Japan's Ispace Says It's Trying to Make Contact With Moon Lander
Tokyo-based ispace Inc. said it's trying to make contact with its lunar lander after attempting to become the first non-US company to reach the moon's surface intact. Ispace's Resilience lander was expected to touch down on the moon after 4 a.m. Japan time on Friday, but the company ended its live stream of the landing attempt without confirming the status of the mission. A press conference is scheduled for 9 a.m., the company said. The mission follows a failed attempt in 2023 when a programming error led to a crash of the spacecraft. Success today would make ispace the third company to park a spacecraft safely on the moon after Texas-based rivals Intuitive Machines Inc. and Firefly Aerospace Inc., as countries race to explore the moon. The Japanese lander launched into space aboard one of Elon Musk-led SpaceX's Falcon 9 rockets in January. The rocket also launched a lander from Firefly that touched down on the lunar surface in March. Resilience was expected to dispatch its rover, named Tenacious, which is equipped with a high-definition camera and a shovel to collect lunar regolith and transmit data back to the lander. Ispace signed a contract in 2020 with NASA to provide the US agency with regolith collected on the moon's surface. Aboard the lander are customer payloads with varying purposes including a commemorative plate from Bandai Namco Research Institute Inc. — an affiliate of the entertainment company behind game brands like Pac Man and Gundam — and experimental equipment such as a device to extract hydrogen from water. Ispace plans to send its landers more frequently to the moon starting in 2027, with an aim to transport payloads two or three times a year, according to company's founder and CEO Takeshi Hakamada. The plan is based on his belief that humans could start making a living on the moon as early as the 2040s. A successful mission would be a double win for Hakamada, who said in an interview before the landing attempt that Japan will lose out on opportunities to seek fresh growth if it refuses to accept failures as a course of nature. 'It'd be a huge loss for our society if failures only discourage bold attempts and trials,' he said. 'We didn't make it the first time, which was unfortunate. But we worked to make it happen the second time.' This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

PGI researchers give new hope for treatment of severe liver disease
Lucknow: Advanced scientific research conducted by scientists at Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGIMS) has shown a new way to treat Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) – a severe but common liver disease. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The research, led by Rohit A Sinha, a scientist and associate professor in the endocrinology department, along with his team comprising Sana Raza and Pratima Gupta, proved that a naturally occurring hormone called dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) can help in checking liver damage caused by NASH by removing harmful fat from liver cells, reducing inflammation, and preventing liver damage. A Union health ministry document notes that NASH is the severest form of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). Terming it as "a silent epidemic", the document noted that NAFLD's community prevalence ranges from 9% to 32%, depending on age, gender, area of residence, and socioeconomic status. This means that up to three people out of 10 could have fatty liver or a related disease. What raises concerns is that 20% of people with NAFLD develop NASH. "DHEA is a parent hormone that acts as a precursor to sex hormones in humans. While scanning several case studies of NASH patients, we noted that the level of DHEA in them was on the lower side. Keeping this as the base, we proposed to study the impact of increasing this hormone in NASH patients with a significant extent of fibrosis – a symptom of NASH," said Sinha, adding that the study was published in the journal 'Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology'. "We began with animal studies. In the mouse model, we fed the experimental group with a NASH-inducing diet. When the condition was confirmed in them, we injected DHEA. The outcome showed that the severity of liver damage in 80% of the sample decreased by about 60%," he said. The results paved the way for a cellular study in which the researchers worked upon lab-grown human liver cells. "Here too, in the experimental group, we loaded the cells with excessive fat to create a NASH-like condition. Thereafter, we introduced DHEA and found that the fat percentage decreased by up to 80%," said Sinha. "The result has been heartening. We now look forward to clinical trials for hormone replacement therapy," he said.

World Scientists Look Elsewhere as U.S. Labs Stagger Under Trump Cuts
For decades, Bangalore, India, has been an incubator for scientific talent, sending newly minted doctoral graduates around the world to do ground breaking research. In an ordinary year, many aim their sights at labs in the United States . "These are our students, and we want them to go and do something amazing," said a professor at the National Centre for Biological Sciences in Bangalore, Raj Ladher. But this is not an ordinary year. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo When Ladher queried some 30 graduates in the city recently about their plans, only one had certain employment in the United States. For many of the others, the political turmoil in Washington has dried up job opportunities in what Ladher calls "the best research ecosystem in the world." Some decided they would now rather take their skills elsewhere, including Austria, Japan and Australia, while others opted to stay in India. As the Trump administration moves with abandon to deny visas, expel foreign students and slash spending on research, scientists in the United States are becoming increasingly alarmed. The global supremacy that the United States has long enjoyed in health, biology, the physical sciences and other fields, they warn, may be coming to an end. Live Events "If things continue as they are, American science is ruined," said David W. Hogg, a professor of physics and data science at New York University who works closely with astronomers and other experts around the world. "If it becomes impossible to work with non-U.S. scientists," he said, "it would basically render the kinds of research that I do impossible." Research cuts and moves to curtail the presence of foreign students by the Trump administration have happened at a dizzying pace. The administration has gone so far as moving to block any international students at all from attending Harvard University, and more than $3 billion in research grants to the university were terminated or paused. At Johns Hopkins University , a bastion of scientific research, officials announced the layoffs of more than 2,000 people after losing $800 million in government grants. An analysis by The New York Times found that the National Science Foundation , the world's preeminent funding agency in the physical sciences, has been issuing financing for new grants at its slowest rate since at least 1990. It is not merely a matter of the American scientific community losing power or prestige. Dirk Brockmann, a biology and physics professor in Germany, warned that there were much broader implications. The acceptance of risk and seemingly crazy leaps of inspiration woven into American attitudes, he said, help produce a research environment that nowhere else can quite match. The result has been decades of innovation, economic growth and military advances. "There is something very deep in the culture that makes it very special," said Brockmann, who once taught at Northwestern University . "It's almost like a magical ingredient." Scientists believe that some of the international talent that has long helped drive the U.S. research engine may land elsewhere. Many foreign governments, from France to Australia, have also started openly courting American scientists. But because the United States has led the field for so long, there is deep concern that research globally will suffer. "For many areas, the U.S. is absolutely the crucial partner," said Wim Leemans, the director of the accelerator division at DESY, a research centre in Germany, and a professor at the University of Hamburg . Leemans, who is an American and Belgian citizen and spent 34 years in the United States, said that in areas like medical research and climate monitoring, the rest of the world would be hard-pressed to compensate for the loss of American leadership. There was a time when the U.S. government embraced America's role in the global scientific community. In 1945, a presidential science adviser, Vannevar Bush, issued a landmark blueprint for post-World War II science in the United States. "Science, the Endless Frontier," it was called, and among its arguments was that the country would gain more by sharing information, including bringing in foreign scientists even if they might one day leave, than by trying to protect discoveries that would be made elsewhere anyway. The blueprint helped drive the postwar scientific dominance of the United States, said Cole Donovan, an international technology adviser in the Biden White House . "Much of U.S. power and influence is derived from our science and technology supremacy," he said. Now the United States is taking in the welcome mat. Brockmann, who studies complex systems at the Dresden University of Technology, was once planning to return to Northwestern to give a keynote presentation in June. It was to be part of a family trip to the United States; his children once lived in Evanston, Illinois, where he taught at the university from 2008 to 2013. He cancelled the talk after the Foreign Ministry issued new guidance on travel to the United States following the detention of German tourists at the U.S. border. That warning he said, "was kind of a signal to me: I don't feel safe." Donovan said it was too early to tell whether Europe, say, or China could take over an international leadership role in science. Ladher, the Bangalore researcher, said that so far, Europe has been taking up some of the slack in hiring his graduates. "Austria has become a huge destination for many of our students," he said. In Bangalore, one graduate student who is waiting to defend her doctoral thesis on cell signaling and cancer said it was widely believed in India that U.S. labs were unlikely to hire many international students this year. That has led many of her colleagues to look elsewhere, said the student, who asked not to be named because she still planned to apply for positions in the United States and did not want to hurt her chances. The American scientific community, she said, has long been revered abroad. "It is sad to see that the hero is coming down from the pedestal," she said.
