Recent research based on data from NASA’s InSight mission has identified a substantial underground reservoir on Mars. This reservoir, located between 7 and 12 miles below the Martian surface, could hold enough water to cover the planet to a depth of 1 mile. The data, gathered by InSight’s seismometer between 2018 and 2022, suggests that water i...

A virtual autopsy of the "Screaming Woman" mummy, discovered in Egypt in 1935, reveals a dramatic and painful death, with her face frozen in a scream due to a cadaveric spasm. This condition occurs when muscles stiffen immediately before death, often due to extreme distress. The study, published on August 2, 2024, in Frontiers in Medicine, highligh...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has made a significant discovery with its latest image of the Serpens Nebula, taken on June 20, 2024. This image showcases aligned protostellar outflows—jets of gas expelled by newborn stars—all pointing in the same direction. Serpens Nebula, a reflection nebula, reflects light from nearby stars rather than e...

Sakana AI, a Tokyo-based artificial intelligence (AI) firm, introduced its latest AI model that can conduct scientific research on Tuesday. The company claims that the AI model, dubbed The AI Scientist, can run an end-to-end scientific discovery process in the AI and machine learning (ML) fields on its own. This would include idea generation, runni...

Water is considered essential for life, and geological studies show the planet's surface had lakes, rivers and oceans more than 3 billion years ago.

Recent research reveals that Greenland, now 98% covered in ice, was almost entirely ice-free at some point in the last million years. Fossils of plants like willow and Arctic poppy, found in an ice core sample from the island’s center, suggest a once-thriving tundra ecosystem. This discovery is significant because it challenges previous beliefs t...

Gaia’s recent data release reveals that over 350 asteroids, once believed to be solitary, have hidden moons. This discovery nearly doubles the known binary asteroid systems, highlighting Gaia’s ability to find new asteroid-moon pairs. The detailed observations from Gaia’s DR3 release offer a glimpse into the early solar system and asteroid fo...

The discovery of a 13,000-year-old pillar at Göbekli Tepe, Turkey, reveals the world’s oldest known calendar. Carved with 365 "V" symbols, this ancient calendar includes 12 lunar months and 11 extra days. The pillar also depicts a bird-like creature, potentially representing the summer solstice constellation. Researchers suggest this calendar wa...

The discovery of a skeleton of an adult male tiger - with four holes, which a preliminary medical examination suggests might be bullet wounds, in the skull - in Madhya Pradesh's Ratapani, less than 60km from capital Bhopal, has caused worry.

Warner Bros. Discovery intends to leverage its intellectual properties and publish more video games based on its biggest franchises, the company said at its second-quarter earnings call on Wednesday. In addition to developing games in-house, Warner Bros. is also looking to license its IPs out to other studios.

The discovery of 13 billion-year-old stars near the Sun challenges previous understandings of the Milky Way's formation, suggesting that our galaxy's history may be far older than once believed.

The discovery of a tiny arm bone suggests that an ancient human dubbed "hobbits" only shrank down to their diminutive size after they arrived on an Indonesian island a million years ago, scientists said on Tuesday.

The decision to strike follows months of negotiations with major videogame companies including Activision Productions, Electronic Arts, Epic Games, Take-Two Interactive, Disney Character Voices and Warner Bros Discovery's WB Games.

Children foraging for firewood outside Kabanga village near Mpigi town, made the grisly discovery on Monday. Police said residents told officers there were metallic boxes containing what appeared to be skulls buried in a shrine.

NASA's Curiosity rover made a "mind-blowing" discovery on Mars: rocks made of pure sulfur, which have never been seen on the Red Planet.
