A newly discovered solar phenomenon could help scientists predict the Sun’s next powerful outburst and solar flare New solar telescope observations reveal swirling plasma movements on the Sun's surface. This phenomenon, known as Kelvin-Helmholtz instability, occurs at magnetic region boundaries. These turbulent motions may help explain how powerful solar flares begin and store energy. Understanding these processes could improve future space weather forecasting for Earth. The Daniel… The Economic Times · Sep 11

Researchers crushed mussel, cockle and oyster shells collected from a Dublin beach and added them to polluted water; the experiment cleaned the water while recovering valuable metals A team of researchers discovered that discarded seashells have the ability to purify water by removing rare earth metals. Among various shell types, oyster shells stood out for their unique porous structure that effectively transforms dissolved metals into solid minerals. Given the aquaculture industry’s yearly production of millions of tonnes… The Economic Times · Sep 11
In 2022, China grew rice from seed to seed on Tiangong for 120 days; six seeds produced 59, and their descendants reached a third generation on Earth Chinese astronauts have made remarkable strides in agricultural innovation by growing rice aboard the Tiangong space station. The experiment led to a successful seed-to-seed growth cycle, and subsequent generations thrived back on Earth, yielding rice with enhanced sweetness and nutritional value. This success opens exciting possibilities for future food cultivation… The Economic Times · Sep 11

How did an ‘impossible’ photon survive 2 billion light-years? Scientists point to a transformation involving axion-like particles An extremely energetic photon from GRB 221009A has puzzled physicists. This photon traveled over two billion light-years to reach Earth detectors. Standard physics predicts such high-energy photons should not survive this vast cosmic journey. Researchers are exploring axion-like particles and Lorentz invariance violation as explanations. These new theories offer a… The Economic Times · Sep 10
The Economic Times · Sep 10 In 1985, Soviet engineers sent two balloons floating through Venus for 46.5 hours. Their motherships then used the planet’s gravity to chase Halley’s Comet Soviet spacecraft Vega 1 and Vega 2 undertook a dual mission to Venus and Halley's Comet. These probes deployed landers and balloons onto Venus before flying past the comet. Vega 1 and Vega 2 successfully transmitted data from Venus's atmosphere and surface. The spacecraft then gathered crucial information about Halley's…
The Economic Times · Sep 10 In 2025, scientists found 'strongest hints yet' of life on Mars and K2-18b—but, a survey of hundreds of astrobiologists say we still haven’t found aliens Recent scientific findings on K2-18b and Mars sparked alien life speculation. A survey revealed few astrobiologists believed these discoveries confirmed extraterrestrial life. Researchers found the K2-18b exoplanet evidence less convincing than Martian rock features. Many scientists remained neutral, awaiting further analysis and ruling out non-biological explanations. These intriguing clues offer…
