How “scoopable” is frigid Moon soil? 🌑🥄 @NASA needs to know as it looks to build bases on the Moon and utilize resources on the surface. In response, @UTSA researchers are recreating lunar conditions in the lab to learn how ice, soil and rocks behave in extreme conditions.
In a $1 million @NASA-funded project, UT San Antonio researchers will look at how icy lunar soil behaves in the extreme cold of the moon's permanently shadowed regions.
The effort, a collaboration with @SwRI, could improve the way scientists extract, transport and process lunar missions.

Our small intestines are about 20 feet long, tightly folded, and hard to reach. 🩺 But a 3.5-inch soft robot, co-developed by @UTSWMedCenter can crawl through them to take images, collect biopsies and deliver treatment. Yep, you read that right. UTSW has more: utsouthwestern.edu/newsroom/artic…

About 95% of the universe is made of something we can’t see. 🌌 an invisible “glue” that holds galaxies together. @UTAustin theoretical astrophysicist Katherine Freese shares what we know (and don’t) about the invisible substance shaping the cosmos.
