NIH and NASA launch QuSAFE Challenge using quantum sensing to improve drug safety testing

·1 views

The National Institutes of Health and NASA have jointly launched the QuSAFE Challenge, which applies quantum-enabled sensing to new approach methodologies. The initiative focuses on in vitro systems such as organoids and microphysiological systems. Its aim is to strengthen drug safety assessment while cutting down on the use of animals in testing. The effort reflects a collaboration between a biomedical research agency and a space agency to bring advanced sensing technology into preclinical research.

NASA-Funded Study Dates a Rose-Colored Sahara Meteorite as Ancient Martian Rock

A rose-colored meteorite discovered in the Sahara Desert in 2022 initially had an unknown origin and age. NASA-funded scientists later dated its minerals and found that the roughly 800-gram rock came from Mars. Its formation more than 4.1 billion years ago places it among the oldest known Martian meteorites. The findings help researchers understand the planet's earliest geological history. The study underscores how desert finds can yield significant insights into the Red Planet.

NASA invites the public to send names to Titan aboard its Dragonfly mission

NASA is inviting people to have their names carried to Saturn's moon Titan on its Dragonfly rotorcraft mission. Although most people will never visit Titan's hazy skies or organic sand dunes, participants can have their names travel there instead. The opportunity is open to the public through an agency name submission campaign. The article is a Spanish-language version of an NASA release, which also has an English version.
