen space weather forecasting, and protect satellites and the services that depend on them from devastating solar disruptions.

Diamond Light Source scientists identify natron as a key target for future Enceladus missions. Synchrotron X-rays uncover fluid-filled inclusions in a mineral that could preserve clues to the Saturn moon’s subsurface ocean.
