NASA’s LRO Images Falcon 9 Crater on Moon, Learns New Details
A SpaceX Falcon 9 upper stage created a new crater on the Moon after impacting the surface on August 5, following its January 2025 launch. NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter captured images of the crater between August 11 and 12.

Researchers developed a laser stability method that enables precise control of electric fields in light to manipulate individual electron dynamics. The Attosecond Microscopy research group at the University of Oldenburg's Institute of Physics, led by Dr. Jan Vogelsang, advanced this technique for controlling electrons at extremely small timescales.
Topography controls how mountains respond to large earthquakes
Large earthquakes trigger thousands of landslides that reshape mountain landscapes and accelerate erosion rates. Mountain regions show varying erosion responses to earthquakes depending on topography, with some areas experiencing intense long-lasting effects while others show limited responses.
Some bacteria build internal 'power cables' to extend respiration beyond the cell membrane
Some bacteria construct internal protein filaments that extend their respiration machinery beyond the cell membrane, allowing energy generation in multiple cellular locations. This discovery challenges the previous assumption that a cell's energy capacity depends solely on membrane surface area.
