It is clear that as demand for minerals surges due to green energy transition, asteroids could offer a virtually limitless ...

From asteroid mining and doctors operating using holograms, to people being able to use an implanted microchip in their arm ...

The short-lived robots used the low-gravity conditions on Ryugu to hop across the asteroid’s surface for a day to beam back pictures to Earth. Since the mission’s success, scientists and space ...

Scientists checked whether the robot and its newly developed control system could potentially manoeuvre in low-gravity celestial environments like asteroids. Japan’s Hayabusa2 spacecraft snapped ...

The short-lived robots used the low-gravity conditions on Ryugu to hop across the asteroid’s surface for a day to beam back pictures to Earth. What if we nuked an asteroid? Since the mission’s ...

The BBC programme, which is no longer broadcast, featured Professor Stephen Hawking, who said that by 2025 “we can expect big ...

In 2018, Japan made history by landing two cookie jar-sized jumping rovers onto the rocky asteroid Ryugu about 280 million km (170 million miles) away from Earth. The short-lived robots used the ...
