Bell Labs built a giant antenna in Holmdel, New Jersey, in 1960. It was part of a very early satellite transmission system called Echo. By collecting and amplifying weak radio signals bounced off ...
Mars is not just a colder, dustier version of Earth. It is a planet soaked in high‑energy particles that batter rock, metal, ...
It is still a glimpse into the future: Astronauts could be put into artificial hibernation and in this state be better protected from cosmic radiation. At present, there are already promising ...
