NASA, General Atomics Test Nuclear Fuel for Faster Mars Missions
NASA and General Atomics conducted key tests on nuclear reactor fuel at Marshall Space Flight Center. The fuel was exposed to extreme temperatures to assess its viability for nuclear thermal propulsion. With successful results, the technology could enable faster space travel, reducing risks for astronauts on long-duration missions. NASA and DARPA a...

Groundbreaking Propulsion Method Using Relativistic Electron Beams Could Enable Interstellar Travel
A new propulsion method, using relativistic electron beams, could make interstellar travel feasible within a human lifetime. Researchers Jeff Greason and Gerrit Bruhaug have proposed accelerating electrons to near light speed to deliver kinetic energy to spacecraft. This method could enable probes to reach 10% of the speed of light, drastically red...

Researchers Explain Why Jet Lag Can Be Worse When You Travel East
Humans have been fighting jet lag for some 50 years. In that time we've cast far and wide for tricks to rejigger sleep cycles disrupted by airplanes. There are dubious herbal supplements and, more dubiously, earbuds that blast light toward the brain. Sleep experts suggest soaking up finely portioned amounts of sunlight, with more light early in the...
