NASA-ISRO Launch Joint Space Biology Experiments on Axiom Mission 4
NASA and ISRO are launching a series of innovative biological and technological experiments aboard Axiom Mission 4, targeting a June 10 liftoff. Investigations will explore muscle cell health, seed germination, algae growth, and the survival of tardigrades in space. They will also study astronaut interactions with electronic displays. These microgr...

New Study Confirms TeV Halos Are Common in Middle-Aged Pulsars
A recent study by researchers from the U.S. and Mexico using data from the HAWC Observatory has confirmed that TeV halos are a universal feature of middle-aged pulsars. These extended regions of gamma-ray emission are significantly larger than pulsar wind nebulae and may help identify otherwise undetectable pulsars. The findings challenge existing ...

Iguanas Travelled 5,000 Miles to Fiji on Rafts 34 Million Years Ago
Iguanas undertook a remarkable 5,000-mile journey from North America to Fiji around 34 million years ago. According to a new genetic study, these reptiles floated on rafts of vegetation, possibly due to extreme weather events. The research, published in PNAS, found that Fiji’s iguanas are closely related to North American species, contradicting e...

Alpha Centauri May Have Sent Millions of Asteroids into the Solar System
A study proposes that Alpha Centauri could be contributing a significant number of asteroids to the solar system. Simulations indicate that around 50 objects from the neighboring star system may enter the Oort Cloud annually. While most pass through due to their high velocity, a few could travel inward. The frequency of such occurrences is expected...

UCLA Unveils SPLITTER, a Tethered Jumping Robot for Space Exploration
Researchers at UCLA’s RoMeLa lab have developed SPLITTER, a robotic system designed for planetary exploration through tethered jumping. The system consists of two quadrupedal robots connected by a tether, allowing efficient movement in low-gravity environments like the Moon and asteroids. Unlike traditional rovers, SPLITTER’s design enables sta...

7,000-Year-Old Arrow Poison Found in South Africa, Shows Ancient Hunting Skills
A 7,000-year-old antelope femur found in a South African cave has been identified as the earliest evidence of a multi-component arrow poison. Researchers discovered toxic compounds, including digitoxin and strophanthidin, revealing ancient humans’ advanced knowledge of plant toxins. The study suggests long-distance trade or travel for these ingre...

New Supercomputer Set to Propel Electric Spacecraft Technology Forward
Electric propulsion technology, powered by ion engines, is gaining traction for its efficiency in space travel. However, challenges such as back-scattered electrons from the ion plume threaten spacecraft components like solar arrays and antennas. Recent research by scientists from the University of Virginia and the University of Southern California...

Groundbreaking Propulsion Method Using Relativistic Electron Beams Could Enable Interstellar Travel
A new propulsion method, using relativistic electron beams, could make interstellar travel feasible within a human lifetime. Researchers Jeff Greason and Gerrit Bruhaug have proposed accelerating electrons to near light speed to deliver kinetic energy to spacecraft. This method could enable probes to reach 10% of the speed of light, drastically red...

Common Noctule Bats Use Warm Winds to Migrate More Than 1000 km Across Europe, Claims Study
Researchers have tracked the migration of common noctule bats using lightweight transmitters, uncovering their remarkable ability to travel over 1000 kilometers in just a few days. These bats adapt their routes and timing based on environmental factors, such as tailwinds and warming weather conditions, to maximise efficiency. The study provides cri...
