As per a recent study conducted by researchers at Brown University, robots are being trained to locate items in messy spaces by imitating dogs. When we want to find an object, we simply point to where it is. When a robot is given a point to go to, it is able to complete the task…

Imagine a satellite moving around the Earth for an entire decade without any sound, sending precise location details to millions of people on the Earth’s surface. IRNSS-1F, one of India’s navigation satellites, completed its 10-year design mission life on March 10, 2026, marking a key milestone for the country’s regional navigation system. The Indian Space…

A company wants to brighten the night sky by reflecting sunlight onto Earth using mirrors placed in orbit. Not a one-off stunt, but a full system designed to extend daylight after sunset. The aim is simple enough: make solar energy work even when the Sun goes down. The start-up Reflect Orbital is now waiting on…

Looking out to the future, we see a gradual but also very important shift occurring right under our feet; the Earth’s own rhythm has begun to alter and slow down. New studies by researchers from both ETH Zurich and the University of Vienna have demonstrated that climate change caused by humans is making our planet’s…

Rivers are thought of as a fertile environment with a variety of fish, flora, and fauna, as well as freshwater that is available for supporting life. However, there are rivers across the world that have a different story to tell. One of the rivers is the Jordan River, which is referred to as a river…

As we explore more of the universe, the physical impacts of living in microgravity continue to be one of the primary obstacles to long-term space travel. Research on Assessment of Jugular Venous Blood Flow Stasis and Thrombosis During Spaceflight suggests that astronauts may face a potential “silent” risk of developing Venous Thromboembolism during long-duration space…

A newly identified dinosaur fossil from Brazil is offering fresh clues about how ancient animals once moved across continents that are today separated by vast oceans. The remains belong to a previously unknown species of giant long-necked dinosaur that lived around 120 million years ago during the Early Cretaceous period. What makes the discovery particularly…

NASA seems to be gearing up for one of its boldest missions yet. This isn’t just about planting a flag and snapping photos. The agency is reportedly aiming for a permanent human base on the Moon. A real, functioning settlement where astronauts could live for extended periods. The south pole of the Moon has caught…

The discovery that an ordinary potato can become an effective energy source after a little tweaking was made by researchers at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, who conducted a study published in Smithsonian Magazine. After boiling a potato for eight minutes, they were able to cause cell membrane ruptures within the potato’s internal structure, which…

NASA has confirmed and scheduled two upcoming spacewalks (EVAs 94 and 95) for ongoing maintenance and power upgrades to the International Space Station (ISS). A press release issued recently by NASA acknowledged that these missions represent a critical step towards improving the ISS capability as it nears the end of its operational life. Astronauts engaged…
