A marvel of the “Dune” sci-fi film franchise is the survival outfit worn by the desert-dwelling Fremen — “stillsuits” that recycle all bodily fluids into potable water. Now, such technology appears to be on the horizon, with scientists unveiling a prototype spacesuit system that turns urine into drinking water. Astronauts can spend a considerable amount of time outside their space habitat doing extra-vehicular activities, or EVAs. There were 37 spacewalks conducted between 2021 and 2023 for either scientific experiments or to carry out repairs on the International Space Station, and they lasted an average of 6 hours and 26 minutes, according to a study by scientists at Cornell University published Friday in the journal Frontiers in Space Technology. Spacewalks can last up to more than 8 hours.

Sex and gender are often conflated or equated in everyday conversations, and most American adults believe a person’s gender is determined by sex assigned at birth. But a new study of nearly 5,000 9- and 10-year-olds found that sex and gender map onto largely distinct parts of the brain. The research gives a first insight into how sex and gender may have “measurable and unique influences” on the brain, study authors said, just as other experiences have been shown to shape the brain.

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a stunning new view of two galaxies, nicknamed the Penguin and the Egg, locked in a cosmic dance to mark the observatory’s second anniversary. Launched on December 25, 2021, the Webb telescope shared its first science observations of the universe on July 12, 2022. Since then, the premier observatory has offered unprecedented perspectives of the cosmos across wavelengths of infrared light, which is invisible to the human eye.

Melissa Wolf’s clients come in all shapes and sizes. Some have two legs, some have four. All of them need a second chance. Wolf is the founder of UnChained, a nonprofit in northern California that pairs vulnerable young people, often living in juvenile correction facilities, with abandoned or abused dogs that have been rescued from shelters. The youth learn to train the dogs in basic skills and better prepare them for adoption. The program’s goal is twofold: decrease juvenile recidivism and save animals’ lives.

Longevity isn’t just about living a long life but also about living well. More than 1 in 5 Americans will be 65 or older by 2040, the Department of Health and Human Services projects. And more than 56% of those turning 65 will need some sort of long-term service. Fortunately, there are things you can do at any age to ensure that you will maintain your health as the years go on, according to Dr. John Batsis, a geriatrician at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Writings on an ancient clay tablet have allowed experts to reconstruct a Bronze Age ship made of reeds and sail it on a maiden voyage off the coast of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The vessel, known as a Magan boat, spans 59 feet in length and was assembled by a team of 20 specialists using techniques that date back to 2100 BC, when the Persian Gulf became part of global maritime trade across the ancient world. Magan was once the name for a region that now encompasses the UAE and Oman. Magan boats were large and strong enough to enable the exchange of goods such as copper, textiles and semiprecious stones 4,000 years ago between societies living in Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley in what is now Iraq, Pakistan and India, respectively.

A controversial statue by Pakistani-American sculptor Shahzia Sikander — one of a handful of public pieces by the celebrated artist — has been beheaded at the University of Houston. “Witness,” a larger-than-life, 18-foot golden statue of a levitating woman, was originally commissioned by the Madison Square Park Conservancy in Manhattan and an appellate court of the Supreme Court of the State of New York nearby. Created as a celebration of women and justice, the statue’s hair was braided into two ram horns (a symbol of strength, according to Madison Square Park’s exhibition guide) and features a large hoop skirt — inspired by the stained-glass ceiling dome at the courthouse — smattered with shards of painted mosaic pieces: A woman decorated by a broken glass ceiling.
