In 2007, ESA sent 3,000 tardigrades into low Earth orbit; after 10 days of vacuum and UV-A/UV-B exposure, 68% revived upon rehydrationKnown for their resilience, tardigrades have astonishingly withstood the harsh conditions of outer space. Their unique protein showcases an...
In 1976, a theoretical physicist pushed Caltech toward building a machine to detect Einstein’s gravitational waves - 39 years later, black-hole-hunting LIGO heard their ripples, and by 2017, the Interstellar science adviser wept before the man who predicted them while receiving the Nobel PrizeKip Thorne, an illustrious physicist, chased the elusive gravitational waves predicted by Einstein for many years. His commitment yielded t...
