In a new survey of the surface of Mars carried out by scientists, it was found that the volcanoes which littered the red planet are likely to resemble the rumblings which were on Earth before the formation of tectonic plates around 3 billion years ago.

Secrets of Earth’s lost past hidden in ancient volcanoes on Mars? Scientists suggest so...

In a breakthrough study, scientists have claimed that large planets like Jupiter, which were formed at a far distance from their host stars, may have once been like flattened disks and not spherical structures as they are currently.

Earth is round, but Jupiter was once most likely flat: Scientists

The hunt for extraterrestrial life on other planets has continued for years with scientists hoping to find slight evidence of the existence of life beyond the world.

Alien life existed near ancient mile-deep lake, active volcanoes on Mars? Scientists suggest so

In a new study, scientists found that several rigid tectonic plates which are under the Pacific Ocean are being pulled apart. Earth has an outer shell, which is called the lithosphere and is divided into various rigid plates.

Scientists say tectonic plate tearing apart under Pacific Ocean from Japan to New Zealand

In a new study, Australian geologists discovered the reason why Earth was enveloped in extreme ice, like a giant snowball, almost 700 million years ago. This was the era when the planet was covered with glaciers, which extended from the poles to the equator.

Mystery of why Earth was a giant snowball 700 million years ago has now been unravelled

More than 166 million years after dinosaurs lived on Earth, scientists have said that they have discovered a winged dinosaur skeleton on the Isle of Skye in Scotland.

The "cometary organic matter" was discovered by the scientists while they were studying samples from Ryugu, which is a near-Earth asteroid that was visited by Japan's Hayabusa 2 spacecraft in 2018.

Scientists say 'organic matter' in distant asteroid may be hiding 'origins of life'

Scientists believe that the Indian tectonic plate is breaking into two. Experts have studied seismic waves near Tibet and they have found evidence of a tear in the tectonic plate. Should the world start preparing for a disaster?

Indian tectonic plate breaking into two, Scientists have evidence

Scientists believe that the Indian tectonic plate could be splitting into two and it could be tearing apart Tibet. Scientists say they already have evidence of a tear. This report has the details.

In a new study, the scientists have issued a warning regarding how dangerous are the viruses which are buried under ice sheets in the Arctic permafrost and other places.

‘Zombie’ virus, after remaining frozen 48,500 years in Arctic, may cause a deadly pandemic, warn scientists

How is a black hole formed? In the simplest language, a black hole is born when a star dies. Now, astronomers have claimed that they might have just witnessed the birth of such a black hole in a major first.

Missing link between a supernova and a black hole is finally revealed

The floating "magic islands" of Titan, Saturn's largest moon, have long intrigued scientists. But a new study now seems to clear the air over these islands and what constitutes them.

'Magic islands' on Titan look like Swiss cheese. They are simply snow clusters

Fossils of 'terror beasts' have been unearthed. These worms were some of the largest swimming animals over 520 million years ago. Molly Gambhir tells you more.

After remaining a mystery for years, scientists have finally discovered how diamonds emerge from the surface of the Earth. Diamonds get created in the upper mantle of the Earth's crust and if they do not shoot to the surface, which is called kimberlite eruptions, humans won't be able to find them.

Scientists have figured out what makes diamonds shoot up from Earth's crust to the surface

In a new revelation, the researchers have found that the true colours of Neptune and Uranus are very similar and not starkly different as was believed earlier. NASA’s Voyager 2 mission, which had carried out flybys of Uranus in 1986 and Neptune in 1989, was able to capture the first detailed images of the two ice giants in our solar system.

Neptune and Uranus show true colours: Planetary neighbours aren't all that different

Researchers have finally figured out the reason behind urine's yellow colour, answering an age-old question that has stumped scientists for years. In the study published in the journal Nature Microbiology, Brantley Hall, an assistant professor in the University of Maryland's Department of Cell Biology and Molecular Genetics, and his team explain the chain of events that cause urine to be yellow and why it took so long to figure out.

What makes urine yellow? Researchers have finally figured it out

On the first day of the New Year 2024, the Indian Space Agency will be sending its 260-ton PSLV rocket into to the skies. Designated PSLV-C58/XPoSat, the PSLV rocket is scheduled to lift off from the first launchpad of Satish Dhawan Space Centre(SDSC-SHAR) at 9:10 am, Monday, January 1.

Researchers in the United States have issued a warning against the spread of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), which is present among wildlife, in humans, reported the Independent.

Humans may get infected by ‘Zombie Deer Disease’, warn scientists amid case surge in US

For years scientists have been trying to decode the biblical phenomena of parting or crossing of the Red Sea by Moses, which saw Israelis escaping from the despotic rule of Egyptian Pharoh.

Study claims parting of Red Sea by Moses not a miracle, but ‘meteorological phenomenon’

In a study, Chinese scientists have uncovered the initial genetic evidence of a multiracial population in ancient China by examining DNA from remains discovered at a pivotal junction along the Silk Road.
