- JWST Spots Isolated Supermassive Black Hole-Powered Quasars in the Early Universe 23 Ottobre 2024A team using the James Webb Space Telescope has discovered supermassive black hole-powered quasars in unexpectedly isolated environments. These lonely quasars, some of the earliest in the universe, present a mystery as they lack the dense surroundings that current theories suggest are needed for black hole growth. This discovery is pushing scientists to reconsider how...
- 6,000-Year-Old Wheel Origin Discovered in Carpathian Mountains; Study Suggests Copper Miners Created World's 1st Wheel 23 Ottobre 2024A recent study proposes that copper miners in the Carpathian Mountains may have developed the wheel 6,000 years ago. Using advanced modelling techniques, researchers explored how miners likely invented crucial wheel innovations to transport heavy loads in narrow mine shafts, suggesting a possible origin of one of history’s most transformative inventions.
- Neptunian Ridge Discovery: Scientists Map New Planet Zone in Space 23 Ottobre 2024A groundbreaking study by University of Warwick scientists has revealed a new region in space called the Neptunian Ridge. This discovery shows how planets move between harsh desert zones where atmospheres are stripped away and safer savannah regions where they can survive. The research provides crucial insights into planetary migration and evolution, helping us unders...
- Supergiant Star Betelgeuse Might Have a Hidden Companion Star, New Study Claims 23 Ottobre 2024Recent research suggests that Betelgeuse, the prominent red supergiant in the Orion constellation, might have a hidden companion star, nicknamed “Betelbuddy.” Led by Jared Goldberg at the Flatiron Institute, the study proposes that this unseen star could be influencing Betelgeuse's unusual brightness fluctuations. Using computer simulations, the team eliminated ot...
- Here's How Tibetan Women's Adapts to Thin Air in Extreme High Altitudes 23 Ottobre 2024Tibetan women living on the Tibetan Plateau have developed extraordinary adaptations to thrive in extreme high altitudes. New research from Case Western Reserve University highlights unique physiological traits, including blood and heart characteristics that optimise oxygen delivery. These adaptations are linked to the EPAS1 gene, passed down from ancient Denisovans, ...
- NASA Study Suggests Microbial Life May Thrive Beneath Martian Ice 23 Ottobre 2024NASA's study explores how Martian ice could harbour life by creating meltwater pockets beneath the surface that allow photosynthesis. Dust within the ice might absorb sunlight, warming it enough to create these pockets. The findings highlight the possibility of microbial life in Mars’ tropical regions, where sunlight may penetrate deep into the ice, creating favoura...
- NISAR Mission 2025: NASA and ISRO Join Forces to Monitor Earth's Ecosystems and Surface Changes 23 Ottobre 2024The NISAR Mission 2025, a joint effort between NASA and ISRO, aims to observe Earth's surface, ecosystems, and track environmental changes. The satellite will use cutting-edge radar technology to collect data on biomass, natural disasters, and sea-level rise. Scheduled to launch in 2025, NISAR will be a vital tool for global climate and ecosystem monitoring. […]
- Colossal Meteorite Impact 3 Billion Years Ago May Have Boosted Early Life on Earth 23 Ottobre 2024Around 3.26 billion years ago, a giant meteorite, 200 times larger than the one that killed the dinosaurs, struck Earth. This impact stirred up nutrients from the ocean floor, like phosphorus and iron, that may have given early microbes a much-needed boost. While the event was likely catastrophic for some life forms, it also created […]
- Could Sprinkling Diamond Dust in the Atmosphere Help Reverse Global Warming? 23 Ottobre 2024Researchers have explored a potential solution for reversing global warming: dispersing diamond dust in the atmosphere to reflect sunlight and reduce heat reaching Earth. Though diamond dust emerged as a promising option due to its reflectivity and inert nature, the cost of implementing this solution globally would be incredibly high – approximately $200 trillion ov...
- Samsung Galaxy S25 Series to Debut With Snapdragon 8 Elite on All Models, Tipster Claims 23 Ottobre 2024Samsung Galaxy S25 series is expected to launch early next year as a successor to the Galaxy S24 lineup. Leaked details about the purported handsets have started doing rounds of the rumour mill. The Galaxy S25 handsets have been tipped to be slimmer than the current models. A tipster has now suggested some expected details […]
