When planning to shift to the Moon, where would humans live? Prior to the move, one would have to carry all the cement, water and building materials from Earth and build homes first. The entire idea seems practically impossible and this is why a recent study has provided an interesting alternative to all this hard…
Most asteroids drifting through our solar system are made of rock or ice, but one stands out as strikingly different. Known as Psyche, or 16 Psyche, this metal-rich asteroid orbits the Sun between Mars and Jupiter, and scientists believe it could actually be the exposed core of a small planet that broke apart billions of…
When Solar Impulse 2 returned to Abu Dhabi in July 2016, it completed something that had never been achieved before. The aircraft had travelled around the world powered only by energy collected from the sun, finishing a journey of roughly 40,000 kilometres without using conventional fuel. It was not built to prove that commercial airliners…
A surprising new scientific study has revealed that the heart has a small network of neurons capable of controlling essential bodily functions. The research conducted at Yale University in US, was published in July 2026 in the scientific journal Cell. It revealed that this nervous system participates in regulating heartbeats and also protects the organ…
Why do sperm whale release gas bubbles while sleeping vertically When it comes to marine life, there are facts beyond human imagination. In the most recent findings, scientists discovered a lesser-known fact about sperm whales and their resting mechanism. According to them, sperm whales have a fantastic way of resting far beneath the ocean waves….

We view technologies like electric vehicles and battery storage systems as beneficial for the planet, but…
An astronaut caring for plants inside the Veggie growth chamber, part of NASA’s long-running research into producing fresh food during extended space missions. Growing fresh vegetables aboard the International Space Station has become a familiar part of NASA‘s efforts to support astronauts on long-duration missions. Now, researchers believe those same plants could take on a…
For centuries, honey bees introduced from Europe quietly became part of life across the Americas, pollinating crops and producing honey without drawing much attention beyond farms and gardens. That picture shifted during the second half of the twentieth century after an agricultural breeding project in Brazil took an unexpected turn. What began as an attempt…
A vial containing magnetic adsorbent material designed to remove microplastics, nanoplastics, some PFAS and other contaminants from wastewater. Scientists at RMIT University in Australia have built a reusable magnetic material that removed more than 95% of micro- and nanoplastics from water within one hour and showed early promise against some PFAS.The new water treatment technology…
Since the first planet beyond our solar system was confirmed in the 1990s, astronomers have gone on to catalogue more than 6,000 exoplanets, yet not a single moon orbiting any of them has ever been confirmed. That long, frustrating gap in the search for exomoons may have just gotten stranger rather than simpler. While studying…
