https://www.youtube.com/embed/9Q-u6hqCu-Q?feature=oembed Research on travelling to the International Space Station aboard NASA’s SpaceX 33rd commercial resupply mission includes testing 3D bioprinting of an implantable medical device, observing the behaviour of engineered liver tissues, examining microgravity’s effects on bone-forming cells, and additional 3D printing of metal in space. The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft is scheduled to launch to the orbiting laboratory in late August. For nearly 25 years, the International Space Station has provided research capabilities used by scientists from over 110 countries to conduct more than 4,000 groundbreaking experiments in microgravity. Research conducted aboard the space station advances future space exploration – including missions to the Moon and Mars – and provides multiple benefits to humanity. Read more about some of the latest investigations headed to the orbiting lab. Scientists are creating an implantable device in microgravity that could support nerve...

Doreen ZudellEditorAug 13, 2025This summer, NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland hosted the NASA Glenn High School Engineering Institute, a free, work-based learning experience designed to prepare rising high school juniors and seniors for careers in the aerospace workforce. “The institute immerses students in NASA’s work, providing essential career readiness tools for future science, technology, engineering, and mathematics-focused academic and professional pursuits,” said Jerry Voltz of NASA Glenn’s Office of STEM Engagement. Throughout the five-day sessions (offered three separate weeks in July), students used authentic NASA mission content and collaborated with Glenn’s technical experts. They gained a deeper understanding of the engineering design process, developed practical engineering solutions to real-world challenges, and tested prototypes to address key mission areas such as:Acoustic dampening: How can we reduce noise pollution from jet engines?Power management and distribution: How can we...

Hundreds of residents of Kirawa, a community in Borno State displaced by Boko Haram insurgents, have cried out over their worsening living conditions after taking refuge in villages across the Cameroon border. The residents, who spoke with Punch on Tuesday, said they now spend the day in Nigeria but return to Cameroon at night to avoid possible midnight assaults. According to the villagers, the situation worsened following Saturday’s attack, which led to the withdrawal of troops from the community. Many displaced persons have now resorted to sleeping on roadsides, in mosques, and inside classrooms in the Cameroonian villages hosting them. The District Head of Kirawa, Abdulrahman Abubakar, confirmed the development and appealed to the government to urgently restore security in the area. He said, “We can no longer sleep with our two eyes closed, as our people now juggle between...

The lawmaker representing Nasarawa West in the 10th Senate, Senator Ahmed Aliyu Wadada, has hinted at leaving the Social Democratic Party (SDP) for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Naija News reports that Wadada dropped the hint on Tuesday after a closed-door meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. Although he has yet to make a formal declaration, the lawmaker said he already considers himself a member of the APC. While he did not give specific reasons for his planned defection, he suggested that current political realities might not favour his continued stay in the SDP. The senator expressed strong confidence in President Tinubu's political strength, insisting no opposition party would have the space or support to challenge his re-election bid. Wadada, while speaking with State House correspondents, said, “I am in the Senate under the platform...
