Shock waves occur in air when a plane travels faster than the speed of sound and also occur in plasma (a fourth state of matter that makes up 99% of the visible universe) in space. Shock waves are believed to accelerate particles in supernovae (the explosions…

Scientists have uncovered new clues about a curious fossil site in Nevada, a graveyard for dozens of giant marine reptiles.

Astronomers discovered unseen, young stars after taking a deep dive into one of the first images captured by the James Webb Space Telescope. The stars are located in the Cosmic Cliffs of Carina Nebula

The new findings indicate that the ejecta contributed to moving the asteroid...

In new research published in Nature Communications, University of Sussex scientists demonstrate how a highly conductive paint coating that they have developed mimics the network spread of a virus through a process called 'explosive percolation'—a mathematical…

A new study shows how gravitational wave observatories could be used to search for technosignatures throughout the galaxy

Diving birds like penguins, puffins and cormorants may be more prone to extinction than non-diving birds, according to a new study by the Milner Centre for Evolution at the University of Bath. The authors suggest this is because they are highly specialized an…

Project includes developing a robust SPR assay to measure the binding affinity of small molecules to human target proteins.

Wind power can be an oft-neglected source of energy for future human exploration missions on Mars, especially coupled with solar power. Modelling shows that solar and wind energy can fully power such missions for more than half of the Martian year for ten reg…

Infrared observations of Jupiter obtained in a 40-yr timespan between 1978 and 2019 show long-term variations of Jupiter’s tropospheric temperature with different periodicities, particularly at tropical latitudes, which often bear some connection with stratos…

Nine students of Jammu and Kashmir, for the first time, participated in a global asteroid search campaign as part of NASA’s citizen science project. Officials said nine students of a private school in Kathua district participated in the campaign. “The campaig…

Jammu, Dec 19 (IANS): Nine students of Jammu and Kashmir, for the first time, participated in a global asteroid search campaign as part of NASA's citizen science project. Officials said nine students of a private school in Kathua district participated in the…

By Zarwareen Khan, December 19 2022— Despite how Artemis I has been delayed a number of times this past year, the spacecraft, Orion, is finally on its way to the moon. Artemis I is the first step in NASA’s Artemis programme and involves a test flight which wi…

Astronomers say they have solved an outstanding problem that challenged our understanding of how the Universe evolved - the spatial distribution of faint satellite galaxies orbiting the Milky Way.

A research group from the Institute of Space-Earth Environmental Research (ISEE) at Nagoya University in Japan has used a sensor that has manufactured by Aichi Steel Corporation to construct a magneto-impedance sensor magnetometer (MIM) that helps quantifies …

Results from a new international study published today (19 December 2022) in Nature Astronomy reveal that asteroids are life givers

Astronomers say they have solved an outstanding problem that challenged our understanding of how the universe evolved—the spatial distribution of faint satellite galaxies orbiting the Milky Way.

PARIS: For the first time astronomers have identified a planet that is spiralling towards a cataclysmic collision with its ageing sun, potentially offering a glimpse into how Earth could end one day. In a new study published on Monday (Dec 19), a team of most…

A new approach to match the physics of a few of the brightest stars in the sky has been discovered by the astronomers

Researchers found two planets with Earth-like masses orbiting the star GJ 1002, a red dwarf that is less than 16 light years from the Solar System.

Though oddly beautiful in its own way, it’s a sight no astronaut wants to see: their spacecraft, the only way they have to return to Earth, ejecting countless iridescent droplets of something…

Images from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope contain telltale signs of two dozen previously unseen young stars about 7,500 light years away.

For decades, physicists have been hunting for a quantum-gravity model that would unify quantum physics, the laws that govern the very small, and gravity. One major obstacle has been the difficulty in testing the predictions of candidate models experimentally.…

Gamma-ray bursts are the most luminous explosions in the universe, allowing astrologists to observe intense gamma rays in short durations. Gamma-ray bursts are classified as either short or long, with long gamma-ray bursts being the result of massive stars dy…
