There have been several space missions to study how Moon, Marth, Sun and our galaxy were formed, but seldom there are any that have unravelled the mysteries on the origin of the giant planet.

Scientists claim Jupiter became big after eating small planets

A tiny robot-fish has been designed by scientists to remove microplastics from oceans. This 13-mm-long fish will swim around and adsorb the microplastics through its body.

NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has spotted a buzzing multiplanet system within our galactic neighbourhood about 33 light-years from Earth, making it one of the closest known multiplanet systems to our own.

Scientists find multiplanet system that hosts two Earth-type planets just 33 light years away

Research suggests that about one in 500 men could be carrying an extra sex chromosome as previously thought, putting them at greater risk of diseases such as type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis and thrombosis.

Scientists claimed to have discovered the exact reason how dogs became man’s best friend—the answer lies in the genes. It has historically been argued that the domestication of dogs was an evolutionary process that started with the wolves about 33,000 years ago somewhere in Southeast Asia.

Scientists finally decode how dogs became man’s best friend

Scientists have discovered a hidden marine thriving 500 metres below the Antarctic ice shelf. The scientists from New Zealand found small shrimp-like creatures and discovered a river along the bottom of a cavernous space under the ice.

Scientists have revived light-sensing neurons in eyeballs acquired from post-mortem organ donors and restored their ability to interact in a succession of findings that could alter brain and vision research.

Are human eyes immortal? Scientists revive light-sensing cells in organ donor eyes

For several years, scientists have been left baffled by a strange phenomenon occurring on Google Maps. A small strip of island located between Australia and New Caledonia in the South Pacific has been an enigma, as it keeps appearing and disappearing.

Mysterious ‘phantom island’ keeps appearing and disappearing on Google Maps, scientists stumped

A moving magnetic slime has been created by scientists. It is capable of self-healing, encircling smaller objects and “very large deformation” to be able to squeeze itself and travel through narrow spaces.

Have you ever wondered why humans live a far longer life than the animals around us? Surely, you must’ve thought about it at one time or another. Why is it that for our animal companions, our dogs or cats, a 20-year lifespan is quite long, but for us, a 50-60 years life is at times considered short?

Why do humans have a longer life span than our furry companions? Scientists have the answer

An ancient super earthquake with a magnitude of 9.5 struck the Chilean coast around 3,800 years ago, triggering 9,000 kilometres wide tsunami that was felt all the way across New Zealand, a new study has discovered.

Super quake struck Earth 3,800 yrs ago, triggered 9,000km wide tsunami, say scientists

In another glaring discovery, microplastics have been detected in human lungs by scientists. This has happened for the first time. Earlier, microplastics were found in human blood in another research.

After blood, presence of microplastics detected in human lungs

Climate Change continues to wreak havoc and if things don’t change, it could get worse. Scientists have warned that New Zealand’s glaciers are getting small and skeletal due to climate change.

Scientists warn that many of New Zealand’s glaciers might vanish within a decade

In order to detect the environment around them, spiders rely heavily on touch. Their bodies and legs are coated in microscopic hairs and slits that allow them to differentiate between different vibrations.
