Space hurricanes, unlike typical geomagnetic disturbances, are stealthy threats to satellite systems, forming even when the sun is quiet. These swirling plasma vortices disrupt GPS accuracy, scramble satellite signals, and distort Earth ...more

The US aims to build a nuclear reactor on the Moon by 2030. Sean Duffy leads this project for lunar energy independence. This plan counters China and Russia's lunar base. The reactor will power habitats and resource extraction. NASA als ...more

Space is an active place. Asteroid 2025 OT7 will fly by Earth in August 2025. It is about 170 feet wide. It will travel at high speed. It will pass at a safe distance. NASA and other agencies monitor such objects. ISRO is also planning ...more

On August 5, 2025, Earth is expected to experience a slightly shorter day, approximately 1.34 milliseconds less than 24 hours. This phenomenon is attributed to changes within the Earth's core and atmospheric fluctuations. While impercep ...more

Blistering heatwaves have also hit other parts of Asia this summer, from South Korea to Vietnam

Former NASA astronaut Mike Massimino recalls the breathtaking view of India from space, particularly the stunning city lights of Mumbai and New Delhi. He describes how these urban hubs appear as glowing constellations, distinct from the ...more

Without coordinated, better-resourced, and systematically independent approaches to detect, investigate, and sanction misconduct, a large new study’s findings show that the future of science is at risk of being shaped by those for whom acting in bad faith is the rational way to go

A recent study reveals lunar soil's potential for producing vital resources like water, oxygen, and rocket fuel using a solar-powered device. Researchers successfully extracted water from lunar regolith and converted it into breathable ...more

While a new study isn’t the first to describe how quantum phenomena can be used in the service of generating random numbers, the technique incorporates a cryptographic tool called blockchains in their protocol. This makes the technique fully traceable and certifiable by independent parties, making it the first of its kind

At a beach near Algiers, brown algae native to the Pacific Ocean cover the golden sand, posing a threat to ecosystems native to the area and their stench repelling swimmers at the peak of summer. The alga originates from temperate wate ...more

On Ireland's blustery western seaboard researchers are gleefully flying giant kites -- not for fun but in the hope of generating renewable electricity and sparking a "revolution" in wind energy. Ireland's wind energy sector has long bee ...more

Asteroid 2024 YR4, initially a concern for Earth, now poses a slight risk to the Moon. While a direct Earth impact is ruled out, there's a 4% chance it could collide with the Moon in 2032. Such an impact could create a significant crate ...more

Mission to allow AI/ML models to run in Space on edge computing

Scientists in Germany have recreated the universe's first molecule. The experiment mimics conditions after the Big Bang. It helps us understand how stars were formed. Researchers used a special instrument to simulate space. They recreat ...more

After decades of soaring output, the market is now at a tipping point as combined exports from Indonesia and Malaysia are set to slow sharply

Published in Cell, the research analyzed over 500 genomes and identified two critical genes responsible for tuber development. 

Elon Musk's Neuralink is making waves with its brain-computer interface. The 'Link' implant allows paralysed patients to control devices with their minds. Noland Arbaugh and Audrey Crews are among the early recipients. They are regainin ...more

Our genes significantly influence how we perceive smells, impacting everything from our favorite scents to reactions to certain foods. A large genetic study identified distinct genetic regions tied to odor detection, revealing sex-speci ...more

Why 2025 will go down in the history of renewable energy in India as a year of milestones
