Astronomers Baffled By Mysterious Object Emitting X-Rays And Radio Waves In Milky Way
The object, designated ASKAP J1832-0911, is located 15,000 light-years away and its nature is currently unknown, though it could be a highly magnetized dead star or something entirely new.

China Launches AI-Powered Satellite Constellation to Build Space Supercomputer
On May 14, China launched the first 12 satellites of its Three-Body Computing Constellation, an ambitious project led by ADA Space and Zhejiang Lab. Set to include 2,800 satellites with a combined capacity of 1,000 peta operations per second, this space-based AI network uses natural cooling in orbit and high-speed laser communications. Designed to ...

New Study Sets Stronger Mass Limit on Ultralight Bosonic Dark Matter
A groundbreaking study has set a new lower bound on the mass of ultralight bosonic dark matter particles—2.2 × 10⁻²¹ eV. Using stellar motion data from the dwarf galaxy Leo II and advanced computational models, the team ruled out lighter masses that cannot form observed structures. This challenges the popular fuzzy dark matter theory and pav...

NASA Reveals a Fracture in Huge Cosmic Bone: Everything You Need to Know
With the use of the Chandra X-Ray Observatory, NASA has detected a fracture in the Milky Way. The bone is a galactic center filament that is based at a distance of 26,000 light years from Earth. The fracture would have occurred due to collisions with the neutron star, known as a pulsar, that spins rapidly. The scientists suspect that the fracture w...

NASA Spots Plankton Swarms from Space to Help Save North Atlantic Right Whales
North Atlantic Right Whales are one of the world’s most endangered mammals. They face threats from fishing gear entanglement and ship collisions. Scientists are now using NASA satellite data to track the whales’ key food source, the red coloured plankton Calanus finmarchicus, in the Gulf of Maine. By identifying swarms of this copepod via its n...

Blog | Who Is 'Natural'? The Selective Science Behind Testosterone 'Bans'
While testosterone takes centre stage in disputes of this nature, regulatory bodies often ignore other factors affecting athletic performance, without proper scientific backing and justification.

Nature's Ozempic? Scientists Uncover Potential Weight Loss Solution
Scientists have discovered a gut microbe and its metabolites that can naturally regulate blood sugar levels and sugar cravings, potentially replacing weight loss drugs like Ozempic with a natural alternative.

How AI Cameras Warn Villagers About Presence Of Snow Leopards In PoK
The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) have developed artificial intelligence (AI)-powered cameras to detect snow leopards and alert villagers to avoid the loss of livestock.

Earth’s Mantle Could Be Harbouring Ocean of Magma Formed Billions of Years Ago, Claims Study
The study conducted by Boukaré and published on March 26 in the Journal Nature suggests that this molten layer at the core-mantle boundary of the Earth formed the internal thermal structure of the planet and tectonic plates. This may still influence the geochemical process of the Earth today. Further, it suggests a similar magma ocean existence on...

Why April's Full Moon Is Called 'Pink Moon' Or 'Micromoon'
The full moon for April, also known as the Pink Moon or Paschal Moon, will rise on Saturday, April 12. April's "Pink Moon" signifies the "return of life and the resurgence of nature after winter's dormancy," according to the Old Farmer's Almanack.

Tropical Tree in Panama Evolves Shocking Defense, Strikes Rivals with Lightning Bolts
A few studies describe the tree as having strong internal conductivity, letting lightning current flow through without building up damaging heat like a well-insulated wire. Because they tend to grow large — up to 130 feet (40 meters)—and live for centuries, a single tonka bean tree is estimated to be struck at least five times after reaching ma...

New Study Reveals Chemical Secret Of Earth's 4.5 Years Billion Crust
Earth is the only known planet which has plate tectonics today. The constant movement of these giant slabs of rock over the planet's magma creates continents - and may have even helped create life.
