ISRO’s NVS-02 Satellite Stalls in Orbit Due to Technical Malfunction
A technical issue has stalled the orbit-raising operations of ISRO’s NVS-02 satellite, launched on January 29. While solar panels are functioning and communication is stable, the oxidizer valves have failed to open, preventing thruster activation. Tracking data indicates the satellite remains in its initial orbit. ISRO is assessing alternative wa...

Could We Ever Retrieve Memories from a Dead Person's Brain? Neuroscientists Weigh In
Neuroscientists are exploring whether memories can be retrieved from a deceased person’s brain, but current research indicates significant challenges. Memories are thought to be stored in the brain as engrams, which are formed by groups of neurons in the hippocampus and other regions. While some studies have identified these engrams in animals, r...

Here's How Nuclear Clocks Could Redefine Time and Reshape Modern Technology
Timekeeping is entering a new era with nuclear clocks, capable of achieving accuracy to the 19th decimal place. Current atomic clocks rely on caesium-133, but innovations with thorium-229’s nuclear transitions, excited by ultraviolet light, promise unprecedented precision. Scientists aim to redefine the second using elements like strontium by 203...
