Dyson PencilVac With Slim Design and Up to 30 Minutes Operation Time Announced
Dyson PencilVac has been launched in Japan. The vacuum cleaner is marketed as the slimmest offering in the market to date, featuring a 38mm diameter handle which houses all of the electronics powering it. It is equipped with Fluffycones which prevents the collected hair from getting entangled. Dyson PencilVac is omnidirectional with four circular b...

New Study Confirms TeV Halos Are Common in Middle-Aged Pulsars
A recent study by researchers from the U.S. and Mexico using data from the HAWC Observatory has confirmed that TeV halos are a universal feature of middle-aged pulsars. These extended regions of gamma-ray emission are significantly larger than pulsar wind nebulae and may help identify otherwise undetectable pulsars. The findings challenge existing ...

Scientists Transform Lead into Gold, But Only for a Fleeting Moment
In a landmark experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider, scientists briefly turned lead into gold by removing three protons through near-miss atomic collisions. The ALICE collaboration generated 89,000 gold atoms per second, though each existed only fleetingly. While economically insignificant, the breakthrough showcases the precision of particle ...

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...

Blackouts Around The World As Strongest Solar Flare Of 2025 Hits Earth, Experts Say "More To Come"
This powerful eruption sent streams of plasma and charged particles into space, contributing to widespread shortwave radio blackouts across multiple continents.

NASA’s IMAP Spacecraft Prepares to Map the Solar System’s Edge
NASA’s Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) has been delivered to the Astrotech facility near Kennedy Space Center for final preparations ahead of a tentatively planned launch in fall 2025. IMAP will map the heliosphere — the solar wind-driven bubble that shields our solar system from cosmic radiation. It is to orbit near Lagrange...

Alchemist's Dream Come True: Scientists Create Gold From Lead
Physicists at the LHC have created gold nuclei from lead atoms through high-energy collisions, achieving a feat once thought to be the realm of alchemy.

NASA's TRACERS Mission Rescheduled for 2025 to Explore Solar Wind and Earth's Magnetic Field
NASA has delayed its TRACERS mission to no earlier than 2025 to provide additional preparation time for the crew. The mission will send twin satellites to explore how solar wind interacts with Earth's magnetosphere, particularly through a process called magnetic reconnection. These high-speed solar particles can trigger auroras and impact satellite...

Shape-Recovering Liquid Accidentally Created by Student, Challenges the Law of Thermodynamics
Upon blending the oil, water, and nickel mixture, a shape-recovering liquid, which consistently returns to the shape of a Grecian urn, was formed. It defies the law of thermodynamics. Further investigations revealed that this strange behaviour of the particles is due to the magnetic field of the particles and not a violation of the law of thermodyn...

Food Particles Sticking To Your Pan? Here's How To Make The Most Of Them
You might already be practising this 'hack' in your kitchen but perhaps didn't know what the technical culinary term for this method is. It is called deglazing.

Scientists Spot a Key Difference in Matter and Antimatter Decay
A major difference in the decay of matter and antimatter has been observed in beauty-lambda baryons, according to new research from the LHCb experiment at CERN. The discovery provides insight into why the universe contains more matter than antimatter. Scientists found that the chance of this decay difference occurring randomly is less than one in t...

Mysterious Light Spiral Over Europe Traced to SpaceX Falcon 9 Reentry
On March 24, a glowing spiral appeared in the night sky across parts of Europe, including the UK, Sweden, Croatia, Poland, and Hungary. The formation lasted for about 12 minutes before fading. Experts confirmed it was caused by a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket reentering Earth's atmosphere after completing its mission. The phenomenon resulted from frozen f...

AMoRE Experiment Sets New Benchmark in Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay Research
The AMoRE experiment has made significant progress in refining the limits of neutrinoless double beta decay using molybdenum-100. While AMoRE-I set a new upper limit on the decay halflife, no clear signal was observed. The next phase, AMoRE-II, is being developed at Yemilab with enhanced detection systems to further explore this rare nuclear proces...

Did Black Hole Radiation Shape the Universe?
A study suggests that Hawking radiation, first proposed by Stephen Hawking, may have influenced the universe’s structure. According to reports, primordial black holes that existed in the early universe could have evaporated through Hawking radiation, impacting matter distribution. The research explores how these black holes might have shaped gala...
