NASA successfully reconnected with Voyager 1 after an unexpected communication disruption caused by a shutdown of the spacecraft’s primary transmitter. Engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California pinpointed the cause as Voyager’s fault protection system, which manages power by shutting down non-essential systems. With a second...

A recent study from the University of North Carolina indicates a link between early sleep disruptions and a higher risk of autism in children. Sleep is crucial for brain development, and its disruption can lead to long-lasting behavioural changes. Research on young mice shows that sleep loss negatively impacts social behaviour, especially in those ...

"Gate lice" have long been a concern among flight attendants, who view the premature boarding behaviour as disruptive and inconsiderate.

Recent research has shed light on how "selfish DNA," particularly LINE-1 transposons, plays a key role in early human development. Once viewed primarily as harmful, these elements have now been found to be essential for the normal formation and specialisation of cells during the embryo's early stages. Blocking their activity causes developmental di...

In a discussion titled 'AI and tech: The new frontiers of disruption' at the NDTV World Summit, saw California-based EssentialAI co-founder Niki Parmar saying she is mulling returning to India and working on AI.

India's aviation industry is going through a nightmare of flight disruptions after a series of bomb threats that turned out to be fake. The government has launched crisis management efforts after more than 130 hoax calls in nine days.

On fostering entrepreneurship among students, the noted educationists emphasised the need for universities to move beyond just being centres of knowledge dissemination.

Solar maximum is the peak of solar activity in an approximately 11-year cycle. Currently, we are experiencing the solar maximum of Solar Cycle 25, which could last until 2026. This phase is characterized by an increase in sunspots and solar flares, impacting Earth through geomagnetic storms that can disrupt satellites, power grids, and communicatio...
