Earth might get kicked out of the solar system; scientists sound the alarm Most of us go through life assuming Earth’s place in the universe is secure. We picture our planet as a blue marble, peacefully orbiting the Sun in a cosmic dance that’s guaranteed to go on for billions of years. But a new…
Hawaii is home to a unique and diverse array of native bird species, many of which are found nowhere else in the world. However, these birds are facing a significant threat from an invasive species: mosquitoes. According to Vox Media, a drone flying over Hawaii’s remote forests is releasing containers filled with live mosquitoes. This…
For centuries, humanity has pursued the secret to a longer life through alchemy, mythology, and, more recently, science. While the philosopher’s stone remains a myth, researchers have discovered a reliable method to extend lifespan in animals: eating less. Known as dietary restriction, this practice triggers biological mechanisms that slow aging and improve longevity. However, strict…
When Steven Spielberg’s famous mechanical shark, Bruce, first appeared onscreen in the summer of 1975, Chris Lowe thought it looked fake. Dr. Lowe, who now leads the Shark Lab at California State Long Beach, was 11 that year. He had grown up on Martha’s Vineyard, the island in Massachusetts where “Jaws” was filmed. He had…
A latest discovery by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has reignited one of the most astonishing theories in modern physics: the possibility that our entire universe exists inside a giant black hole. After closely analysing hundreds of ancient galaxies, researchers observed something deeply puzzling. A majority of them appear to spin in the same direction,…
Chinese scientists have made a groundbreaking achievement in space exploration by successfully conducting satellite lasers ranging in the Earth-moon space during the day, overcoming the strong daylight interference.According to Li Yuqiang, a researcher at Yunnan Observatories, the research team successfully beamed a laser to the Tiandu-1 satellite, approximately 130,000 kilometers away from the Earth, and…
A team of researchers in Japan has discovered a type of plastic that can completely dissolve in water within hours. This innovation could help eliminate microplastic fragments that pose a significant threat to ecosystems, wildlife, and human health. It offers a solution to reduce the growing problem of ocean pollution and protect marine life. The…
The air in Dublin carries something far less visible: fragments of DNA. According to a study, genetic material from plants, animals, microbes, and even traces of illicit substances like cannabis and poppy can be found drifting through the city’s atmosphere.This discovery highlights the growing potential of environmental DNA (eDNA) – genetic material collected not from…
A team of researchers working in Antarctica has detected unusual radio signals emerging from deep beneath the ice. These waves were picked up during an experiment using the Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA), a NASA-funded project that searches for high-energy particles from space. The discovery was unexpected as the signals appeared to be coming from…
A striking black iceberg has been spotted off the coast of Labrador, Canada, and scientists and social media users alike are shocked and intrigued. The bizarre image was first captured on camera by Hallur Antoniussen, a fisherman working aboard his shrimp trawler Saputi off Carbonear. While navigating icy waters last month, Antoniussen encountered an iceberg…
