Curiosity Rover Finds Evidence of Liquid Water on Mars, Expanding Habitability Timeline
Reports from NASA’s Curiosity rover reveal evidence of ancient liquid water on Mars, challenging previous models. Images from Gale Crater show wave-like ripples, similar to Earth’s lakebeds. Scientists suggest the findings indicate Mars once had a denser atmosphere, which allowed liquid water to exist longer than previously believed. This disco...

Biggest Dinosaur Trackway in the UK With More Than 200 Footprints Reportedly Discovered
Over 200 dinosaur footprints, dating back 166 million years, have been discovered at Dewars Farm Quarry in Oxfordshire. The site, considered the largest of its kind in the UK, includes tracks from species such as the long-necked Cetiosaurus and the carnivorous Megalosaurus. Experts believe the tracks were preserved by a natural event, offering new ...

New Celestial Navigation System for Drones Enables GPS-Free Operations: Report
Scientists at the University of South Australia (UniSA) have unveiled a navigation system for drones that uses stars to pinpoint their location, removing the need for GPS signals. The lightweight and cost-effective system enhances operational resilience, particularly in environments where GPS signals are jammed or degraded. This development has pot...

China to Reportedly Activate Powerful X-Ray Light Source to Reveal Atomic Structure of Proteins
China is about to launch the High Energy Photon Source (HEPS), a state-of-the-art synchrotron capable of providing high-resolution x-ray imaging. Expected to begin operations in late December, HEPS will enable scientists to explore atomic-level structures in materials and proteins. This new facility, costing $657 million, will offer advanced capabi...

China's Zhurong Rover Helps Find Evidence of Potential Ancient Shoreline on Mars
China's Zhurong rover has found what might be the shoreline of an ancient Martian ocean, offering fresh support for theories that Mars once had vast bodies of water. Studying images and radar data from Utopia Planitia, the largest impact basin on Mars, scientists identified geological features that resemble coastlines, including pitted cones, troug...

Aditya-L1 Solar Mission Reveals First Significant Findings on Solar Eruptions
The Aditya-L1 mission, India's first solar observation project, has achieved a significant breakthrough with the Visible Emission Line Coronagraph (VELC) reporting its first major findings. Scientists from the Indian Institute of Astrophysics successfully observed the onset of a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME), marking an important milestone in solar r...

2022 Tonga Eruption: Public Observations and Scientific Data Illuminate Hunga Volcano's Global Impact
The Hunga volcano eruption near Tonga on January 15, 2022, sent shockwaves and tsunamis across the globe, creating low, booming sounds heard as far away as Alaska. In New Zealand, more than 2,100 public observations of the eruption, from rumbling sounds to animals reacting, helped scientists at GNS Science cross-verify seismic and atmospheric data....

Scientists Reportedly Reversed Type 1 Diabetes by Reprogramming Patient's Fat Cells into Insulin-Producing Cells
Chinese researchers have, for the first time, reprogrammed a woman’s fat cells to become insulin-producing pancreatic cells, reversing her need for insulin injections for over a year. In this study, fat cells were chemically reverted into stem-like cells and transformed into islet cells, which are normally found in the pancreas. The cells, implan...
