In a new survey, which was done using ground penetrating radar and satellite imagery, scientists spotted signs of volcanic activity, which may have taken place far more recently than was expected by anyone.

NASA's ambitious mission to uncover the mysteries of the solar system has encountered an unforeseen obstacle. Two months after securing a crucial sample from the asteroid Bennu, the space agency faces a perplexing challenge—it is unable to open the canister housing the precious extraterrestrial material.

A research team, headed by bioengineering pioneer César de la Fuente, has been making use of artificial intelligence-based computational methods to get mine genetic information from humans who have become extinct now like Neanderthals and long-gone ice age creatures such as giant sloths and woolly mammoths.

Scientists have warned that the Arctic has hidden beneath its frozen ground a methane monster that is threatening to show its ugly head. Scientists are still unaware of how big the threat is and who will suffer the most, however, what remains clear is that the permanently frozen soil – which is called permafrost – has been melting amid increasing temperatures and further threatening to release massive amounts of methane, which is an extremely potent fossil fuel, from its icy prison.

The scientists, in their latest discovery, found that when there is a collision between pieces of space debris, electric signals are released by them which help in tracking small debris that is littering the orbit of our planet and can prove beneficial in saving both spacecraft and satellites.

Scientists find a 'unique' way to keep spacecraft safer than they ever were

Scientists have pinpointed the location of the place where an asteroid hit Earth approximately 750,000 years ago. In a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the planetary scientists released evidence showing that the location of impact crater they have been seeking for decades is on the Bolaven Plateau in southern Laos.

This is the exact spot an asteroid made a crater 750,000 years ago

In what appears to be a new challenge for astronomers, a gigantic dark hole has been created on the surface of the sun and is releasing powerful streams of fast radiation, also called solar wind, right towards the Earth.

Scientists have time and again emphasised how the sun will become boiling hot in around a billion years and all the oceans present on Earth will be dried and eventually, the existence of life will come to an end.

In a major breakthrough, scientists used human cells and created tiny living robots which are able to move around in a lab dish and are likely to heal damaged tissue and wounds someday, as per a new study.

In a first, astronomers have found the swirling disk of material which is feeding a young star and is present in a galaxy, which is outside the Milky Way. The disk was found near-identical to those discovered near infant stars in the Milky Way and this helped scientists understand that the stars and planets are formed in other galaxies just like the ones in our galaxy.

Scientists in the United States have created tiny biological robots from Human tracheal cells. These robots are known as Anthrobots and these microscopic multicellular Bots have displayed a remarkable healing effect on other cells.

In new research, scientists have found a way to reverse the premature ageing of the brain accelerated by COVID-19 infection, by killing 'zombie' cells. A team of researchers from the University of Queensland in Australia used lab-grown mini-brains, made with the help of human stem cells, to investigate how variants of SARS-CoV-2 affect brain tissues.

Scientists say killing 'zombie' cells can reverse brain ageing caused by Covid

In a new study, the scientists have unravelled the reason behind skin conditions like eczema causing itching in people. One reason which is known to cause itching is inflammation which tends to get worse if people continue to scratch and their skin is damaged.

An Earth-sized world was found just 22 light-years away, orbiting around a small red dwarf star. Discovered by scientists in the US, this Earth-sized world is the closest to our Solar System.

Scientists have warned that the ice sheets in the world have been melting at a faster pace than estimated, and the climate ambitions of the world need to be reconstructed to avoid any catastrophic increase in sea levels.

At global average temperature of 2 degrees, Earth likely to see disastrous 40 feet of sea level rise

In a first, scientists have detected a soft green glow in the night sky of Mars that can be seen with our human eyes. The European Space Agency's (ESA) ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter mission while orbiting around Mars spotted the Martian night sky filled with light in the optical spectrum.

In a major breakthrough, scientists have recreated a chemical reaction which may have led to the creation of complex, self-replicating structures which eventually developed into living things on Earth.

In a quest to unravel the mysteries of the origin of life, a team of researchers have come up with a model which suggests how life came into existence on Earth. As per scientists, there are two theories regarding how life came on Earth - one suggests that the ingredients for life came from a primordial soup on the planet and the other states that the molecules required for life, were brought from elsewhere, and were "seeded" on the Earth by the cosmos.

The scientists, in a spectacular discovery, have spotted the presence of aurora-like emission in the atmosphere of the Sun. A team of astronomers, headed by Sijie Yu of the New Jersey Institute of Technology, recorded a never-before-seen kind of long-lasting radio emission at an altitude of some 40,000 kilometres (25,000 miles) above the sunspot.

Back in 1879, scientist William Beal buried bottles with seeds in them to understand how long seeds can last. Recently, researchers from Michigan State University (MSU) dug up one of these bottles and found that some seeds were still growing.

A major breakthrough was made by scientists in NASA, with the help of the James Webb Space Telescope, as they found out how planets came into existence. The telescope observed the water vapour in protoplanetary disks, after which it confirmed a physical process which included the drifting of ice-coated solids from the disk's outer regions into the rocky planet zone.
