Astronomers discovered a companion star in Kappa Tucanae A, explaining the persistence of hot dust and creating a natural laboratory for exoplanetary research.
Unexpectedly resilient dusty structures circling Sagittarius A* are now confirmed to contain stars, overturning theories about object survival in extreme black hole environments.
New kaolinite-rich rocks uncovered by NASA’s Perseverance rover suggest Mars once hosted warm, rainy environments that may have supported early microbial life in ancient wet climates.
The study places these findings within the late Middle Palaeolithic, a time marked by wide cultural diversity among Neandertal groups.
For decades, astronomers have detected an unusual mix of ionised gas in the local clouds. Roughly 20% of hydrogen and 40% of helium appear ionised.
Scientists mapped ancient Martian rivers and drainage basins, revealing past water flows and habitable environments of Mars’s climate and geological history.
Astronomers observed giant helium clouds escaping exoplanet WASP-107b, revealing atmospheric loss and offering key insight into the evolution of super-puff planets in space.
Einstein explained that gravity affects each passing second. Clocks slow down where gravity grows stronger. Clocks speed up where gravity becomes weaker.
Humpback whale populations have surged from 10,000 to nearly 80,000, thanks to conservation efforts and their incredible ability to adapt and switch food sources. A new study reveals how this flexibility—and changing habitats—are shaping their success.
Ancient Antarctic Bottom Water expansion triggered carbon release and ended the last Ice Age, offering critical insight into ocean circulation’s role in global climate change.
Bats communicate in high ultrasonic frequencies. Humans cannot hear these contact calls naturally. Special audio equipment captured each call clearly.
A new ISS experiment reveals how everyday products like sunscreen, mayonnaise and medicines age and change in space—unlocking insights to improve materials on Earth.
A 31-year study by the University of Granada shows that the COVID lockdown led to the highest-ever recorded breeding success for the endangered Bonelli’s eagle. With human activity reduced, the rare raptor thrived—revealing how much human presence impacts wildlife.
Wisdom, the world’s oldest known wild bird, has returned to Midway Atoll to lay another egg at 75, reshaping scientific understanding of avian longevity.
Scientists rediscovered bamboo shrimp in India after seventy-two years, revealing hidden freshwater biodiversity, correcting taxonomic confusion and highlighting urgent conservation needs for vulnerable river ecosystems.
Most pinks gain colour from lattice distortion. The crystal then absorbs light differently. Too much strain shifts the tone brown. Too little strain leaves the diamond clear.
A teenager’s summer dig in Montana led to an unexpected scientific moment, offering a rare glimpse into ancient history and highlighting a student’s growing passion for discovery.

Learn the science behind how furry animals survive winter through thick fur, fat layers, hibernation and behavioural strategies, revealing remarkable adaptations.
A newly discovered fire amoeba survives temperatures up to 63°C, challenging biological limits and reshaping understanding of complex life in extreme environments.
A tiny salmon parasite has become the first animal proven to survive without oxygen, overturning long-held biology assumptions and reshaping how scientists define life.
Discover how newts and salamanders differ in appearance, habitat, skin texture and life cycle, revealing surprising traits behind these fascinating amphibian cousins.
Scientists discovered Earth’s episodic squishy lid, showing intermittent tectonic activity, revealing new insights into planetary evolution, habitability and the search for life beyond Earth.
Astronomers mapped supernova SN 2024ggi for the first time, revealing an elongated shockwave, challenging old stellar explosion models and reshaping astrophysics understanding globally.
A 14-year-old innovator designed a Miura-ori origami structure strong enough to support 10,000× its weight, earning him the top $25,000 STEM prize.
