Over 88% of proteins encoded by these viral genomes are entirely novel, revealing a vast and unexplored genetic reservoir in the world’s oceans.
Scientists at the Flatiron Institute’s Center for Computational Astrophysics found a single giant flare from a super-magnetized star may have produced planet-sized quantities of gold, platinum, and other heavy elements
The China National Space Administration (CNSA) has recently opened access to its precious Chang’e-5 moon rock samples to select foreign institutions
Neither Y2K bust nor WeWork’s failure deter SoftBank’s mercurial chief Masayoshi Son to venture again into speculative territory. This time he’s joining forces with a boutique bank-backed blank-check company to launch a crypto investment venture
NASA’s Perseverance rover has struck another milestone on Mars, capturing global attention after discovering a dark-toned float rock, nicknamed Skull Hill
British astronomers claim to have found the strongest evidence of life on exoplanet K2-18b, which was first discovered in 2015 and soon emerged as a potential candidate suitable for habitability with water
The lab test has provided compelling evidence that the detected OH is not a result of Earthly contamination but formed directly on the Moon when the solar wind collides with the lunar surface
The discovery could force a rethink of how the Himalayan mountain ranges are formed.
The study sought to develop a realistic scenario of what life on Titan might look like if it does exist, where it is most likely to occur, and how much of it might be present.
A major Chinese brain-computer interface (BCI) initiative is gaining momentum, with plans to implant its Beinao No.1 brain chip in 13 patients by the end of this year
Ever since NASA made a huge revelation in a hurriedly convened press conference in 2018 about Mars Curiosity rover identifying ancient organic molecules embedded within 3-billion-year-old sedimentary rocks in Gale Crater, the tempo has remained high over every discovery made by the rover
China, India, Russia, and commercial players in the United States are all developing their own orbital habitats, each reflecting distinct strategic objectives and technological aspirations
New research suggests that changes in alcohol consumption significantly impact cholesterol levels, raising questions about its long-assumed cardiovascular benefits
The research, conducted by scientists at Stanford University, demonstrates that when water droplets collide and form spray, they generate small electrical charges.
A NASA-led study has confirmed that global sea level rise doubled in 2024, primarily driven by the record-breaking ocean warming caused by climate change
Indian scientists have uncovered the possible cause behind the Indian Ocean Geoid Low (IOGL), the lowest geoid anomaly on Earth or “Gravity Hole”
A study from the University of Cambridge has uncovered a genetic link between Labrador retrievers and humans that sheds new light on obesity
The latest mishap, which marks the eighth test flight of Starship, comes just over a month after the seventh test suffered a similar fate
The biotech firm successfully modified seven genes in mice to express mammoth-like cold adaptations — altering their coat color, texture, and thickness to resemble that of a woolly mammoth
Developed by Rosatom’s Troitsk Institute, the new technology could drastically reduce current space travel durations, which presently take nearly a year
The market for humanoid robots within China is growing rapidly. On Feb. 12, Hangzhou-based Unitree Robotics launched two humanoid models, Unitree H1 and Unitree G1, for sale on JD.com
A groundbreaking study now suggests that a water-rich mineral called ferrihydrite may be the real reason behind Mars’ red dust, challenging long-held scientific assumptions
The Blue Ghost lunar lander, operated by Texas-based Firefly Aerospace, is days away from making an attempt to land on the moon, 450-km away from Chandrayaan-3’s landing site
“As major development projects like NEOM in Saudi Arabia continue to transform the region, these findings highlight the critical need for stronger climate resilience and disaster preparedness”
