NASA’s InSight mission uncovered Mars’ mantle as chaotic and fractured, resembling a Rocky Road brownie rather than a layered planet. Seismic data revealed ancient...
Astronomers discovered Comet Lemmon (C/2025 A6) in January, and it could soon become visible to skywatchers. Passing closest to Earth on October 20, 2025,...
Astronomer David Kipping has proposed TARS, a sunlight-driven space slingshot. Using reflective panels spun in space, it can fling small probes at escape speed....
Astronomers once thought the universe’s first stars were only massive giants. New simulations and lab experiments reveal turbulence and early chemistry allowed smaller, Sun-like...
The first study to utilise microscopic damage on sauropod dinosaur teeth, a method known as Dental Microwear Texture Analysis (DMTA), has shed light on...
New research challenges the idea that 55 Cancri e, once dubbed a “diamond planet”, is rich in carbon. Re-analysing telescope data, scientists concluded that the host...
Astronomers have discovered that planets can survive without stars, drifting as rogue or hypervelocity worlds. Some are flung into space by black holes, while...
Exoplanets are planets orbiting stars outside our solar system, hidden by stellar glare and detected indirectly. Astronomers identify them by tracking star wobbles or...
Scientists at Brookhaven’s RHIC have calibrated the sPHENIX detector, confirming it can track particle collisions with high precision. Now ready for full operations, sPHENIX...
Asteroids, comets, meteoroids, meteors, and meteorites may seem similar, but each plays a unique role in the Solar System. Asteroids are rocky remnants, comets...
In a historic collaboration, scientists created the first comprehensive mammalian brain activity map. The project, led by the International Brain Laboratory, analyzed data from...
NASA has named Amit Kshatriya as its new Associate Administrator, a role overseeing agency operations and strategy. A 20-year NASA veteran, Kshatriya has led...
Astronomers using LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA detected 128 collisions of black holes and neutron stars, including two rare mixed mergers that double previous records. These findings reveal...
Scientists at the University of Tokyo have visualized gold nanoclusters in their earliest growth stage and discovered new elongated structures called gold quantum needles....
The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted a bizarre planet-forming disk dominated by carbon dioxide where water is almost absent. This rare finding, in...
ISRO has successfully tested drogue parachutes for the Gaganyaan crew module at its Chandigarh facility. The rocket-sled trials simulated high-speed re-entry conditions, ensuring parachutes...
RRI’s PRATUSH—a credit-card-sized computer payload—will detect faint radio signals from hydrogen to study the “Cosmic Dawn”. Designed for deployment on the Moon’s far side,...
