An IISER Kolkata has raised the troubling possibility that those microbes capable of breaking down plastics are also reservoirs of antibiotic resistance genes; plastic particles may serve as hotbeds where the genes accumulate and spread between microbes

How is climate change altering the water cycle in the Gangotri Glacier System which feeds the Bhagirathi river?

Starship is too large, too ungainly, and too audacious to remain an abstract engineering project; to watch it is to anthropomorphise it almost by necessity

Deep in the Pacific, researchers aboard the E/V Nautilus discovered a peculiar, yellow brick road-like structure at nearly 3,000 meters. Initially sparking Atlantis comparisons, the formation is actually a hyaloclastite, shaped by ancie ...more

NASA research reveals that the heliosphere, our solar system's protective bubble, may resemble a deflated croissant rather than a comet. This new model, based on the behavior of solar wind particles, has significant implications. It imp ...more
