    Can robots grow food on Earth and in space?

    Robotics is making its way into agriculture, helping address challenges such as chemical use and labour shortages. What are the potentials? What are the challenges?

    To mine or not to mine in space?

    We hear more and more about space mining projects—companies are interested in mining asteroids, and the European Commission is exploring the idea of mining the Moon for critical raw materials. But what would be mined? How? And would it be ethical and legal? In this episode, Euronews Tech Talks sits down with several experts to discuss these questions: Ian Crawford, a professor of planetary science at the University of London; Jill Stuart, an academic at the London School of Economics; Pierfrancesco Biasetti, a researcher at the Summer School in Space Ethics at the University of Padua; Erik Persson, a philosophy professor at Lund University; and Kathryn Halder, director of the European Space Resources Innovation Centre (ESRIC).

  5. Space-based solar energy: Reality or science fiction?

    10/29/2025

    Space-based solar energy: Reality or science fiction?

    Although engineers began developing space-based solar energy technology in the 1960s, it still hasn’t become a reality. Why? In this episode, Euronews Tech Talks tries to answer this question by speaking with Sanjay Vijendran, co-founder and CTO of TerraSpark; Francesco Contino, professor at the school of engineering at UC Louvain; and Wei He, senior lecturer in engineering at King’s College London. Important: The European Space Agency (ESA) provided Euronews Next with the Solaris documents after the publication of the episode. More details can be found in the episode’s article.

    Could NASA really put a nuclear reactor on the Moon by 2030?

    NASA’s decision to speed up plans for building a nuclear reactor on the Moon has raised questions about the United States’ broader space strategy and renewed curiosity about the use of nuclear energy beyond Earth.  In this episode of Euronews Tech Talks, we address these questions with professor Simon Middleburgh, co-director of the Nuclear Futures Institute at the University of Bangor (UK), Alfredo Carpineti, astrophysicist and senior science writer at IFL Science, and Francesco Lodi, researcher at ENEA (Italy).
