Mauve, the pioneering new model from King’s-linked Blue Skies Space, will deliver space science data straight to the global scientific community.
Announcing a new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2026.250218. As cities become taller, denser, and more energy-hungry, integrating solar energy directly into the surfaces of buildings and vehicles provides a powerful and space-efficient solution to the climate crisis.

Researchers from the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Oxford, have resolved a long-standing debate about the strength of the Moon’s magnetic field. For decades, scientists have argued whether the Moon had a strong or weak magnetic field during its early history (3.5 - 4 billion years ago). Now a new analysis – published today (26 February) in Nature Geoscience – shows that both sides of the debate are effectively correct.
Dining on the moon or Mars might seem like a fantasy reserved for science fiction, but researchers are investigating how it could become a reality. Their efforts to recycle plant and human waste into a fertilizer material — turning the barren surfaces of the moon and Mars into fertile fields that might be suitable for extraterrestrial agriculture — are described in ACS Earth and Space Chemistry.
