A renewable energy-powered solar thermal system has been developed by the Defence Institute of High Altitude Research (DIHAR), Leh to provide heat for shelters in cold, high-altitude environments, ensuring comfortable living conditions.

Blue Origin has postponed the launch of its second human-rated New Shepard mission, NS-27, due to a GPS malfunction. Initially set for 13th October, the mission aims to send a newly developed rocket-capsule combination into suborbital space. This delay raises concerns about the reliability of the New Shepard programme, which has previously complete...

The Taiwanese government is considering support for TSMC suppliers to invest in a Czech location that is close to Dresden, according to Wu. He said he is also seeking to facilitate joint research and development programs for academics in Taiwan and the Czech Republic.

The Nobel Prize in Economics was awarded on Monday to Turkish-American Daron Acemoglu and British-Americans Simon Johnson and James Robinson for research into wealth inequality between nations.

The research, led by Spanish scientists suggests Christopher Columbus concealed Sephardic Jewish roots to escape persecution.

As per the research, unvaccinated individuals infected with the virus in 2019 and 2020 are at a notably higher risk of experiencing a heart attack or stroke, with this risk lasting for up to three years after infection.

A new study reveals that Google’s 67-qubit Sycamore quantum processor can outperform the fastest classical supercomputers. Researchers discovered a “weak noise phase” in which quantum computers execute complex calculations more efficiently. This breakthrough represents a crucial step towards developing practical applications that cannot be ac...

A recent study reveals the first successful use of radioactive ion beams to treat tumours in mice. Scientists utilised carbon-11 ions to pinpoint treatment locations, offering real-time tracking capabilities. This advancement could lead to more precise cancer therapies, especially for tumours located near sensitive areas.

New studies suggest the dramatic temperature increase seen in 2023 was largely influenced by the Pacific’s El Niño, which followed several years of cooling La Niña conditions. While researchers have ruled out some contributing factors, questions about this record-breaking year remain, particularly as temperatures exceeded typical El Niño patte...

While Columbus is traditionally believed to have been from Genoa, Italy, alternative theories suggest he may have been a Spanish Jew, Greek, Basque, or Portuguese.

Researchers from NASA and India’s ISRO have collaborated to study the interaction between a massive black hole and a star that ventured too close. Using multiple observatories, including AstroSat, they discovered the link between tidal disruption events and quasi-periodic eruptions. This research offers new insights into the expanding debris disk...

A case report in the BMJ details the first known case of the “breakdance bulge” – a benign tumour on the scalp, caused by the repeated friction and pressure exerted during headspins.

Researchers in Denmark have claimed to have developed a breakthrough new pill that mimics the effects and benefits of strenuous exercise without moving a muscle.

The 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to David Baker for his work in computational protein design, and to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper for their AI model that predicts protein structures. These achievements advance our understanding of proteins, which are crucial for life. Their research could lead to innovations in pharmaceutical...

New research shows that the brain organises daily experiences into segments, much like scenes in a movie. The study reveals that memory boundaries are not solely determined by external factors, but also by personal priorities and interpretations. The findings indicate that we have more control over how we perceive and recall experiences than previo...
