Scientists have witnessed what they believe to be the largest oceanic predation event ever observed off the coast of Norway.

Titan, the moon of the second-largest planet in our solar system is believed to be one of the most hospitable worlds

Francis Thomas Bacon invented the hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell a clean, high-efficiency power source that helped propel Apollo 11s historic moon landing in 1969.

In 2015, U.S. Navy pilots encountered unidentified aerial phenomena during training missions off the East Coast. These sightings included fast-moving, oval-shaped objects with no visible engines. The U.S. government has since acknowledged these incidents, with investigations into their origins gaining momentum. The reports from experienced pilots h...

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...

Recent research from the University of Bergen has uncovered a fascinating survival mechanism in comb jellies (Mnemiopsis leidyi), demonstrating their ability to revert from adult to juvenile form in response to environmental stressors. This groundbreaking discovery challenges previous understandings of their life cycle and regeneration capabilities...

On 29 September 2024, Earth briefly welcomed asteroid 2024 PT5 as a second moon. Discovered by NASA's ATLAS, this small asteroid will exit Earth's orbit by mid-November 2024. Its fleeting presence offers astronomers valuable insights into tracking mini-moons and potential asteroid threats. As scientists explore these transient companions, they unco...

The patient had been suffering from hard-to-control diabetes despite intensive insulin treatment and had received pancreas transplantation in 2017.

In a groundbreaking observation, scientists have recorded the largest marine predation event ever documented, offering unprecedented insights into ocean ecosystem dynamics. Using advanced sonar technology, researchers tracked interactions between capelin, a small forage fish, and their primary predator, cod, as part of a massive, coordinated predat...

In a groundbreaking find, Hong Kong scientists uncovered the city’s first dinosaur fossils on Port Island. The fossils are believed to date back to the Cretaceous period, representing a significant step for local palaeontology. The fossils will be displayed at the Hong Kong Heritage Discovery Centre for public viewing, while Port Island remains t...

Obesity is a known precursor to diabetes, hypertension, and cancer -- the non-communicable diseases rising significantly both in India and worldwide.

Growing tissues in labs on Earth can be a challenging task as gravity pulls cells into contact with the bottom of a plate or dish.

Indian scientists have identified a new exoplanet named TOI-6651b, which is five times larger than Earth and has a mass around 60 times greater. Located in the Neptunian desert, it orbits a Sun-like star every 5.06 days. The planet's composition suggests unique evolutionary processes, providing valuable insights into how such dense exoplanets form ...

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has unveiled remarkable footage from the new Compact Coronagraph (CCOR-1), which is aboard the GOES-19 satellite. This advanced telescope captures charged particles and solar eruptions from the Sun’s corona, vital for monitoring solar activity as it approaches its peak in 2025. By blockin...

Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University have successfully identified the 3D structure of an artificial light-harvesting complex II (LHCII). This structure mimics the natural LHCII found in plants and plays a critical role in photosynthesis. Using in vitro reconstitution and cryo-electron microscopy, the team demonstrated that the artificial co...
