Concrete has been the backbone of construction for centuries. Roads, bridges, skyscrapers, and all of it rely on the same old inert material. It is hard, durable, and predictable. But a new material is quietly challenging that norm. It grows, breathes, and even heals its own cracks. Scientists have created a living wall material that…
Gold was not born on our planet Earth; it was forged in a violent ‘cosmic forge’ far beyond our solar system. Research published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters identifies a ‘missing link’ in the cosmos, proving that gold existed in the early universe long before rare star collisions could create it, with the identification of…
The night sky is like a picture with lots of stars. Now people are getting really worried about what’s happening to it. Astronomers around the world are saying we need to be careful. Two plans are causing a lot of trouble. One plan is to put up a bunch of mirrors in space that will…
It was a Saturday afternoon in Texas when something big happened. A loud boom was heard over the Houston area. People around saw a fireball going across the sky. One woman said something crazier happened to her. She claimed a piece of space rock went through her roof. This story got a lot of attention….
The sky could host a brief but remarkable event in early April 2026. Astronomers are closely tracking a newly discovered sungrazing comet, officially named C/2026 A1 MAPS. As reported by Universe Today, it was first observed in January by a team operating telescopes in Chile’s Atacama Desert. What makes this comet notable is not just…
Although the concept seems like something from science fiction, science is rapidly adopting it. Researchers have started creating ‘cyborg cockroaches,’ which are live insects equipped with tiny electronic ‘backpacks’ that allow them to navigate areas that are too small or hazardous for humans. The potential application of this discovery in pipeline inspection, where these insects…
NEW DELHI: If you’ve spent money on creams, peels or lasers and your acne scars still refuse to fade, the issue may not be the treatment — it may be how deep the scars actually go.A new study by doctors at Delhi’s ABVIMS and Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital shows that acne scars are far more…
Scientists have made an astonishing finding that brings us closer than ever to the concept of ‘Green Mars’, by discovering a desert moss species – Syntrichia caninervis – which may be able to act as a pioneer in colonising the Red Planet. A paper published in The Innovation (Cell Press) details the abilities of this…
Planting trees is often described as a simple way to deal with climate change. The idea is easy to understand. Trees take in carbon dioxide and store it. Forests also support wildlife and help regulate water systems. Because of this, many governments and companies have promised to plant large numbers of trees. The expectation is…
Avi Loeb urges NASA to examine ‘shiny’ cone-like object spotted on Mars/ Medium The roughly 20-centimetre object was first photographed by NASA‘s Curiosity Rover in 2022 but has never been officially identified. Avi Loeb says it should be the rover’s top priority. A Harvard University astrophysicist is calling on NASA to redirect its Curiosity Rover…
