A group of astronomers, including Penn State scientists, has announced the likely discovery of a highly obscured black hole existing only 850 million years after the Big Bang, using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory. This is the first evidence for a…
Rare earths refer to a group of 17 elements that are vital to the tech industry and are used in a large variety of sectors like communications, military, renewables, transportation, and so on. China is the world leader in rare…
Gravitational-wave researchers at the University of Birmingham have developed a new model that could help astronomers track down the origin of heavy black hole systems in the Universe. Black holes are formed following the collapse of stars and possibly supernova…
Dark matter, which researchers believe make up about 80 percent of the universe’s mass, is one of the most elusive mysteries in modern physics.
Airplane contrails, the white streaks one sees in the skies, have often been accused by conspiracy theorists as being a government project to manipulate the weather. Though this has been debunked by scientists, the fact that contrails affect the climate…
A team from University College Dublin have unearthed almost 40 previously unknown monuments close to Newgrange, including a “spectacular” monument that aligns with the winter solstice sunrise.
A team of researchers from Osaka University in Japan has created a technological breakthrough by sending quantum information to a quantum dot. The findings are expected to be of great assistance in the quest to build an Internet network that…
People in Ethiopia did not live in low valleys during the last ice age. Instead, they lived high up in the inhospitable Bale Mountains. There, they had enough water, built tools out of obsidian, and relied mainly on giant rodents…
Automation is gradually making an impact on every industry. The agriculture sector has been slow to embrace this new technology, but that is starting to change. How is automation revolutionizing the agriculture industry, and how can farmers start implementing it…
How do galaxies such as our Milky Way come into existence? How do they grow and change over time? The science behind galaxy formation has remained a puzzle for decades, but a University of Arizona-led team of scientists is one…

With climate patterns across the world changing unpredictably, experts have been saying that the consequences of such changes could be devastating for human society. A series of reports now warns…
When small, dense stars called white dwarfs explode, they produce bright, short-lived flares called Type Ia supernovae. These supernovae are informative cosmological markers for astronomers — for example, they were…
I-Space has become the first company from China to successfully launch satellites into orbit. Previously, Chinese companies like LandSpace and OneSpace tried to launch satellites, but failed.
Astronomers are planning to hunt for cores of exoplanets around white dwarf stars by “tuning in” to the radio waves that they emit. In new research led by the University…
Charcoal produced by wildfires could trap carbon for hundreds of years and help mitigate climate change, according to new research just published. The extensive and unprecedented outbreak of wildfires in…
A new study from The Australian National University (ANU) has shown the impact phosphate mining is having on our coral reefs. The study looked at coral reefs around Christmas Island,…
Astronomers have found the ghostly remains of one of the Universe’s first stars inside a rare, ancient star far, far away on the other side of our galaxy. ANU astronomer…
Victor Camp has spent a lifetime studying volcanic eruptions all over the world, starting in Saudi Arabia, then Iran, and eventually the Pacific Northwest. The geology lecturer finds mantle plumes…
Space is increasingly becoming the new battleground and China is planning to dominate it. The People’s Liberation Army recently released a whitepaper report that outlines its space war plans.
Ever wondered what the universe would look like in the palm of your hands? Grab a Night Sky Petunia and you’ll know exactly how that feels. One of the most…
