A raised hood may look familiar, but science reveals King cobras and common cobras differ sharply in venom, behaviour, and human risk, shaping how danger and survival truly compare.

Two newly discovered jumping spiders from Meghalaya highlight Northeast India’s hidden biodiversity, revealing how limited exploration still is and why scientists believe many more species remain waiting to be found.

NASA’s new X‑ray images reveal how supermassive black holes sculpt galaxy clusters. Jets, bubbles, and ripples reshape cosmic gas in surprising ways. But what hidden structures might still be waiting to appear?

A distant gamma-ray burst has led astronomers to a rare supernova from the Universe’s early years, revealed by JWST. But why does this ancient star look surprisingly modern?

Antarctica’s key glaciers are melting faster as underwater storms churn warm water upward. New research reveals surprising short-term forces driving the loss, raising fresh questions about how quickly global seas could rise.

Jakarta is sinking far faster than most cities, with entire districts dropping below sea level. Scientists warn of severe risks, but what forces are pushing the capital towards a perilous future?

India’s ISRO will launch the 6.5-tonne BlueBird-6 on 15 December, a mission promising new mobile broadband reach. But why does this satellite matter so much for global connectivity?

The skeleton sat inside the Suining Formation rock bed. This layer dates to 147 million years ago. The sediments indicate a lakeshore in a semi-arid zone.

India’s rare Western Tragopan shows recovery in captivity, but wild release is postponed. Scientists emphasise habitat safety and population readiness for long-term survival.

This International Mountain Day, explore the science behind the 10 world’s highest peaks, revealing geological forces, glacial processes, climate patterns and remarkable ecological adaptations shaping life at extreme altitudes.

Some birds stay aloft for astonishing lengths of time, using clever sleep habits to survive long flights. These remarkable species show how migration can push creatures to extraordinary limits.

Scientists reveal one side of Earth’s interior cools faster. The Pacific Ocean hemisphere loses heat quicker, influencing tectonics, volcanism and mantle circulation over millions of years.

A joyful wildlife moment captured in Rwanda has earned global praise, as judges celebrate a standout image that highlights humour, talent and the spirit of this year’s competition.

Discover how certain animals perceive the world without full color vision. This brief glimpse explores surprising species, unique adaptations, and the fascinating science behind their limited yet remarkable view today.

Sea urchins in the Canary Islands and Madeira are dying in record numbers. Scientists warn this die-off threatens coral reefs and marine ecosystems globally.

Many familiar creatures see the world very differently from humans, with limited colours shaping how they hunt, move and survive across land, sky and sea.

Scientists have discovered a tiny bright-orange pumpkin toadlet in Brazil’s cloud forests. Named Brachycephalus lulai, it highlights rainforest biodiversity and urgent conservation needs.

A mysterious star described in ancient texts continues to puzzle experts, as new research offers a fresh explanation for the celestial sign that guided the famed travellers.

Scientists warn Amazon forests face hypertropical conditions. Prolonged droughts could kill trees, reduce carbon storage and transform ecosystems. Immediate climate action is needed globally.

NASA confirms Mars orbiter MAVEN went offline. Engineers analyse the spacecraft, using other orbiters as backups to maintain Mars exploration and data collection.
