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,...
Astronomers have discovered Calvera, a pulsar speeding 6,500 light-years above the Milky Way’s disk. Formed from a supernova in a nearly empty region, Calvera...
Scientists at Peking University have developed a stretchable elastomer that converts body heat into electricity, detailed in Nature. The breakthrough uses thermoelectricity to power...
Scientists using NASA’s InSight lander data have uncovered dozens of dense blobs hidden in Mars’ mantle, possibly remnants of failed protoplanets from the early...
NASA’s Juno spacecraft has captured Callisto’s elusive auroral footprint, completing the “family portrait” of Jupiter’s Galilean moons. Each moon carves its own aurora into...
NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission has found presolar stardust grains inside Bennu’s samples. These tiny particles, older than the Sun, carry chemical fingerprints of ancient stars...
For decades, geologists believed the Himalayas were built on a double layer of continental crust. New research overturns that view, revealing that a dense...
Astronomers are exploring a revolutionary space telescope design with a long, narrow primary mirror instead of a traditional circular one. A 20×1 m rectangular...
