Gladys West, the mathematician and technologist whose work was key to the creation of the Global Positioning System (GPS), has died at the age of 95. She passed away on Saturday, January 17. West was ...

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Space Force has ended an exploratory effort to add smaller, lower-cost navigation satellites to bolster the Global Positioning System, shelving a program that had been identified ...

The inaccuracy of the speedometers used by most vehicles, even those in cars with the coolest gauge clusters, is well known. The good news is that most speedometers report speeds higher than the ...

Using a blend of computer modeling, structural and cell-based studies, scientists at The Wertheim UF Scripps Institute have designed a group of potential diabetes drugs that reprogram ...

In September 2025, a Widerøe Airlines flight was trying to land in Vardø, Norway, which sits in the country’s far eastern arm, some 40 miles from the Russian coast. The cloud deck was low, and so was ...

The rise of GPS vulnerability is putting more resilient, atom-based navigational tools on the map. In late September, a Spanish military plane carrying the country’s defense minister to a base in ...

Our everyday GPS struggles in “urban canyons,” where skyscrapers bounce satellite signals, confusing even advanced navigation systems. NTNU scientists created SmartNav, combining satellite corrections ...

GRIFFITH, Australia—At a tiny airport in the Australian countryside last month, a small plane took off carrying a device that could transform how U.S. drones, aircraft and ships navigate across future ...

GPS trackers and AirTags look like they do the same thing. They don’t. One is a live-positioning tool; the other is a Bluetooth breadcrumb. A GPS tracker talks directly to satellites orbiting 12,000 ...

Two teams of researchers have developed a cell reprogramming technology that converts rogue disease-causing T cells from our immune system into protective T reg cells. These cells help ensure that the ...

The cost of sequencing DNA has dropped dramatically, and with technologies like CRISPR, gene editing is becoming more precise and powerful than ever. From curing genetic diseases to designing the next ...
