Glioblastoma is the diagnosis no one wants to get. Due to its rapid and invasive growth, combined with resistance to common forms of treatment, this most aggressive form of brain cancer often leaves patients with only a few months to live. Ongoing research is trying to change that. A team of scientists from McMaster University

Climate change in recent years has fueled migration worldwide. Floods in Pakistan have forced millions from their homes, while the island nation of Kiribati’s entire existence is in doubt due to rising sea levels, according to NASA. A new study suggests that mass migration due to changing climates is not a new occurrence. The research

A new NASA study of its Apollo lunar soils clarifies the Moon’s record of meteorite impacts and timing of water delivery. These findings place upper bounds on how much water meteorites could have supplied later in Earth’s history. Research has previously shown that meteorites may have been a significant source of Earth’s water as they

Lee Mohon Jan 23, 2026 Like a recording artist who has had a long career, NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory has a “back catalog” of cosmic recordings that is impossible to replicate. To access these X-ray tracks, or observations, the ultimate compendium has been developed: the Chandra Source Catalog (CSC). The CSC contains the X-ray data detected up to the end of

106th American Meteorological Society (AMS) Meeting, January 25 - 29, 2026 Join NASA in the Exhibit Hall (Booth #323) for Hyperwall Storytelling by NASA experts. Full Hyperwall Agenda below. MONDAY, JANUARY 26 6:05 - 6:20 PM Expanding Discovery from Earth Science Missions in Space  Highlights of NASA Earth Science Missions to Advance Research, Data, Models

At the heart of our own galaxy, there is a dense thicket of stars with a supermassive black hole at the very center. NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will provide the deepest-ever view of this zone, revealing stars, planets, and unique objects that resist definition. Based on the input of astronomers from across the

NASA successfully conducted a hot fire of RS-25 engine No. 2063 on Jan. 22 at the Fred Haise Test Stand at NASA’s Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, clearing the way for the engine to be installed for the agency’s Artemis IV mission.   The RS-25 engines help power NASA’s SLS (Space Launch

vision for healthcare in America Healthcare broken: Americans pay double what other nations for inferior outcomes. Drugs cost 10× more in US. Trump’s demanded most-favored-nation pricing (negotiate lower prices like other countries pay). Pressure pharma without killing innovation (make offers that they cannot refuse). Goal is affordability + access. Think healthcare as investment (extra work

The cost of infrastructure build-out, energy challenges Massive data center/GPU buildout driven by real demand (no “dark GPUs”—all utilized for tokens/AI apps like chatbots/coding). Unlike dot-com fiber overbuild (unused “dark fiber”), current demand sustains growth; added ~2% to 2025 GDP, expected similar in 2026. Trump’s AI plan has 3 pillars—out-innovate, build infrastructure, export U.S. tech

Future of AI copilots and agents, impact on white collar work Nadella discusses Microsoft’s Copilot evolution: started with GitHub Copilot (code suggestions), expanded to desktop/Windows, and now includes chat, actions, and autonomous agents (foreground/background, local/cloud). He uses coding as the prime knowledge-work example: from next-edit suggestions → chat → actions → full agents. Vision: AI
