Say Goodbye To Reading Glasses? Scientists Develop Eye Drops That May Restore Vision
The study showed that an hour after the eye drops were administered, patients could read extra lines on eye test charts.

DNA Cassette Tapes Could Transform the Future of Digital Storage
Researchers in China have developed a DNA “cassette tape” that stores data at densities far beyond current drives. By encoding digital files into DNA strands embedded on tape, the system allows compact, sustainable archival storage. A 100-meter DNA tape could hold 36 petabytes, reshaping the future of data centers.

New 'Quasi-Moon' Discovered in Earth Orbit May Have Been Hiding There for Decades
Astronomers have identified asteroid 2025 PN7 as a possible quasi-moon of Earth, trailing our planet for nearly 70 years. At just 62 feet wide, it is the smallest and least stable quasi-satellite detected so far. Researchers believe advanced observatories like the Vera Rubin Observatory could uncover more hidden companions in Earth-like orbits

Busy Weekend for ISS as Progress 93 Docks and Cygnus XL Prepares for Launch
Roscosmos Progress 93 and Northrop Grumman’s Cygnus XL are set for back-to-back ISS deliveries. Progress 93 brings food, fuel, and supplies, while Cygnus XL carries its heaviest load of science gear. Expedition 73 astronauts will manage both arrivals as they continue health, radiation, and plasma experiments, showcasing vital international collab...

NASA’s X-59 Quiet Supersonic Jet Prepares for First Flight, to Fly Without the Sonic Boom
NASA’s X-59 quiet supersonic jet is nearing its first flight, equipped with advanced safety systems, redundant backups, and pilot protections

Researchers Create Metal That Resists Cracking in Deep Space Cold
Researchers have engineered a cobalt-nickel-vanadium alloy that stays tough even at –186°C, resisting the brittleness that plagues most metals in extreme cold. Using atomic-scale design, the team created dual structural patterns inside the alloy that block cracks and preserve ductility. In lab tests, the metal absorbed far more strain than conve...

Butterfly-Shaped Hole in the Sun Could Spark Solar Storms Worldwide This Weekend
A giant butterfly-shaped coronal hole on the Sun is blasting solar wind toward Earth, expected to trigger geomagnetic storm conditions on Sept. 13–14. Forecasts suggest possible G1 to G2 levels, raising chances for auroras across mid- and high-latitudes. Scientists note the equinox effect could intensify activity, offering a prime opportunity for...

Astronomers Discover Rogue Black Hole Racing Through a Distant Dwarf Galaxy
Astronomers have discovered a rogue intermediate-mass black hole speeding through a dwarf galaxy 230 million light-years away. Unlike typical galactic centres, this displaced object is accreting material and blasting out jets, suggesting black holes can grow “offsite”. The finding offers rare evidence of elusive intermediate black holes and may...

Astronomers Predict 90 Percent Chance of Spotting an Exploding Black Hole in Next Decade
Astronomers now predict a 90% chance of detecting an exploding primordial black hole within a decade. Such an event would confirm Stephen Hawking’s theory that black holes evaporate, releasing a flash of radiation and exotic particles. Detecting one would revolutionize physics and rewrite our understanding of the universe.

Researchers Reconstruct 2,500-Year-Old Faces From Skulls Found in Tamil Nadu
Researchers reconstructed lifelike faces from 2,500-year-old skulls found at Kondagai, Tamil Nadu. Linked to Keeladi’s Iron Age city, the portraits highlight advanced water systems, early Tamil script, and brick houses. The reconstructions provide a rare human link to South India’s sophisticated ancient urban culture.

Black Hole Kicked Away? Gravitational Waves Reveal Einstein’s Ripples in Spacetime
Astronomers have, for the first time, measured the recoil speed and direction of a newborn black hole using gravitational waves. Data from the 2019 event GW190412 revealed the remnant shot away at 50 km/s. This breakthrough shows gravitational waves can reconstruct full 3D motion, offering new ways to connect black hole mergers with light signals.
