Producing green hydrogen has always required two separate machines: solar panels to generate electricity and an electrolyser to split water using that electricity, both of which add cost, maintenance, and often a grid connection. A four-person spin-off from Germany’s Karlsruhe Institute of Technology says it has found a way to skip the middle step entirely….
For centuries, plants have been associated with daylight, photosynthesis and the natural rhythms of the Sun. Now, researchers in China have taken a step that seems drawn from science fiction by creating plants capable of glowing after dark. It involves complex technologies such as biotechnology, material sciences, and plant engineering, and this is used to…
Radioactive specks buried deep inside ancient ocean crust are forcing scientists to rethink what Earth has been quietly passing through in space. These traces are not ordinary geological leftovers. Instead, they appear to be fragments of radioactive stardust material forged in violent cosmic events and scattered across the galaxy. What makes the discovery even more…
For a few precious months each year, the brightest and most photogenic region of the Milky Way rises high enough above the horizon to create one of nature’s most spectacular night-time displays. June marks the beginning of peak Milky Way season across much of the Northern Hemisphere, offering photographers their best opportunity to capture the…
Quote of the day by Richard P. Feynman One of the more unusual qualities of Richard Feynman was that he did not seem particularly interested in being the smartest person in the room.That may sound odd for a physicist who won the Nobel Prize and became one of the most recognisable scientific figures of the…
Edward Jenner (Image: Wikipedia) Imagine being so happy about your work that you lose yourself in a daydream while walking through a field. That is exactly what happened to an English country doctor more than 200 years ago. His name was Edward Jenner, and the work that filled him with such joy went on to…
Quote of the day by Louis Pasteur (Image source: Wikipedia) Not every quote explains itself immediately. Some sit quietly for a while before their meaning becomes clearer. The quote by Louis Pasteur is one of those. It speaks about inspiration, personal conviction and the unseen reasons behind human actions. At a glance, the wording may…
Isro chairman V Narayanan (Right) NEW DELHI: Isro chairman V Narayanan has revealed that the space agency is collaborating with the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) to develop an advanced artificial heating system for future lunar landers that can operate for up to 200 Earth days on the surface of the Moon.The announcement is important…
For centuries, honey bees have fascinated scientists with their ability to travel long distances, locate food and return unerringly to their hives. Now, a new study has revealed an even more remarkable skill hidden in plain sight. Researchers from the University of Freiburg have discovered that individual honey bees follow their own highly consistent flight…
Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, may one day become one of humanity’s most valuable destinations beyond Earth. A recent NASA-supported study led by planetary scientist Conor A. Nixon of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center examined Titan’s vast resource potential and how it could support future human exploration. Drawing on decades of observations from missions such as…
