New Research Sheds Light on Iron’s Role in Earth’s Core Dynamics
Cutting-edge research using ultrafast X-ray absorption spectroscopy has revealed the structural and thermal behaviour of iron under extreme conditions mimicking Earth’s core. Findings show a hexagonal close-packed (hcp) structure at 240 GPa and 5,345 K, challenging prior theories favouring a body-centred cubic (bcc) form. The study provides criti...

Top 7 Ancient Megaliths Around the World That Rival Stonehenge in Age and Size
While Stonehenge may be the most famous megalithic site, it's not the oldest or largest. From the 11,000-year-old Göbekli Tepe in Turkey to the thousands of stones at Carnac in France, several ancient structures surpass Stonehenge in scale and mystery. These remarkable sites offer insights into the early societies that built them, with many still ...

New Lithium-Sulfur Battery Retains 80 Percent Capacity After 25,000 Cycles
A new lithium-sulfur battery has been developed that retains 80 percent of its charge capacity after 25,000 charging cycles. This breakthrough, published in Nature, features a novel electrode structure with sulfur and iodine, resulting in enhanced longevity compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries. The study suggests that further research is n...

Zombie Star’s Mysterious Spiky Filaments Baffle Astronomers in New Discovery
A zombie star remnant, Pa 30, located 6,500 light-years from Earth, is surrounded by spiky filaments that have baffled astronomers. These filaments, observed for centuries, continue to puzzle scientists, as their formation and long-term stability remain unclear. The star's explosion in 1181 was initially noted by skywatchers, but its remnant struct...

Interstellar Object Could Have Shifted Trajectories of Four Planets, New Research Shows
A recent study suggests that an interstellar object, possibly as massive as eight times Jupiter, may have passed through the solar system billions of years ago, significantly altering the orbits of its outer planets—Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Using computer simulations, researchers found that in about 1% of the scenarios, such a close ...

Scientists Uncover 'Sunken Worlds' Deep in Earth’s Mantle, Defying Geological Expectations
A new study has uncovered unusual anomalies deep within Earth's mantle, resembling sunken crustal slabs in unexpected locations. Using advanced full-waveform inversion, scientists were able to map these structures, revealing hidden patterns that challenge current geological understanding. These anomalies were discovered far from tectonic activity z...

Pterosaur Tails Combined Aerodynamic Precision and Display Adaptations, Reveal New Study
Early pterosaurs featured long tails ending in leaf-shaped vanes, supported by a sophisticated tensioning system. This system, revealed through laser-stimulated fluorescence analysis of fossils, included criss-crossing fibres and tube-like structures that provided stiffness. These tails served a dual purpose: aiding flight by stabilising the vanes ...

NASA's TESS Discovers Fastest Disintegrating Planet Ever Seen: What You Need to Know
NASA’s TESS has observed the closest and fastest disintegrating planet, BD+05 4868 Ab, located 141 light-years away. The planet loses a moon’s mass every million years as it is bombarded by its host star. Scientists are examining its massive dust trails, offering rare insights into the composition of terrestrial exoplanets. Researchers from MIT...

Hubble’s Detailed Andromeda Galaxy Mosaic Sheds Light on Its Past and Evolution
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has produced a massive photomosaic of the Andromeda galaxy, revealing more than 200 million stars. The study offers fresh insights into Andromeda’s evolutionary history, which includes mergers with smaller galaxies. This breakthrough provides a clearer picture of the galaxy's structure and the processes that shaped...

Quantum Entanglement Detected Inside Protons for the First Time by Researchers
In a major development in quantum physics, researchers have discovered quantum entanglement inside protons, a breakthrough that was previously theorised but unproven. Using data from the Large Hadron Collider and advanced quantum information science, evidence of entanglement between quarks and gluons was found within the proton. This discovery chal...
