NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has spotted the biggest planet-forming disk ever discovered. The finding reveals violent chaos where planets may be born very differently than once thought.
At just 15, Laurent Simons has earned a PhD in quantum physics. Scientists are watching closely as his work and future ambitions could shape next-generation science and human health.
A dusting of snow blanketed Chile’s Atacama Desert, one of the driest places on Earth. Scientists captured this unusual event, sparking curiosity worldwide.
A Nile crocodile measuring an astonishing 21 feet has been recorded as the largest ever. Researchers in Africa are amazed by this record-breaking apex predator.
ISRO successfully launched the BlueBird 6 satellite, its heaviest Low Earth Orbit mission on 24 December. The satellite will provide direct 4G and 5G connectivity to smartphones globally, bridging digital divides.
A rare Himalayan red fox was spotted near Pangong Lake, Ladakh. Experts explain why such encounters are uncommon and why conservation focuses on behaviour, not numbers.
The Week Magazine announced Shubhanshu Shukla "The Man of the Year". He is first Indian astronaut to visit the ISS. His journey from Lucknow inspires India’s space ambitions and future generations.
When sharks and crocodiles meet, science shows no clear victor exists. Survival, strategy, speed and strength determine outcomes, but most encounters end with caution, retreat and evolutionary balance in play.
Axolotls and flatworms regenerate lost body parts through body-wide coordination, not local repair. Scientists analysed that this theory of regeneration could reshape regenerative medicine.
Asteroid 2024 YR4 is about 60 metres long, may hit the Moon in December of the year 2032. Scientists assured that Earth is safe, but lunar debris could affect satellites and missions.
BlueBird Block-2 has been designed by AST SpaceMobile as part of a next-generation satellite constellation aimed at providing direct-to-mobile connectivity.
From crewed Moon flybys to Mars test flights, 2026 reshapes global space ambitions, with NASA, ISRO, SpaceX, China and Europe planning missions that signal where exploration heads next globally ahead.
Earth’s magnetic north pole has shifted toward Russia, prompting updates to GPS and navigation systems worldwide. Scientists track this invisible movement to keep technology accurate.
They are smaller than a finger, yet louder than jet engines. Snapping shrimp are flooding coastal waters with sound, disrupting marine research. Scientists warn their noise could reshape how oceans are studied worldwide.
NASA’s Chandra telescope reveals galaxies and nebulae dressed for the holidays. X-rays show star formation, cosmic collisions and a universe celebrating 2025 in spectacular style.
Scientists say cockroach milk contains four times more protein than cow’s milk. Here’s how it works, its benefits, risks, and whether humans could ever drink it.
Scientists declared 2025, the year of the Blooming Octopus following an unprecedented increase in numbers since 1950.The spotted are Octopus vulgaris, which is a species commonly seen in the warmer Mediterranean Sea. UK’s coastal waters are witnessing a marine phenomenon rarely seen.
Astronomers have witnessed shocking cosmic collisions around Fomalhaut, a nearby star just 25 light-years away. Giant space rocks smashed apart, rewriting what scientists thought they knew about planetary systems.
Scientists have discovered that male honeybee begging behaviour is controlled by a single gene called Fru. This gene determines how drones obtain food from worker bees, revealing some complex social interactions genetically programmed.
Astronomers discover that starlight alone cannot launch cosmic dust from giant stars. This finding challenges decades of assumptions about how life’s essential atoms spread through space.
From dark matter to Venus’s hidden secrets, 2026 promises shocking discoveries. Astronomers are racing to solve cosmic puzzles that have baffled humanity. Explore the top space mysteries being investigated this year.
Scientists have discovered that most freshwater fish may have originated in ancient oceans, not rivers. Fossils and DNA now reveal a surprising evolutionary journey that reshapes biology.
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has discovered a lemon-shaped exoplanet, PSR J2322‑2650b, with an extreme atmosphere unlike any previously seen. The bizarre world defies planetary science and stretches imagination beyond limits.
NASA satellites have detected tiny red plankton swarming the oceans, revealing critical feeding grounds for endangered North Atlantic right whales. This breakthrough could transform ocean conservation and protect marine giants.
