Innovation Now

A team at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center uses 3-D modeling software to create tangible models that bring astronomy to the blind.

We still need professional composers, songwriters, and musicians, but embracing AI technology might actually create the 21st century’s Mozart.

A transformer hitched to the back of a rover could unfold itself into an array of computer-controlled mirrors that would shed light on dark places on the moon.

When we send astronauts to the moon or to other planets for long stays, we’re going to need a new class of power that has never been needed before.

Sophisticated computer modeling can be used to look at everything that could happen, end-to-end, from the moment a spacecraft touches the atmosphere to the time it comes to rest on the surface of another planet.

Most of what we know about our place in the Universe has come from observations of the night sky from Earth. But stargazers are concerned with the number of places where light is interfering with our night view.

Jupiter's weather layer is more massive than expected, containing about one percent of Jupiter's total mass – Earth's is less than one millionth its mass.

A new ultraviolet detection system developed at NASA Langley in Hampton, Virginia, can be used to remotely monitor power lines.

The asteroid impact over Russia five years ago was a cosmic wake-up call - drawing worldwide attention to what needs to be done to detect asteroids before they strike our planet.
