NASA's MMS Mission Marks 10 Years of Magnetic Reconnection Discoveries
NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission has completed a decade of discoveries, advancing the study of magnetic reconnection—a crucial process in space physics. The four-satellite fleet has enabled over 1,500 research papers, refining theories and revealing unexpected reconnection locations. The mission has also set records for GPS tracking...

Romania’s ‘Living’ Rocks Expand and Multiply in a Strange Natural Process
Trovants, mysterious geological formations found in Romania’s Costești region, are known for their unique ability to grow and multiply. These rocks, formed millions of years ago due to seismic activity, consist of a hard stone core surrounded by a porous sandstone shell. When rainwater rich in minerals like calcium carbonate seeps into the rock,...

Cats Associate More with Words Compared to Human Babies, New Study Reveals
New research shows cats have the ability to link words and images faster than toddlers, suggesting a surprising cognitive ability in felines. Conducted at Azabu University in Japan, the study used visual cues to reveal that cats could recognise altered word-image pairings, showing signs of confusion and attention to detail. The findings, published ...

NASA's Mars Perseverance Rover Uncovers Distinct Red Rocks with Green Spots at 'Serpentine Rapids'
NASA's Mars Perseverance rover has unveiled intriguing findings at Serpentine Rapids, a location characterised by its striking red rocks interspersed with distinctive green spots. These features, observed in a nighttime mosaic captured by the rover's SHERLOC WATSON camera, may provide insights into Mars' geological history. The green spots are thou...

First Synthetic Embryos: the Scientific Breakthrough Raises Serious Ethical Questions
In a new study, a research team used the artificial womb to grow natural mouse embryos (fertilised from sperm and eggs), which lived for 11 days. The lab-created womb, or external uterus, was a breakthrough in itself as embryos could not survive in petri dishes. scientists started with collections of stem cells. The conditions created by the extern...
