Rakesh Roshan To NDTV On Evolution Of Indian Cinema: "We Used To Make Larger Than Life Films"
Rakesh Roshan also talked about how modern films lack the “fairy tale” element and have become more realistic

Opinion | Is Bollywood Only About 'Reels' And 'Memes' Now?
Reelification is not just a trend, it is an evolution, an omnipresent force shaping cinema's contours. It is the new language. And in this reality, the algorithm reigns supreme, dictating what survives, and what, if anything, will ever be remembered.

Scientists Observe Rare Plastic Ice, A Hybrid Form of Ice and Water, Under Extreme Pressure and Heat
Researchers have observed plastic ice, a phase where water molecules rotate while staying in a solid structure. The discovery, made under extreme pressure and heat, could provide new insights into the composition of icy exoplanets and moons. The findings suggest plastic ice VII may have existed in Europa and Titan's interiors and could influence nu...

New Study Suggests Intelligent Life May Be More Common Than Thought
A groundbreaking study challenges the long-held belief that intelligent life is rare, proposing that the emergence of complex life could be a natural outcome of planetary conditions. Researchers suggest that life evolves in response to planetary changes, rather than a series of improbable evolutionary leaps. This new model, led by experts in astrop...

Human-Like Lifeforms Beyond Earth? New Study Says It's More Likely Than We Thought
The research proposes that the emergence of humanity on Earth was not as improbable as previously thought, potentially increasing the likelihood of intelligent life existing on other planets.

NASA SPHEREx Mission to Map Water Ice in the Milky Way for Life’s Origins
NASA’s SPHEREx mission, launching February 27, will search for water ice and frozen compounds in the Milky Way’s molecular clouds. By surveying over 9 million regions, the mission aims to understand how these compounds influence planet and star formation. Findings will complement data from the James Webb Space Telescope, enhancing insights into...

Webb Telescope Unveils Hidden Process Behind Star Formation in Phoenix Cluster
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has uncovered the missing link in star formation within the Phoenix galaxy cluster. By mapping intermediate-temperature gas, researchers identified a crucial phase of cooling that was previously undetected. This discovery explains why the cluster’s supermassive black hole does not fully prevent star formation, ...

Scientists Discover Two New Supernova Remnants in a Surprising Location
Two previously unknown supernova remnants, J0624-6948 and J0614-7251, have been detected in the outskirts of the Large Magellanic Cloud. Their unexpected location suggests a higher-than-expected concentration of ionised gas, raising new questions about galactic evolution. Scientists propose that gravitational interactions between the Milky Way and ...

Study Uncovers Evidence of Cannibalism in Ancient Europe 18,000 Years Ago
A study on 18,000-year-old human remains found in Maszycka Cave, Poland, has revealed strong evidence of cannibalism. Researchers discovered cut marks and skull fractures that indicate scalping, defleshing, and brain extraction. The findings suggest the practice was tied to warfare rather than survival, with human remains found alongside butchered ...

Why The Tibetan Plateau Holds The Key To A New Era Of Human Evolution
A new study reveals that Tibetan communities have developed unique adaptations to survive in the low-oxygen conditions of the Tibetan Plateau.

69-Million-Year-Old Fossil Bird Skull in Antarctica Sheds Light on Waterfowl Evolution
Scientists have analysed a nearly complete fossilised bird skull found in Antarctica, dating back 69 million years. Identified as Vegavis iaai, the specimen is closely related to modern ducks and geese, with skull features supporting its classification as a waterfowl. Researchers suggest that its advanced vision and motor skills could have helped i...

Astronomers Find a 200,000-Light-Year Black Hole Jet in the Early Universe
Astronomers have identified the longest black hole jet observed in the early universe, stretching 200,000 light-years—twice the Milky Way’s width. Found in quasar J1601+3102, this jet was detected using the LOFAR telescope. Despite the black hole being 450 million times the Sun’s mass, it isn’t among the most massive. Scientists believe env...

1.4 Million-Year-Old Jaw Identified as New Paranthropus Species in South Africa
A fossil jawbone discovered in South Africa, initially misclassified, has been identified as a new species, Paranthropus capensis. Using advanced 3D imaging, researchers found that the jaw’s structure and molars differed significantly from known Homo and Paranthropus species. The findings suggest that at least two Paranthropus species coexisted a...

Ear Muscles Flex to Help Focus on Sounds, Study Reveals Evolutionary Link
A study reveals that tiny ear muscles flex when people focus on specific sounds in noisy environments. Once vital for movement in ancestral species, these muscles no longer serve a major function in modern humans but may hold potential for hearing aid advancements. Researchers observed that superior auricular muscles react to difficult listening ta...

SPHEREx Space Telescope to Map Cosmos in Infrared Light, Launching in February 2025
Set to launch in February 2025, NASA’s SPHEREx mission will provide a comprehensive map of the universe in infrared light. The telescope will examine 450 million galaxies and 100 million stars, shedding light on the universe’s formation, early conditions after the Big Bang, and the presence of water in planetary systems. SPHEREx will survey the...
