US researchers have achieved a groundbreaking milestone by successfully creating early-stage human embryos from adult skin cells. By using advanced DNA manipulation and fertilization techniques, scientists were able to generate embryos without relying on traditional egg cells. This pioneering research opens up new possibilities in reproductive medicine, potentially transforming fertility treatments. It could offer hope…

Amazon founder and executive chair Jeff Bezos has predicted that the next generation of data centres could be built in space within the next 10 to 20 years. Speaking at the Italian Tech Week in Turin, Bezos explained that orbiting data centres would benefit from uninterrupted solar power, allowing them to outperform Earth-based facilities in…

Far beyond Earth, Saturn’s small moon Enceladus has turned into one of the most intriguing worlds in our solar system. Though only about the size of Arizona, Enceladus is coated in a thick layer of bright white ice. Beneath this frozen shell lies something extraordinary, a vast ocean of liquid water stretching across the entire…

NASA has temporarily scaled back most of its operations due to a deadlock in US government funding. When Congress fails to pass a budget or short-term funding measures, the agency is forced to limit work to activities vital for safety and security. As a result, many ongoing projects, from research and public outreach to preparation…

Have you ever noticed how blue in nature feels rare and almost magical? You can see the endless sky and deep oceans painted in blue, yet when you look at plants, animals, or rocks, the colour is surprisingly scarce. Compared to reds, greens, and yellows, blue is one of the hardest shades for life to…

In a rare astronomical event, comet 3I/ATLAS, an interstellar visitor, is passing through our solar system in 2025. Traveling at an astonishing speed of 130,000 mph (219,000 km/h), this comet originates from beyond our Sun, making it only the third confirmed interstellar object to enter the solar system. Its nucleus, less than 1 kilometer wide,…

Plunging to approximately 11,500 feet (over 3,500 metres), this canyon is nearly twice as deep…

NASA is approaching a historic milestone with the Artemis II mission, set to launch the first humans around the Moon in over 50 years, with a target date of April 2026. Engineers at Kennedy Space Center in Florida have successfully integrated the Artemis II Orion stage adapter with the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket inside…

Space often appears calm and serene when we look up at the night sky, yet it is a bustling environment filled with countless moving objects, from tiny meteoroids to massive asteroids. One such object drawing attention is asteroid 2025 TC, a house-sized space rock measuring roughly 44 feet across. Set to pass near Earth on…
