The White House has announced that NASA will work with the Departments of Defense and Energy to put nuclear reactors in orbit and on the surface of the moon.

In a letter obtained by WIRED, the Energy Information Administration tells two senators that it plans to develop a mandatory assessment of data centers' energy use.

From lava tubes on Mars to ice pockets on Europa, subterranean environments may offer the best chance of finding life—and living safely—beyond our planet.

As ships return to the Strait of Hormuz, mines, sonar, and congestion continue to reshape the Gulf beneath the surface.

The viral infection leaves millions with chronic pain, increased stroke risk, and lifelong nerve damage—yet vaccination rates remain dangerously low.

Scientists have quantified what draws mosquitoes to people—which could help make better, life-saving bug traps.

After traveling a greater distance from Earth than any humans before them, the astronauts of Artemis II have safely returned home.

Entire space programs have been canceled after a failure in the reentry phase. In the final test for Artemis II, astronauts will travel at 32 times the speed of sound as they return from the moon.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s sweeping changes to federal vaccine guidance are paused for now. But even if they’re reversed, lasting damage has already been done.

Splashdown for the Artemis II crew is scheduled for Friday evening, and NASA will livestream the historic homecoming.

The moon gets hit by space debris all the time, but some of it is so large that the impact generates light that can be seen thousands of kilometers away.

The first images from Artemis II reveal what the moon looks like just 7,000 km from the surface—and confirm that NASA is ready to return to Earth’s satellite.

The Gulf’s water system is built with layers of backup, but it relies on continuous operation to hold.

Artemis II remains on course for its lunar flyby as the crew shares historic photos of Earth, tests key systems for future lunar missions, and attempts to fix the toilet.

The moon is not just a barren rock orbiting the Earth. The Artemis missions could answer the great unknowns that the satellite holds.

The astronauts will arrive about 10,300 kilometers beyond our satellite, breaking all previous records for distance from Earth. But how was their route chosen?

Researchers have developed a method of making french fries that results in a healthier bite without sacrificing crispiness.

Documents show that one of Google’s new data centers would be powered by a natural gas plant that emits millions of tons of emissions each year—an increasingly common trend in the industry.

As strikes continue on Iran’s nuclear facilities, the real danger isn’t the explosion, but what happens if critical safety systems fail—and how that risk could spread across the Gulf.

Epia Neuro’s brain-computer interface will include a motorized glove to help stroke patients recover movement in their hand.
