Southwest Research Institute

Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio is partnering with scientists at Adelaide University in Australia to create a quantum RF sensor.

On board the BepiColombo spacecraft is Strofio, a neutral mass spectrometer specifically designed to sample the sparse exosphere around Mercury. The spacecraft is a joint mission of the European and Japanese space agencies and was launched in 2018.

The research will examine Alaska's frozen arctic sand dunes, which are similar to dune fields on Saturn's moon, Titan, and on early Mars.

Researchers explained how breath and sense of smell can both be used to monitor for serious head injuries.

Researchers will create padding designed to withstand both blunt and ballistic impacts service members face in the field.

A unique research project is using NASA high altitude aircraft and teams of ground-based citizen scientists to observe the eclipse.

Scientists found water molecules in two out of four asteroids examined, which can help inform the distribution of water in our solar system and beyond.

SwRI is developing a turbine that runs off of supercritical carbon dioxide, a heated up fluid state of CO2, which is significantly more efficient than steam turbines used across the energy industry, with a much smaller physical footprint.

It's been theorized that there is an ocean that could possibly harbor life under a sheet of ice on Europa.

The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft, traveling about 14,000 mph, slammed into an asteroid named Dimorphos, right on target.
