Innovation Now

Tissue chips could help predict the effectiveness of medicine in humans.

Busy as a bee, or in this case, Astrobee. These robots are working hard on the International Space Station.

Music is as much a part of human nature as the drive to explore, so it’s no wonder music plays a role in space history.

These 3D printed sensors could be used for a variety of space applications.

NASA will join an international crew on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean this summer to prepare for future deep space missions.

The daring twins seem to have reached their limit. It has been over a month since engineers have heard from MarCO.

NASA is giving the public a chance to send their names, stenciled on a chip, to the Red Planet.

An innovative new product helps you heal faster in comfort.

Preparing food to eat in space is not an easy task. But high school students in Virginia have proven, for a second time, that they were up to the challenge.

The Open Source Rover created by engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab is a scaled down version of Curiosity you can build yourself.

NASA interns are working on a soft robot that changes shape as it works.

More than 500 miles of Kentucky’s northern border is defined by the Ohio River. But the Ohio and its tributaries are prone to flooding and the results can be disastrous.

NASA’s InSight Lander has recorded for the first time ever a marsquake, kicking off a new scientific field: Martian seismology!

A type of heat shield, or aeroshell, is needed to protect the spacecraft as they enter the atmosphere. And that rigid heat shield must fit inside the diameter of the rocket.

The Heat Flow and Physical Properties Package, or HP3, will measure how easily heat moves through the subsurface of Mars.

A small satellite designed to search for new planets beyond our solar system recently looked down at Earth to capture an image of California’s “City of Stars.”

NASA has shared a proud association with the late Charles M. Schultz and his American icon Snoopy since the Apollo missions began.

The DNA of the entire aviation industry is infused with NASA technology. And NASA flies with you, every time you take to the skies.

FAA engineers evaluate the data from heavy duty test vehicles to produce improved pavement design and establish standards for new materials used on runways.

LIDAR, which stands for light detection and ranging, is a remote sensing method, similar to radar. Instead of radio waves, light in the form of a pulsing laser is used to make precise measurements.
