Birds Experience 'Road Rage' Akin To Humans Due To Traffic Noise, Study Shows
For the study, researchers played bird songs from a speaker, simulating an intruder whilst simultaneously playing recorded traffic noise.

Mysterious Planetary-Mass Objects May Form in Young Star System Clashes
Recent research challenges traditional views on planetary-mass objects, suggesting they may form through violent interactions between young star systems rather than standard planetary or stellar processes. Simulations indicate these clashes create dense gas filaments that evolve into free-floating objects, often in binary pairs. This discovery expl...

Alpha Centauri May Have Sent Millions of Asteroids into the Solar System
A study proposes that Alpha Centauri could be contributing a significant number of asteroids to the solar system. Simulations indicate that around 50 objects from the neighboring star system may enter the Oort Cloud annually. While most pass through due to their high velocity, a few could travel inward. The frequency of such occurrences is expected...

NASA Says There's 3.1% Chance Of Asteroid Hitting Earth, New Simulation Shows Its Devastating Effect
The probability of a "city-killer" asteroid hitting Earth in 2032 just increased to 1 in 32, or 3.1%, according to NASA, and a chilling animation depicting the apocalyptic impact that the asteroid could have is going viral online.

Frontier Supercomputer Simulates Universe with Unmatched Complexity
The Frontier supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory has conducted the most detailed universe simulation to date. Using the Hardware/Hybrid Accelerated Cosmology Code (HACC) under the U.S. Department of Energy’s Exascale Computing Project, the model incorporates dark matter, gas, and plasma interactions. With speeds reaching 1.4 exaFLOPS, ...

SpaceX Starship Prepares for Next Flight After Successful Static Fire Tests
SpaceX has successfully completed static fire tests for both the Super Heavy booster and Starship second stage at its Texas facility. The tests simulated real launch conditions, validating the engines ahead of the next integrated flight test (IFT-8), which could take place by the end of February, pending FAA approval. The previous test flight in Ja...

UCLA Unveils SPLITTER, a Tethered Jumping Robot for Space Exploration
Researchers at UCLA’s RoMeLa lab have developed SPLITTER, a robotic system designed for planetary exploration through tethered jumping. The system consists of two quadrupedal robots connected by a tether, allowing efficient movement in low-gravity environments like the Moon and asteroids. Unlike traditional rovers, SPLITTER’s design enables sta...

Blue Origin’s New Shepard NS-29 Conducts First Lunar Gravity Simulation
Blue Origin successfully launched its NS-29 mission, marking the first lunar gravity simulation on its New Shepard vehicle. The capsule rotated mid-flight to replicate Moon gravity for research payloads, including NASA-supported experiments on lunar dust behaviour and fire safety. Over half of the 30 payloads focused on Moon-related technologies. T...

The Sims 1 and 2 Re-Released on PC, Legacy Collection Includes All Expansions
The Sims and the Sims 2, two classic titles from the social simulation franchise, have been re-released. The two games are now available on PC via the EA app, Epic Games Store, and Steam as part of The Sims 25th Birthday Bundle, and can also be purchased separately.

AI Study Finds Organic Molecules on Ceres Likely Came from Asteroid Impacts
A new AI-driven study has challenged previous assumptions about the origin of organic molecules on Ceres. Scientists have mapped organic-rich areas using data from NASA’s Dawn spacecraft and found no evidence linking these compounds to cryovolcanic activity. Instead, simulations suggest asteroid impacts from the outer belt likely delivered the ma...

New Study Uses Math to Decode Creativity and Idea Formation
A new study published in Nature Communications explores the mathematical foundations of creativity. Researchers introduced a model called Edge-Reinforced Random Walk with Triggering (ERRWT) to simulate how new ideas emerge by combining familiar elements. By analysing music habits, literature, and scientific papers, the study found that while discov...

Mysterious Interstellar Object Might Have Shifted Four Planets’ Paths, Study Finds
A mysterious interstellar object, estimated to be eight times the mass of Jupiter, may have significantly altered the orbits of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune billions of years ago. A study suggests that this body passed remarkably close to the Sun, potentially influencing planetary trajectories. Simulations conducted by researchers indicate ...
