ISRO Unveils World’s Largest 10-Tonne Vertical Mixer for Solid Propellants
ISRO, in collaboration with CMTI, has developed a 10-tonne vertical planetary mixer, the largest of its kind for solid propellants. The system improves precision, efficiency, and safety in propellant production, which is vital for rocket motors. Weighing 150 tonnes, the mixer successfully passed factory-level tests. It is expected to enhance India...

NASA Lowers Risk of Asteroid 2024 YR4 Impact
NASA has significantly lowered the risk of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth in 2032. Initial estimates placed the impact probability at 1 in 32, but updated calculations have reduced it to just 1 in 360 (0.28 percent). Experts believe the risk will continue to decline as more data is collected. Despite being the riskiest asteroid on NASA’s Sentry ...

New Farm Fertilizer Could Remove CO2 from Air, Improve Soil Quality
Researchers have identified a method to accelerate carbon mineralisation using calcium silicates in farm fertilizers. The process could sequester billions of tons of CO2 while benefiting soil health. Unlike traditional magnesium silicates, calcium silicates react faster with CO2, making the approach more efficient. Scientists are exploring ways to ...

Synthetic Hexagonal Diamond Surpasses Natural Diamonds in Hardness and Stability
Scientists have successfully created a synthetic diamond with a hexagonal lattice, making it harder than natural diamonds. Developed using a process involving high-pressure heating of graphene, this diamond withstands up to 155 GPa and 1,100 degree Celsius, far exceeding the durability of natural diamonds. While unsuitable for jewellery, it holds p...

Ancient 2,000-Year-Old Sword Found in Poland Linked to Vandal Warrior Burial
A nearly 2,000-year-old sword has been discovered in Poland’s Jura region, believed to have belonged to a Vandal warrior. The double-edged spatha was intentionally broken into three pieces and placed on a cremation pyre as part of an ancient burial ritual. Experts at the Częstochowa Museum are currently analyzing the artifact, keeping the locati...

Scientists Detect Rising Microplastics in Human Brains, Study Raises Concerns
A study has found microplastics in human brains, with concentrations rising over recent years. Researchers suggest possible links to dementia, but some experts question the findings due to potential flaws in the analysis. While microplastics have been previously detected in human bodies, their impact on brain health remains unclear. Scientists call...
