Scientists Demonstrate Negative Time in Quantum Experiments at Toronto Lab
University of Toronto researchers observed “negative time” in photons through quantum experiments. Led by physicist Daniela Angulo, the study measured interactions between light and matter, revealing energy state changes in less than zero duration. While it challenges traditional time concepts, the findings remain consistent with Einstein's rel...

ISRO To Study How Crops Grow In Space On PSLV C60 Mission
Demonstration of seed germination in outer space, a robotic arm to catch a tethered debris there, and testing of green propulsion systems are some of the experiments planned on the POEM-4 -- the fourth stage of ISRO's PSLV rocket.

AI Predicts Whisky Aromas and Origins with Over 90 Percent Accuracy
Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging have successfully demonstrated how AI can identify the aromas and origins of whiskies with remarkable accuracy. By analysing the chemical compositions of 16 US and Scottish whiskies, the AI achieved over 90% accuracy in distinguishing between the two, surpassing human exp...

Biodegradable Microbeads Could Replace Plastic Exfoliants in Skincare Products
A new biodegradable microbead has been developed as a potential replacement for plastic exfoliants in skincare products. These polymer-based beads break down into molecules resembling sugars and amino acids, making them environmentally safe. When tested on pig skin, the beads demonstrated superior performance in removing permanent marker and eyelin...

NASA's Astronaut Sunita Williams Poses with Tentacle-Armed Astrobee Robot on ISS: Report
NASA’s Astrobee robot tested its REACCH system aboard the ISS, demonstrating advanced robotic arms inspired by gecko adhesion for satellite servicing and space debris management. Astronaut Sunita Williams, Expedition 72 Commander, participated in the demonstration inside the Kibo module, mimicking the robot’s flexible arms. The technology aims ...

SpaceX Successfully Launches Rapid Response Trailblazer-1 Mission from Florida
SpaceX successfully launched the Rapid Response Trailblazer-1 mission from Cape Canaveral on December 16, 2024, marking a major military milestone. The satellite was sent into medium Earth orbit and may connect with the GPS III network, improving navigation systems. Despite weather delays and speculation over its payload, the Falcon 9 rocket’s fi...

Do Atoms Really Touch? Science Explains Their Complex Interactions
The question of whether atoms ever truly "touch" depends on overlapping electron clouds rather than physical surfaces. According to Christopher Baird of West Texas A&M University, atomic "touching" is different from everyday physical contact. Atoms lack defined outer surfaces, and their interaction signals the start of physical effects like bonding...

Drought-Stressed Plants Emit Sounds That Guide Moth Egg-Laying Choices
A study published on November 14 via bioRxiv highlights that drought-stressed plants emit ultrasonic sounds influencing moth egg-laying decisions. Experiments showed Egyptian cotton leafworm moths avoided dehydrated plants and preferred healthier ones. Even laboratory-raised moths demonstrated this innate behaviour. The findings suggest potential f...

Dogs Demonstrate Intentional Communication Using Soundboards, Study Finds
New research from UC San Diego reveals dogs can use soundboards to communicate intentionally, forming two-word combinations like "outside" and "potty" to make specific requests. The study, based on 21 months of data from 152 dogs, shows these behaviours are deliberate rather than random, with potential to transform human-canine relationships. Futur...

New Study Confirms Nebra Sky Disc’s Ancient Origins and Advanced Craftsmanship
The Nebra Sky Disc, unearthed in 1999 and dated to 3,800 years ago, has been verified as an authentic Bronze Age artefact by a new study published in Scientific Reports. Using metallurgical analysis, researchers demonstrated the disc's creation involved over ten cycles of heating and hammering at 700°C. The copper used originated from Austrian min...

SpaceX Launches 23 Starlink Satellites to Strengthen Global Internet Services
SpaceX successfully launched 23 Starlink satellites from Cape Canaveral in its latest mission to enhance global internet coverage. Thirteen of these satellites feature direct-to-cell technology, enabling mobile phones to connect directly to satellites without requiring modifications. This marks SpaceX’s 123rd Falcon 9 mission of the year, demonst...
