Apple, Google and Samsung Reportedly Challenge India's New Proposal on Always-On Smartphone Location Tracking
The Government reportedly received a proposal from the Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) in June, which stated that user locations should only be provided if always-on smartphone location tracking is mandated. However, as per the report, Apple, Google, and Samsung have objected to the proposal citing privacy concerns. Currently, neithe...

Very Massive Stars Blow Away Outer Layers in Powerful Winds Before Black Hole Collapse
Massive stars may lose much more mass than expected before collapsing into black holes. A new study reveals that their powerful stellar winds strip outer layers early, reshaping theories of star evolution, black hole formation, and gravitational wave events. This research challenges previous models and helps explain observed features of stars like ...

Scientists Discover Clicking Sounds in Rig Sharks for the First Time
Sharks were long thought to be silent, but a surprising new study reveals that rig sharks can make clicking sounds when handled. Evolutionary biologist Carolin Nieder first discovered the clicks by accident during lab tests. These sounds—likely produced by snapping their flat teeth—occurred most often during initial handling, suggesting a stres...

Strange Planet Confirmed in Binary Star System Nu Octantis
Astronomers have confirmed the existence of a massive planet in the Nu Octantis binary star system, first suspected in 2004. Using advanced tools like the HARPS spectrograph, researchers found that the planet orbits in the opposite direction of one of the stars—a retrograde motion that keeps the system stable. The discovery of a white dwarf in th...

Google X Introduces Taara Chip to Enable High-Speed Internet via Light Beams
Google X has unveiled the Taara chip, a silicon photonics device that transmits high-speed internet via light beams. Unlike traditional fiber-optic cables, which require extensive underground installation, this technology provides a cost-effective and scalable alternative. Field tests demonstrated speeds of 10 Gbps over a one-kilometre distance. De...

Mysterious Planetary-Mass Objects May Form in Young Star System Clashes
Recent research challenges traditional views on planetary-mass objects, suggesting they may form through violent interactions between young star systems rather than standard planetary or stellar processes. Simulations indicate these clashes create dense gas filaments that evolve into free-floating objects, often in binary pairs. This discovery expl...

Strange Fast Radio Bursts Emerge from an Ancient Dead Galaxy, Baffling Scientists
Scientists have detected mysterious fast radio bursts (FRBs) from the outskirts of an 11 billion-year-old dead galaxy. This discovery challenges the belief that FRBs primarily originate from young, star-forming galaxies. Researchers suspect the bursts may result from colliding stars or a collapsing white dwarf. The Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mappi...

Roman Empire Flourished After Volcanic Eruption, New Study Reveals
A recent study challenges the long-standing belief that the Roman Empire’s decline was caused by volcanic eruptions and the Justinianic plague. Instead, the research reveals that the eastern Roman Empire, during the 6th century, experienced significant growth in population and trade. This new perspective, drawn from large-scale archaeological dat...

Chang'e-6 Mission Reveals Significant Reinforcement of Lunar Dynamo
The Chang'e-6 mission has provided crucial insights into the lunar dynamo’s evolution, revealing a surprising magnetic field strength of 5 to 21 microteslas (µT) around 2.8 billion years ago. This challenges previous assumptions that the lunar dynamo weakened after 3 billion years ago. The findings suggest that mechanisms such as a basal magma o...

New Study Challenges Planet Formation Models with PDS 70b’s Chemical Mystery
A new study on PDS 70b, a forming exoplanet located 400 light-years away, reveals a significant mismatch between its atmospheric composition and the surrounding protoplanetary disk. This discovery casts doubt on existing planet formation models, suggesting that more research is needed to understand how planets gather materials and elements during t...

Venus Never Had Oceans or Conditions to Support Life, New Study Finds
Scientists from the University of Cambridge have concluded that Venus likely never had oceans or conditions to support life. Their study, published in Nature Astronomy, analysed atmospheric chemistry and volcanic activity. They found that volcanic gases lacked significant steam, indicating the planet's interior has always been dry. This research ha...

Study Finds Venus Likely Never Had Oceans, Challenging Past Theories
Recent research published in Nature Astronomy challenges past ideas about Venus, suggesting it never had oceans or conditions for life. Analysis of the planet's volcanic gases and atmospheric composition revealed that Venus’s interior is dry, ruling out the presence of liquid water. This conclusion highlights the stark contrast between Venus and ...
