NASA Showcases AI-Powered Computational Tools to Advance Scientific Research at SC24 Event
At SC2024, NASA’s Nicola Fox revealed the agency’s new AI-powered computational tools aimed at improving space science. These tools will be deployed across divisions, including Earth science, heliophysics, and astrophysics. A key example presented was a heliophysics model using data from the Solar Dynamics Observatory to predict solar wind and ...

Heart-Shaped Clams Channel Sunlight Using Fiber Optic-Like Structures, Says Study
Heart cockles, small marine bivalves from the Indian and Pacific Oceans, exhibit a unique adaptation in their shells. These structures, resembling fibre-optic cables, channel sunlight to symbiotic algae living within, facilitating photosynthesis while filtering out harmful ultraviolet rays. The algae provide essential nutrients to the clams in retu...

Einstein’s Theory of Relativity Passes Its Biggest Test After Observations From Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument
A new study by the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) suggests dark energy might not be constant over time, potentially altering cosmological models. Conducted at the Kitt Peak National Observatory, the project’s 3-D galaxy map highlights the role of dark energy in shaping the universe’s expansion. Researchers found evidence that dark ...

James Webb Space Telescope Finds First Evidence of Einstein Zig-Zag Phenomenon In a Distant Quasar
Data from the James Webb Space Telescope has revealed the first-ever Einstein zig-zag, where light from quasar J1721+8842 bends through two distinct warped space-time regions. Six mirrored images of the quasar and a faint Einstein ring confirm this rare lensing effect. Scientists believe this discovery could help resolve critical issues in cosmolog...

No Verifiable Evidence of UFO Sightings But ‘Very Anomalous Objects’ Exist, Says US Government Agency
In a Senate testimony on November 19, Jon T. Kosloski, Director of the Pentagon's All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), clarified that his office has not found any verifiable evidence to support the idea of extraterrestrial life or activity related to UAPs. While the majority of UAP reports have been linked to known objects, a small number r...

Mountain Lions in Los Angeles Are Turning Nocturnal Due to Humans Encroaching Their Habitat, Study Finds
Mountain lions in Los Angeles are adapting to human recreational activities such as hiking, jogging, and cycling by becoming more nocturnal, a recent study in Biological Conservation has revealed. Researchers tracked 22 GPS-collared mountain lions in the Santa Monica Mountains between 2011 and 2018 and found that the animals shifted their activity ...

Chandrayaan-2 Lunar Orbiter Avoided Collision With Danuri Spacecraft in September, Reveals ISRO
In September, India’s Chandrayaan-2 orbiter made a crucial trajectory change to avoid colliding with South Korea’s Danuri spacecraft. This adjustment came after multiple collision alerts had been issued due to the shared near-polar orbits of Chandrayaan-2, Danuri, and NASA’s LRO.

Quantum Breakthrough Observed as Scientists Define Photon Shape for the First Time
In a major scientific achievement, researchers at the University of Birmingham have defined the shape of a single photon for the first time. The study reveals how photons interact with their surroundings and emit energy, providing new insights into quantum physics. This work opens avenues for innovations in nanophotonic technologies, such as improv...

NASA Explains Cause Behind the Moon Drifting Away From Earth
NASA explains that the Moon is gradually moving away from Earth at a rate of 4 cm per year. This process is driven by tidal forces between the two bodies, with Earth’s oceans creating friction that transfers energy to the Moon, pushing it into a higher orbit.

Ancient DNA Study Shows How Early Europeans Adapted Over 7,000 Years
A study using ancient DNA has revealed how early Europeans adapted to their environments over 7,000 years. By examining genetic samples from archaeological remains, researchers found evidence of natural selection in traits like vitamin D production and lactose tolerance. Immune gene adaptations were also linked to agricultural shifts and disease ex...
