It was long thought, up until recently, that asteroids and comets delivered Earth’s oceans during the early Solar System. Matching this time, there was a period known as Late Heavy Bombardment from around 4.1 to 3.8 billion years ago, when collisions with planets and other objects in space were infinitely more common. The theory was…
Laurent Simons is one of the most talked-about young minds in science today. At just 15, the Belgian prodigy defended a PhD in quantum physics at the University of Antwerp, reaching a level of academic achievement that few people ever touch. What followed made his story even more striking. Simons has now begun moving into…
China is teaching its drones to fight like animals. Engineers at Beihang University, a military-linked school, created a system in which defensive drones mimic hawks by targeting the most vulnerable enemy drones, while attacking drones behave like doves to evade the hawks. In a five-on-five simulation, the hawks destroyed all the doves in just 5.3…
Richard Feynman | Source: Caltech Digital Collections There is a quiet kind of stress that builds when you keep living for approval. It shows up in small ways. You second-guess decisions. You feel guilty for resting. You keep chasing goals that do not even feel like yours.Today’s quote of the day, “You have no responsibility…
We have all been taught in school that planets revolve in the same direction as the Earth, i.e., in the counterclockwise direction. However, the universe never ceases to amaze us with its unexpected phenomena. Two planets in our solar system revolve in the opposite direction, i.e., in the clockwise direction, and they are Venus and…
What’s Really Under Antarctica? A New Map Reveals Something Nobody Expected For most of us, Antarctica is a frozen white desert that is mysterious, remote and almost unfathomably cold. However, a groundbreaking new scientific map, published in Sciencein January 2026, is now revealing that beneath all that ice lies a dramatic, rugged landscape of mountains,…
On 19 January 2026, Europe was treated to a stunning aurora spectacle like a true rarity, with large parts of Europe illuminated with varying shades of red and green in a natural setting on that chilly winter night. Generally, auroras appear in locations around the poles, but on this day, it was so vivid that…
NASA’s next crewed mission to the Moon will carry more than astronauts and instruments. When Artemis II lifts off, the Orion spacecraft will also transport a small collection of historic objects that trace the long arc of human flight. These items come from aviation’s earliest experiments and from defining moments of the space age. Their…
Could humans one day hibernate like bears? Scientists are now taking it seriously (AI-generated) For a long time, the idea of human hibernation sat firmly in the realm of fiction. That position is beginning to shift. Scientists studying sleep, metabolism and brain protection are now asking whether humans could enter a controlled state similar to…
