A new study simulating billions of hypothetical interstellar objects finds that potential Earth-crossing bodies would most likely arrive from the solar apex and the galactic plane. The research highlights relative approach patterns rather than predicting real impacts. Scientists emphasise that known visitors like ‘Oumuamua and Borisov pose no danger, and genuine int…

NASA has confirmed that interstellar object 3I/ATLAS is a natural comet, not alien technology. The comet shows unusual carbon-dioxide and nickel vapours, offering a rare look at ancient material from another star. Its path is safe, staying about 1.8 AU from Earth during its Solar System passage.

NASA will deliver crucial hardware, thermal units, landing thrusters, and a U.S. launch vehicle to support ESA’s Rosalind Franklin rover, set for launch in 2028. The rover will drill two meters into Mars to search for ancient life using the advanced Mars Organic Molecule Analyzer instrument.

New research from RMIT University shows that spent coffee grounds can be transformed into biochar and used to replace a portion of sand in concrete, creating a stronger and more sustainable building material. Heating coffee waste at around 350°C without oxygen produces a fine biochar that boosts concrete’s 28-day strength by roughly 30% when used […]

NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has detected a faint halo of high-energy gamma rays around the Milky Way’s centre—matching predictions for dark-matter annihilation. The finding, reported by Professor Tomonori Totani, could represent the first direct glimpse of dark matter, but scientists caution that alternative explanations remain and independent confirm…

Researchers at the University of Chicago have created new materials that make OLED displays fully stretchable. Their key advance is an aluminium electrode embedded in a gallium–indium alloy, allowing it to “crackle” and self-heal under strain as liquid metal fills emerging gaps. Alongside this, a newly designed stretchy conductive polymer maintains electrical pe…

A new study has identified the primary force behind Venus’s extreme superrotating atmosphere: a once-per-day thermal tide driven by solar heating. Using data from Venus Express and Akatsuki along with circulation models, researchers show that this daily tide transports most of the momentum that accelerates cloud-top winds to speeds over 100 metres per second. The […]

A new study has linked an unexplained LHAASO detection to a pulsar-powered X-ray nebula, confirming it as a rare PeVatron capable of accelerating particles to extreme energies. The discovery is a major step toward solving the long-standing mystery of galactic cosmic rays. Researchers are now combining X-ray, gamma-ray and neutrino observations to trace these powerful […]

China’s Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory has delivered world-class results after only 59 days of data collection, achieving the most precise measurements yet of two major neutrino oscillation parameters. JUNO’s early performance surpasses all previous experiments, confirming a small but intriguing discrepancy between solar and reactor neutrino observation…

China has begun testing UBTech’s Walker humanoid robots at a border facility near Vietnam, aiming to use them for guiding travellers, managing queues and supporting logistics tasks. The robots, arriving in December, feature autonomous battery-swapping for extended operation. The US$37 million contract reflects Beijing’s ambition to dominate global robotics and AI….
