NASA’s Artemis II Rocket Reaches Launch Pad 39B, Final Countdown Begins

Cape Canaveral, March 22, 2026: NASA’s Artemis II mission has reached a critical milestone, with the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft now standing at Launch Pad 39B at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, setting the stage for the first crewed lunar mission in more than five decades. The towering 322-foot-tall Moon […]

NASA to stream launch and docking of ‘Progress 94 cargo spacecraft’ to ISS

NASA to stream launch and docking of ‘Progress 94 cargo spacecraft’ to ISS

NASA is set to broadcast the launch and arrival of a Russian cargo spacecraft carrying essential supplies to astronauts aboard the International Space Station, as part of routine resupply operations that keep the orbital lab running. The uncrewed Progress 94 spacecraft, operated by Russia’s space agency Roscosmos, is scheduled to lift off on Sunday, March […]

Huge Craters On an Asteroid Psyche Could Provide Clues to Early Planets

Huge Craters On an Asteroid Psyche Could Provide Clues to Early Planets

Another investigation that forms the structure of massive craters on asteroid 16 Psyche is providing new perspectives on one of the most persistent mysteries of the Solar System, whether the metallic object is the open core of an unsuccessful planet or a complex of debris formed during numerous collisions. The scientists in the Lunar and […]

DNA Gaps: Why Most Neanderthal Men Preferred to Sleep With Modern Female Humans?

DNA Gaps: Why Most Neanderthal Men Preferred to Sleep With Modern Female Humans?

The latest genetic study indicates that initial interactions between Neanderthals and modern humans were uneven, with some indication that most of the Neanderthals were men who slept with female modern humans, which could be the reason behind long term gaps in human DNA. The experiment conducted by researcher, Alexander Platt and other researchers, investigates the […]

Bull Sharks Form Social Bonds, Finds Study; Changes age-Old Perception of Predators

Bull Sharks Form Social Bonds, Finds Study; Changes age-Old Perception of Predators

A recently published long-term study has been carried out in the Shark Reef Marine Reserve in Fiji which has discovered that bull sharks have stable social connections, that they show preferences towards particular companions instead of associating with anyone randomly, which supports the old view of sharks as highly individualistic creatures. The study conducted by […]

Poor smoke does not equal poor risk: All solid fuels identified to produce ultrafine particles

Poor smoke does not equal poor risk: All solid fuels identified to produce ultrafine particles

University of Galway-led research has discovered that when low smoke manufactured fuels are burnt, they emit minute ultrafine particles which may be even more detrimental to human health. The Ryan Institute at the University conducted several controlled burn experiments with peat, wood, “low-smoke” manufactured products, such as “low-smoke” coal – since 2022, banned in domestic […]

Newer ground water is linked with increased risk of Parkinson disease

Newer ground water is linked with increased risk of Parkinson disease

A new study has established that individuals whose drinking water was supplied by newer groundwater were at a greater risk of getting Parkinson disease as compared to those individuals whose drinking water was supplied by older ground water. The study does not prove that newer groundwater causes Parkinson’s; it only shows an association. Older groundwater […]

Scared of spiders? A world without them is true nightmare tale: Study

Scared of spiders? A world without them is true nightmare tale: Study

The objects of revulsion, disgust and fear are frequently members of the arachnid class–think spiders, scorpions and harvestmen (daddy long legs). However, they are essential towards the prosperity of the ecosystems. Considering the plummeting global biodiversity, and some even refer to it as the insect apocalypse, two ecologists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst chose […]

Whar are “blue tears”? New AI algorithm allows scientific monitoring of this unique phenomenon

Whar are “blue tears”? New AI algorithm allows scientific monitoring of this unique phenomenon

Blue tears is a stunning, natural bioluminescent phenomenon where coastal waters glow with an ethereal blue light, primarily caused by massive blooms of microscopic marine plankton, such as Noctiluca scintillans or ostracod crustaceans, disturbed by wave motion. Often seen in China, Taiwan, and the Maldives, this glowing,, sometimes toxic, “sea of stars” usually occurs in […]

What makes lithium-ion batteries fail? Microscopic metal thorns give leads to scientists

What makes lithium-ion batteries fail? Microscopic metal thorns give leads to scientists

This is the first time that scientists have observed the growth of tiny metal thorns known as dendrites grow within lithium-ion batteries thus making the batteries short-circuit. Their results published Mar. 12 in the journal Science illuminate the hitherto unrecognized mechanical aspects of the lithium dendrites during their development. Lithium dendrites have been the subject […]

How moss led to the solving a grave-robbing mystery

How moss led to the solving a grave-robbing mystery

In 2009, a cemetery, located directly outside of Chicago, revealed a scandal. The employees at the Burr Oak Cemetery in Alsip, Illinois had been accused of digging up aged graves, shifting the remains to other places within the cemetery and selling the burial plots back. One such piece of evidence was a small knot of […]

What are the conditions suitable for life on distant moons

What are the conditions suitable for life on distant moons

Liquid water is said to be a necessity to life. Amazingly, however, there could be conducive conditions of life far away in an area that is not near a sun. A group of researchers working on the Excellence Cluster ORIGINS at LMU and the Max Planck Institute of Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE) has demonstrated how moons […]

Oval orbit casts new light on black hole, neutron star mergers

Oval orbit casts new light on black hole, neutron star mergers

Scientists have uncovered the first robust evidence of a black hole and neutron star crashing together but orbiting in an oval path rather than a perfect circle just before they merged. This discovery challenges long-standing assumptions about how these cosmic pairs form and evolve. Researchers from the University of Birmingham, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, and […]

Less psychedelic, more medical magic mushrooms

Less psychedelic, more medical magic mushrooms

The psychoactive substance of magic mushrooms, psilocybin, is under scientific scrutiny as being useful in the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders such as depression, anxiety, substance use disorder and some neurodegenerative diseases. It can be limited to broader therapeutic uses, however, by the hallucinogenic effects. A study on the effects of psilocin, the active compound in […]
