Scientists discover lizards reinvented their armour multiple times (AI -gemerated) Biologists have long treated the bony plates found in some lizards as an ancient inheritance, passed down and occasionally lost. New research now suggests a different pattern. A study led by the Museums Victoria Research Institute argues that most of these plates, known as osteoderms, […]

Europe has a new ‘space phone line’ and it can hear missions across the solar system (AI-generated) The European Space Agency has quietly added a major piece to its global space communications network with the inauguration of a new deep space antenna in Western Australia. The structure doesn’t change the missions’ appearance or destination, but […]

Baby dinosaur fossils found in Arctic permafrost reveal how dinosaurs survived polar winters (Image source: AI- Generated) In a startling flip-flop on our perspectives on ancient civilisations, scientists have discovered baby dinosaur fossils buried in Arctic permafrost, thereby validating that dinosaurs did nest in the polar regions. These fossils of dinosaurs that are merely 2 […]

What happened to NASA’s ‘Moon Trees’ after they orbited the Moon on Apollo 14 (Image source: Wikipedia) What NASA accomplished in the early 1970s is a little-known but truly impressive feat. Instead of putting rockets or robots in space, they put seeds there. Seeds of different trees accompanied astronauts on the Apollo 14 mission in […]

NASA will send your name around the Moon (Image source: Canva) NASA has made a public invitation for its upcoming Artemis II mission, and it’s easy to understand. People from all over the world can send in their names to be on board the Orion spacecraft as it goes around the Moon. NASA says that […]

In one of the most rugged and least studied areas in the world, researchers have found a massive black coral off the south coast of New Zealand that has been thriving for a staggering 300 years. Reaching heights of over four metres with sprawling roots, this biological phenomenon gives researchers a glimpse into the largely […]

One of the most recognisable and feared predators within our oceans is, of course, the shark, and this is because of its greatly powerful and continually regrowing teeth. But aside from serving as a feeding mechanism, shark teeth play a very important part in how sharks can effectively hunt and keep themselves at the top […]

Source: The New York Times NASA has shown off fresh details of its long-awaited Artemis II mission, marking a major step in the return of humans to deep space. For the first time in more than five decades, astronauts are preparing to fly around the Moon, testing systems designed eventually to take humans back to […]

WASHINGTON: The scientists have discovered that the adolescent brain does more than prune old connections. During the teen years, it actively builds dense new clusters of synapses in specific parts of neurons. These clusters emerge only in adolescence and may help shape higher-level thinking. When the process is disrupted, it could play a role in […]

Scientists who work on long-term climate patterns usually stay close to Earth. The data is here, the records are clearer, and the risks are immediate. A new study shifts that focus slightly outward. Research published in the Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific suggests that Mars plays a role in shaping Earth’s climate […]
