Astronomers Spot Galaxies Moving in Sync Across a 50-Million-Light-Year Stretch
Astronomers have identified a 50-million-light-year-long cosmic filament in which 14 gas-rich galaxies all rotate in sync with the structure itself. The filament, mapped about 140 million light-years away, appears young, cold and shaped by slow cosmic flows. Galaxies on opposite ends move in opposite directions, suggesting the entire filament is sp...

Webb’s Stunning View of Apep Shows a Rare Triple-Star System Wrapped in Spirals
Webb’s mid-infrared images of Apep reveal a rare triple-star system producing vast carbon-rich dust spirals from colliding stellar winds. The two Wolf–Rayet stars and a distant supergiant create layered shells that record centuries of activity and enrich the galaxy with elements vital for future stars and planets.

James Webb Telescope May Have Spotted First Generation of Stars in the Universe
Astronomers using JWST may have discovered Population III stars in cluster LAP1-B, offering new insights into early galaxy formation and the universe’s first luminous objects. JWST observations suggest Population III stars may have formed 13 billion years ago, helping trace early galaxies. These stars might be building blocks for larger galaxies ...

Are We Living In A Simulation? Here's What Scientists Have Said
In their study, they identified what they called "Godelian truths", truths that cannot be defined by any algorithm or fixed rules.

Carnegie Mellon’s AI Drones Can Build Mid-Air Structures With 90 Percent Success Rate
Carnegie Mellon engineers have unveiled AI-controlled drones that 3D print by snapping magnetic blocks together mid-air. Powered by a large language model, the drones translate simple commands into precise construction plans, achieving 90% accuracy. The technology could enable aerial infrastructure repair and emergency shelter construction in hard-...

James Webb Telescope Finds Early Universe Galaxies Were More Chaotic Than We Thought
The James Webb Space Telescope has revealed that galaxies in the early universe were far more chaotic and unstable than once believed. A new study shows that gas turbulence and intense star formation disrupted young galaxies, reshaping scientists’ understanding of how galaxies evolved into the structured systems seen today.

How 2025 Nobel Prize Winner Australian Chemist's Work Is Changing World
The 2025 Nobel prize in chemistry has been awarded for the development of metalorganic frameworks: molecular structures that have large spaces within them, capable of capturing and storing gases and other chemicals.

JWST Reveals Stunning New Details About M87’s Supermassive Black Hole Jet
Recent images captured by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) are the clearest ever pictures of the jet arriving from the massive black hole in the galaxy named Messier 87 (M87). There are clear details in the image shot by the telescope, which show the change of brightness, shape and the jet that is usually in disguise. As per scientists, this d...

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...

NASA’s InSight Reveals Ancient Planetary Remains Preserved Deep Inside Mars
Scientists using NASA’s InSight lander data have uncovered dozens of dense blobs hidden in Mars’ mantle, possibly remnants of failed protoplanets from the early solar system. Preserved for billions of years, these structures reveal Mars’ mantle evolved sluggishly compared with Earth, offering a unique window into planetary formation and the v...

Astronomers Capture Sharpest-Ever Solar Flare Images with NSF’s DKIST Telescope
Astronomers have achieved a major breakthrough by capturing the sharpest images of a solar flare ever recorded, using the National Science Foundation’s Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST). Observed at the hydrogen-alpha wavelength during the decay of an X1.3-class solar flare, the images unveiled hundreds of ultra-fine coronal loops averagin...

NASA’s IXPE Challenges Theories on Black Hole Corona and Polarised X-Ray Emissions
NASA’s Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) has made surprising observations in a black hole binary system, detecting a high degree of X-ray polarisation that challenges current models of corona structure and accretion discs. In X-ray binaries, black holes pull matter from nearby stars, forming hot accretion discs and coronas.

ESA’s Mars Express Discovers Deep Valleys and Frozen Features Hinting at Mars’ Icy Past
In July 2025, the European Space Agency’s Mars Express orbiter captured a high-resolution image of Acheron Fossae, a region marked by deep chasms and ridges on Mars’s surface. These features, created by ancient crustal stretching, split the terrain into raised horsts and sunken grabens. Valley floors reveal smooth surfaces carved by slow-moving...
