NASA and Redwire Space successfully deployed a massive solar sail in a test, potentially paving the way for this revolutionary propulsion technology to be used for deep space transportation.

QuEra has dramatically reduced the error rate in qubits — with its first commercially available machine using this technology launching with 256 physical qubits and 10 logical qubits.

AI continues to prove successful as an important tool for fire weather forecasters, both with thunderstorm prediction and increasing situational awareness for active fires caused by lightning.

Walking robots might populate Mars one day, but first they need some practice on Earth. Dog-like robot Bert explored an alien-like terrain with an ISS astronaut at the controls.

The aircraft can cruise at 120 mph at an altitude of up to 1,500 feet — and it's much quieter than a helicopter.

As the Mars Ingenuity helicopter continues to soar, an early-stage Red Planet craft is in the works. The first fixed-wing plane on Mars would seek water — and perhaps life.

Venus Aerospace partners with NASA to advance hypersonic engine reliability and efficiency through a revolutionary new rotating detonation rocket engine.

Through its NIAC program, NASA has awarded funding to 13 innovative space technology concepts that could shape future missions to Venus, Mars and worlds beyond our solar system.

DARPA and Aurora Flight Sciences have begun building the first full-scale X-65 aircraft to demonstrate a new method of flight control that uses no external moving parts.
