An ancient shark older than forests still glides through deep oceans today. Its strange teeth, slow life cycle, and dinosaur-era origins reveal how early seas shaped survival across mass extinctions.
Australia’s ancient rocks are acting like natural clocks, revealing how landscapes changed over billions of years through cosmic radiation, helping scientists understand Earth’s past and future.
Scientists have discovered a tropical “dynamite tree” that explosively launches seeds at 150 mph. The mechanism uses physics, not biology, revealing nature’s fastest plant dispersal methods ever recorded.
Thousands of grey-headed flying foxes have died in Australia’s extreme heat. Scientists warn climate change is intensifying heat stress, threatening vulnerable bat populations, while volunteers rush to rescue survivors.
Discover the world’s oldest turtles, from Jonathan to Alagba, whose lifespans span centuries. Learn the science behind their longevity, historical significance and why they continue to fascinate researchers and nature lovers alike.
The Resplendent Quetzal dazzles with emerald-green feathers and a crimson belly, hiding in misty cloud forests. Its elusive nature and legendary tail plumes make it a symbol of freedom and mystery.
NASA satellites captured a striking bright blue plume in the Caribbean after Hurricane Melissa. The unusual colour revealed stirred seabed sediments, hidden ocean currents and powerful storm impacts on marine ecosystems.
Scientists have finally photographed a whale known only from sounds and remains, linking a mysterious deep-sea signal to a living species and revealing unexpected habitats beneath Pacific waters.
Some dog breeds rival motorcycles in weight, shaped by centuries of work and strength. From towering Great Danes to massive Mastiffs, these gentle giants redefine what “big dog” truly means.
Astronomers discovered Gomez’s Hamburger, a massive protoplanetary disk. Edge-on view shows dust and gas layers with clumps forming potential giant planets. This system offers rare insight into early planet formation.
A devastating ice age wiped out most marine life, yet new research reveals how this ancient disaster unexpectedly paved the way for jawed vertebrates to rise and dominate Earth’s oceans.
January 13 marks the birthday of Rakesh Sharma who became India’s first astronaut in 1984 inspiring generations. He turned 77 today. His historic flight opened new paths for India’s space missions and human spaceflight ambitions.
Researchers in Xi’an found city air microplastics tripled after COVID-19, with masks and pollution driving fibers into lungs, raising new questions about health risks and urban pollution patterns.
A new primate study links same-sex behaviour to survival, social bonding, and environmental stress, raising intriguing questions about evolution, group stability, and how ancient pressures may still shape social life today.
Astronomers spotted comet C/2025 R3, potentially visible without telescopes. It will approach Earth and Sun in April 2026, creating a spectacular celestial show for global skywatchers and astronomy enthusiasts.
SpaceX launched 29 more Starlink satellites from Florida, reused a veteran Falcon 9 booster, and inched closer to global internet coverage, raising questions about how fast the constellation will grow next.
NASA astronaut Sunita Williams will attend Kerala Literature Festival 2026, which is scheduled to run from 22–25 January sharing her space journeys, leadership lessons and insights into human curiosity, inspiring audiences of all ages in Kozhikode.
Researchers discovered Mars subtly affects Earth’s orbit and axial tilt. These small changes help trigger ice ages and influence global climate cycles consistently over millions of years.
Scientists confirm a record-breaking green anaconda in the Amazon, revealing new species clues, surprising sizes, invasive risks, and unanswered questions about even larger snakes still hidden within remote river systems.
Scientists have found hints that ghostly neutrinos may interact with dark matter. The unexpected link could help explain mysterious differences between cosmic theories and real observations.
