An expedition to a never-before-seen part of the Pacific Ocean threw up a stunning surprise. Scientists found a world thriving in places where sunlight could never reach. The scene did not appear to be from Earth and has left them wondering where else life could exist.

Between Japan and Alaska, a dark alien world at 31,000 feet has stunned scientists. Here's why

The journey of a potato started nine million years ago. Its roots can be traced back to a shocking ancestor. It is hard to imagine that something that is so different from the potato could have played a role in the creation of the vegetable.

Potato has a mother, and you won't believe who it is. Hint: It's a fruit

The science of geodesy plays a significant role in measuring the positions of Earth after tracking the locations of the black holes in distant galaxies. It is done for navigation, communication, and Earth observation every day.

A fungus found in King Tutankhamun’s tomb and another tomb in Poland has been flagged as carrying compounds that can help treat cancer. This fungus killed several excavators and scientists, but now it is being tested to develop a new line of treatment.

Fungus in King Tutankhamun’s tomb killed dozens. It could now cure cancer

Human poop is being frozen in Switzerland to preserve microbes that scientists say can save humanity from disaster hundreds of years later. Over 1,000 samples are already placed in the vault, while the founders are now trying to get 10,000 more.

Scientists are freezing human poop to prevent major disaster 100 years from now

Scientists have managed to extract proteins from a rhino fossil tooth discovered in the Canadian Arctic. An analysis has revealed its place in the rhino family tree. Now they are hoping to expand the technology to someday study dinosaurs. 

Oldest protein sequenced from 24-million-year-old rhino tooth found in Canadian Arctic

Clouds with holes are not a natural occurrence but are being created by aeroplanes that fly through them. The punch-hold clouds have been seen in many regions. The science behind this also leads to rainfall and snowfall.

Bizarre finding shows airplanes are triggering rain and snow. Here's how

The coast of the North Sea near Norway has mysterious structures that haven't had an explanation yet. How were they formed and triggered the rare anomaly is a secret that scientists have been trying to unravel for years. Now, they finally have an explanation.

Secret of the mysterious structures near Norway has finally been revealed

Somewhere on this planet roam three majestic dire wolves that are nothing short of a miracle, especially given that the last member of their species died out more than 12,500 years ago. The company behind this de-extinction has now set its sights on "Moa" a flightless 12ft (3.66 m) tall bird.

Scientists who 'de-extincted' dire wolf now want to bring back from dead THIS 12ft tall bird

The New World screwworms have been spreading in an outbreak that started in early 2023. It started from Latin America, winding through Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, Belize and El Salvador. 

Fly vs Fly: Millions of flies will rain down from planes on America. And no, it's not a biological weapon attack

South Korean caves are bristling with creatures that remain to be discovered. Four species of a particular dragon critter have been found in different caves. Scientists are calling for more expeditions to the over 1,000 caves in the country. 

South Korean caves are teeming with creatures with dragon-like features. They are completely blind

Scientists have managed to turn Laschamps event, or the cosmic event when Earth's magnetic poles switched places – the North Pole became the South Pole and vice versa – into a sound. We can finally hear what that moment in Earth's history might have sounded like.

THIS is what Earth sounded like when North Pole became South Pole: Scientists turn ancient chaos into eerie sound

TOI-1846 b is estimated to be around 7.2 billion years old and is located about 154 light-years away from our planet and has been discovered by a team of astronomers using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS).

Scientists use NASA's TESS to discover ‘super-earth’ that could host billions—Is TOI-1846 b humanity's next home?

The Synthetic Human Genome Project will create DNA artificially. Scientists will create parts of a molecule of DNA, and even all of it, from scratch soon. The tech can be misused in several ways and poses a ton of other problems. Why is artificial human DNA being made then?

Biological weapons? Concerns grow as scientists start working on artificial human DNA

Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla is ready to embark on his journey to the International Space Station (ISS) today aboard the Axiom-4 mission. The mission will launch from Kennedy Space Center, Florida, aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon at 12:00 PM IST (2:30 AM EDT) on June 25, 2025.
