New Superconductors Work at Higher Temperatures, No Pressure Needed
Scientists at Sustech have identified nickelate superconductors capable of conducting electricity without resistance at 45K under normal atmospheric pressure. Their findings could drive advances in superconductivity research, with potential applications in medical imaging and energy efficiency. The study strengthens global efforts to understand unc...

Astronomers Discover Water and Carbon Dioxide in WASP-166 b's Atmosphere
Astronomers have detected water and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of WASP-166 b, a hot super-Neptune exoplanet. Using data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the findings also noted ammonia in smaller quantities. WASP-166 b, located 368 light-years away, is a massive planet that orbits its star every 5.44 days, with a temperature of 1,2...

Cosmic Rays Could Help Scientists Study Tornado Formation Through Muon Detection
Cosmic rays and their byproduct, muons, may help scientists study tornado formation by detecting pressure changes remotely. This technique would avoid the need for direct measurements within dangerous storms. Researchers plan to use muon detectors over large areas or portable versions to track severe weather patterns. The findings could enhance und...

Bomb Cyclones Explained: What Are They and What Makes Them So Dangerous?
Bomb cyclones are low-pressure systems that intensify rapidly, often over oceans, bringing damaging winds, heavy rainfall and snowfall. They form when specific atmospheric conditions align, with a significant drop in pressure and the release of latent heat energy. Their occurrence is most common in cold months and poses risks to shipping. Experts a...

"Pressured" To Fudge Girl's Age To Help Asaram, Alleges School Principal
The atmosphere of terror and threats surrounding the rape case against Asaram -- the 77-year-old self-styled spiritual guru who was convicted today -- extended to a school in Uttar Pradesh the survivor attended. The girl was 16 years old when the attack took place, but there were attempts to prove that she was at least 18 years old, since the quant...

This is the 'Coolest Director' Nawazuddin Siddiqui Has Ever Worked With
"I find Sohail Khan a damn cool director. He is a spontaneous director and he is by far the coolest director I have ever worked with. He creates such an atmosphere on the sets that you perform even difficult scenes with a lot of ease. He doesn't put any pressure on actors," said Nawazuddin
