Antarctic Winter Sea Ice Hits Third-Lowest Level In 47 Years
Antarctica's winter sea ice has hit its third-lowest peak in nearly half a century of satellite monitoring, researchers said Tuesday, highlighting the growing influence of climate change on the planet's southern pole.

Rubin Observatory Adopts New AI Algorithm to Enhance Cosmic Imaging
Scientists have developed ImageMM, an algorithm tested on Hawaii’s Subaru Telescope and soon to be used at the Rubin Observatory. The system reduces atmospheric blur, producing sharper images for studying galaxies and dark matter. Researchers believe the technique could make ground-based astronomy nearly as precise as space telescopes

Scientists Discover 63 Young Asteroid Families, Doubling Previous Record in Solar System
A new study published in Icarus has revealed 63 newly discovered young asteroid families, more than doubling the previously known count. Formed less than 10 million years ago, these groups provide fresh insights into asteroid evolution. Researchers say many more remain hidden, offering crucial clues about meteorite origins and potential Earth-impac...

Scientists May Finally Explain Mysterious Crown-Like Features on Venus
Venus’ distinctive crown-like coronae may be explained by heat trapped beneath a rigid mantle layer, according to recent studies. This discovery provides key insights into the planet’s geological activity and helps researchers compare Venus’ surface evolution to that of other planets in our solar system

Lightweight AI Framework Boosts Speed and Accuracy of UAV Remote Sensing Object Detection
Researchers from Osaka Metropolitan University developed SORA-DET, a lightweight framework that boosts UAV object detection with higher accuracy and faster speed. Using novel modules like PRepConvBlock and SB-FPN, it delivers strong results with far fewer parameters. The system promises real-world benefits in disaster response, environmental monito...

Study Reveals How Humans Touch Unfamiliar Objects, Shaping Human–Robot Interaction Research
A Harvard-led study has revealed that humans form unique touch patterns when exploring unfamiliar objects without goals. By categorizing movements into observational, perceptual, constructive, and hedonic actions, researchers found responses shaped by prior knowledge and object changes. The findings, published in PLOS One, may guide intuitive desig...

Fact Check: Donald Trump's Tylenol And Autism Claims Don't Match Science
President Donald Trump announced Monday that his administration is strongly recommending that women limit Tylenol use during pregnancy unless medically necessary. But his comments came under intense criticism from medical experts and researchers

Our Bodies Emit A Faint Visible Light That Fades When We Die, Suggests Study
This phenomenon, known as ultraweak photon emission (UPE) or biophoton emission, suggests that all living things subtly glow during life, a glow that fades when life ends.

Scientists Confirm Ancient Asteroid Impact Created North Sea’s Silverpit Crater 43 Million Years Ago
New research confirms the Silverpit Crater in the North Sea was formed by an asteroid impact around 43 million years ago. Using seismic imaging and rare mineral evidence, scientists proved the impact origin beyond doubt, resolving a debate that lasted two decades and placing the crater among Earth’s rare, well-preserved impact structures.

Bird-Inspired Robot With Innovative Wing Design Achieves Self-Takeoff and Controlled Flight
Researchers in China have unveiled RoboFalcon 2.0, a bird-inspired robot with flapping, sweeping, and folding wing motions. Unlike earlier versions, it can achieve self-takeoff and maintain flight at low speeds. Tested in wind tunnels and real-world trials, the design showed improved control and reduced strain on lift. While limitations remain, suc...
