The ISS May Be Too Clean For Its Own Good!

2 weeks ago | dogonews.com | John Woo

With advanced air filters and strict cleaning routines, the International Space Station (ISS) is one of the cleanest places beyond Earth. Yet astronauts often experience a range of health issues while aboard. A new study suggests that one reason may be that the ISS is too clean! For their research, Rodolfo Benitez and his team at UC San Diego asked astronauts to wipe different parts of the ISS to collect samples. This included the kitchen, bathroom, and eating area.
Colossal Biosciences Edges Closer to Reviving the Woolly Mammoth with "Woolly Mice"

Colossal Biosciences is on a quest to bring back the woolly mammoth. On March 1, 2025, the Texas-based startup came one step closer to its goal with the creation of genetically-modified "woolly mice." Featuring thick, golden fur and curled whiskers, the rodents have characteristics similar to those of the woolly mammoth. The team led by Beth Shapiro started by finding the genes that made mammoths unique.
The Companies Behind NASA’s Ambitious Plan for Human Settlements On The Moon

NASA’s Artemis program aims to establish a sustainable human presence near the Moon's south pole. It began with Artemis I, an uncrewed test flight in 2022. The Artemis II is expected to launch in September 2025. This crewed mission will orbit the Moon to test the spacecraft's capabilities. If all goes well, Artemis III, set for 2026, will land the first humans on the Moon since the 1970s. In past missions, astronauts briefly set foot on the lunar surface before returning home.
166-Million-Year-Old Dinosaur Footprints Unearthed In England

An observant quarry worker at Dewars Farm Quarry in England has helped uncover hundreds of dinosaur footprints. The fossils date back to the Middle Jurassic period (around 166 million years ago). They belong to some of the United Kingdom's largest dinosaurs and offer new insights into their movement patterns. Gary Johnson first noticed the "strange bumps" in June 2024 while stripping the clay that covered them. He was trying to expose the quarry floor.
A Plastic That Fully Decomposes In Soil And Seawater

2 months ago | dogonews.com | Shariqua Ahmed

Plastic pollution is one of the world's most pressing environmental challenges. A large portion of the 400 million tons of plastic produced annually ends up in landfills or the ocean. Unlike organic waste, conventional plastic never decomposes. Instead, it breaks down into tiny pieces called microplastics. These particles contaminate water, soil, and air, harming marine life, livestock, and even humans.
Boom Supersonic's XB-1 Breaks Sound Barrier In Two Historic Test Flights

2 months ago | dogonews.com | John Woo

On January 28, 2025, XB-1, an experimental aircraft built by US company Boom Supersonic, became the first privately built jet to fly faster than the speed of sound. To prove this was not a fluke, test pilot Tristan Brandenburg flew around for two more supersonic runs over California’s Mojave Desert before returning to land. He repeated the feat with another test flight on February 10, 2025. Once again, the aircraft broke the sound barrier three times.

This Electric Bike Camouflages As A Telecom Box

Jan 22, 2025 | dogonews.com | John Woo

A Michigan-based designer has built an electric scooter that disguises as a telecom box. Nomoto — short for "No motorcycle here" — is the brainchild of Joey Ruiter. This innovative prototype is designed to outsmart bike thieves. It blends seamlessly into the urban landscape. “I wanted to create a piece that is museum-worthy that’s completely unnoticeable and so familiar, you’re just going to walk past it,” Ruiter said. When parked, Nomoto's handlebars are hidden behind a drop-down cover.
Researchers Find Tadpole Fossil Dating Back 161 Million Years!

Jan 17, 2025 | dogonews.com | Shariqua Ahmed

A team of scientists looking for dinosaur fossils in 2020 made a rare discovery. They found a well-preserved tadpoledating back 161 million years to the middle Jurassic period. This discovery breaks the record for the oldest known tadpole fossil by about 20 million years! The ancient amphibian was found in Argentina's Santa Cruz Province. Encased inside a limestone slab, it was astonishingly intact. It even had eyeballs, gills, and nerves.
Wildfires Cause Widespread Destruction In Los Angeles
