A Michigan State chemist made gummy bears out of a wind turbine blade and ate them, because the resin his team designed dissolves in an alkaline solution into food-grade potassium lactate — a chemistry built so the 170-foot blades now being sawed up and buried can end as candy, plexiglass or new blades instead
7+ hour, 24+ min ago (401+ words) The sentence that carried the discovery around the world came from a chemical engineer named John Dorgan: "We recovered food-grade potassium lactate and used it to make gummy bear candies, which I ate. By Space Daily Editorial Team Published September…...
After more than 50 years, a solar telescope in New Mexico is being pulled down, after liquid mercury from the bearing that let its 250-ton optical system turn was found inside the tower. Crews found the metal on January 5.
3+ day, 7+ hour ago (575+ words) By The Daily Orbit Published September 11, 2026 · How we edit A solar telescope in New Mexico is being torn down, and the reason is a pool of liquid mercury hidden inside it. The mercury was the clever trick that made the…...
NASA lost a $125 million spacecraft at Mars because one engineering team used English units while another expected metric — the mismatch quietly pushed the orbiter onto the wrong trajectory after nine months in space
3+ day, 18+ hour ago (231+ words) A decade of planning and a quarter-billion dollars in funding vanished in seconds when two teams speaking different measurement languages sent a spacecraft crashing into Mars....
A railroad causeway built across Utah’s Great Salt Lake nearly divided it into two separate bodies of water with radically different salinity — today the north side can appear pink-purple while the south remains blue-green
3+ day, 22+ hour ago (596+ words) By Space Daily Editorial Team Published September 10, 2026 · How we edit Fly over northern Utah on a clear afternoon and the water below looks like two paint tins spilled side by side and never stirred. Blue-green on one side of a…...
The United States is replacing every official latitude, longitude and height it publishes, existing coordinates will move by as much as four meters, and the million survey marks in the ground will no longer be what the system is measured from
4+ day, 23+ min ago (43+ words) The National Geodetic Survey has spent years building a replacement for the reference system that fixes every published position in the country. New geodetic-control submissions into the old system stop being accepted after January 13, 2027....
Finnish engineers packed 2,000 tonnes of crushed stone left over from making fireplaces into a giant “sand battery” — electricity heats the material, which stores enough energy to cover roughly a week of winter demand on a local heating network
4+ day, 1+ hour ago (53+ words) A Finnish village discovered that waste rock and off-peak electricity could replace expensive fossil fuels through winter, offering a low-tech alternative to battery storage that scales far beyond lithium....
MIT engineers made water filters from slices of tree branches that removed more than 99% of E. coli and rotavirus in lab tests — after trials in India, the team designed a gravity-fed prototype that could filter a liter of water an hour
4+ day, 1+ hour ago (496+ words) As water crises worsen in developing nations, MIT researchers discovered that nature had already engineered the solution—hidden inside tree branches that cost nearly nothing to harvest....
For decades visitors tossed coins and trash into Yellowstone's Morning Glory Pool, and the debris clogged its vent and cooled the water — the spring named for its deep blue now runs green and orange, and rangers say the original color may never come back
4+ day, 5+ hour ago (484+ words) A century of coins and trash transformed one of Yellowstone's most iconic hot springs from brilliant blue to murky green and orange—and scientists say the damage may be permanent. Published September 10, 2026 · How we edit It is also a crime…...
Hoover Dam was cast in columns because one solid pour would take 125 years to reach air temperature
4+ day, 8+ hour ago (633+ words) Bureau of Reclamation engineers worked out that a single continuous pour would have needed 125 years to cool to the temperature of the surrounding air, and that the stresses would have cracked the dam apart. The answer was an estimated 215 blocks,…...
Researchers placed 650 geophones along Yellowstone's roads and sent a vibrating truck to 110 different spots to deliberately shake America's most-visited supervolcano, and the echoes revealed a layer 2.4 miles down that is roughly 86 percent solid rock.
4+ day, 14+ hour ago (177+ words) What lies beneath Yellowstone's surface—and how close is the molten rock to breaking through?
