NASA has been working behind the scenes for years to develop compact nuclear power systems designed to support lunar bases, resource extraction, and extended human stays on the Moon.
Life might thrive even in freezing, starless worlds, thanks to cosmic rays.
New ‘Radiolytic Habitable Zone’ redefines where alien life can exist.
Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus could be a surprising contender for extraterrestrial life.
ISRO successfully launched NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar), a sophisticated Earth observation satellite developed in collaboration with the American space agency NASA, from Sriharikota.
The breakthrough comes from the Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology, where scientists have engineered an in vitro biotransformation (ivBT) platform. This system uses enzymes to convert methanol, derived from industrial waste or captured CO₂, into sucrose, offering a sustainable alternative to conventional farming methods.
Mars once had river systems over 9,300 miles long, rivaling Earth's biggest rivers.
New ridge discoveries suggest long-term rainfall and stable surface water, not just ice melt.
The Red Planet’s ancient climate may have been warm, wet, and possibly life-friendly.
From ancient moons to melting glaciers, a strange cosmic ballet is quietly trimming our time.
Scientists have observed that Earth is spinning faster, leading to shorter days like those expected on July 9, July 22, and August 5. To maintain accurate global time, experts may introduce a negative leap second in 2029—marking the first time ever such a correction would be needed.
Indian astronomers have found coronal loops in the Sun’s outer layer. They are arc-like, beautiful structures of hot plasma that glow at a temperature over a million degrees. Their miniature counterparts are about 3,000-4,000 kilometres long (roughly the distance from Kashmir to Kanyakumari).
Shubhanshu Shukla is on a 14-day scientific expedition on the ISS as part of the Axiom-4 mission, along with three other astronauts from the US, Poland, and Hungary.
The answer lies in decades of science, engineering and a web of satellites and antennas.
Shocking data shows 60% of early galaxies spinning the same way, coincidence or cosmic code?
Could our entire universe be trapped inside a massive black hole, distorting space and time itself?
This James Webb discovery could rewrite the Big Bang theory, and your place in the universe.
A team from the Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeosciences (BSIP), an autonomous institute under the Department of Science and Technology (DST), collected these fossil leaves. They meticulously analyzed their physical characteristics and identified them through comparisons with existing plant collections and cluster analysis, said the ministry.
Fish are the most exploited animals by number, and yet their pain is rarely part of the conversation
Study reveals fish can experience between 10 to 24 minutes of intense pain during slaughter
Fish feel pain and fear, and ignoring their suffering means turning a blind eye to a systemic moral issue
The Axiom-4 mission crew includes members from India, Poland, and Hungary, marking each nation's first mission to the space station in history and the second government-sponsored human spaceflight mission in over 40 years, according to Axiom Space.
An international team of astronomers predicts a massive leap in solar system discoveries, thanks to the upcoming Vera C. Rubin Observatory and its powerful survey capabilities.
Researchers at CSIRO, Australia's national science agency, peering into the whale's genetic code, now believe bowheads could potentially live for an incredible 268 years.
This mission is a proud moment for India and marks another step forward in the country's growing role in human spaceflight.
A new study suggests that fungi might have their own form of language.
The Ax-4 mission is a 14-day trip docked at the ISS, where Shukla and his crew will carry out exciting experiments, connect with people worldwide, and test new technologies in the weightless environment of space.
Fossilized remains of around 72-million-year-old dinosaur embryo, which is nicknamed Baby Yingliang, gives a glimpse into the origins of bird-like behaviors.
