Parker Solar Probe Witnesses Unprecedented Sunward Plasma Jet Driven by Magnetic Reconnection
NASA's Parker Solar Probe has made a groundbreaking discovery, observing an unprecedented plasma explosion in the Sun's corona. This rare event produced a sunward jet of particles, with protons accelerated to nearly 1,000 times the expected energy. Scientists traced this phenomenon back to a magnetic reconnection site, where twisted solar magnetic ...

Black Hole With Powerful Jet Illuminated By Universe's 'Oldest Light' Spotted
The black hole is located 11.6 billion light-years from Earth, with its powerful jet illuminated by the leftover glow from the Big Bang.

MAVEN Reveals How Mars Lost Its Atmosphere and Became a Barren World
NASA’s MAVEN spacecraft has provided the first direct evidence of "sputtering"—a powerful atmospheric escape process where solar wind particles blast atoms off Mars. The newly published study confirms that this process played a major role in the Red Planet’s transformation from a once-wet, habitable world to its current barren state. Argon ga...

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...
