BEIJING — Microplastics — tiny plastic fragments less than 5 millimetres in size — have become a growing concern worldwide as they infiltrate food, air, and water, eventually making their way into the human body. Recent research has now uncovered a surprisingly effective way to remove them from drinking water. In 2024, a team of […]

Bhubaneswar’s Kalinga Stadium was buzzing with energy as Animesh Kujur, India’s fastest man, trained alongside his coach Martin Owens just days after the Continental Tour concluded. The session wasn’t just about physical drills — it was a moment of reflection on a long, taxing season. Animesh’s journey over the past year had been intense: a

Hidden 300 feet beneath the North Sea lies a geological puzzle that has baffled scientists for years — massive sand mounds where older layers sit atop younger ones, defying the natural order of ocean sediments. Now, researchers believe they’ve cracked the code behind this upside-down world. The North Sea, known for oil drilling and vast

Nearly three months after the Liberian-flagged container ship MSC Elsa 3 capsized and sank 13 miles off Kerala’s coast on 25 May, a silent environmental crisis continues to unfold. While initial efforts focused on containing an oil slick from the 184-metre vessel, another, far more persistent pollutant is still wreaking havoc — nurdles. The ship

NASA astronaut Don Pettit has shared a breathtaking photograph of the Ganga River Delta, offering a rare perspective of one of the planet’s most remarkable geographical features. Taken from aboard the International Space Station (ISS), the high-contrast image vividly captures the delta’s vast expanse of fertile land, stretching across parts of eastern India and Bangladesh.

At just 17 years old, homeschooled Bahamian student Hannah Cairo has achieved what many seasoned mathematicians could not — disproving a long-standing theory in advanced mathematics. Cairo has produced a counterexample to the Mizohata–Takeuchi conjecture, a problem in harmonic analysis that has puzzled researchers for four decades. The conjecture dealt with the complex behavior of

Imagine boarding a ship knowing you will never see its final destination — nor will your children, grandchildren, or even great-great-grandchildren. That’s the reality envisioned by the Chrysalis Project, an ambitious concept for humanity’s first true multi-generational voyage to the stars. Designed to carry up to 1,500 people, Chrysalis is not just a spacecraft —

Many pet owners have noticed their cats or dogs occasionally munching on grass — a curious habit, especially in cats, which are known to prefer meat and fish. So why do our furry companions snack on greenery? According to Dr. Jamie Lovejoy, a veterinarian at Stack Veterinary Hospital in Syracuse, New York, there are several

In a remarkable geological breakthrough, scientists have uncovered colossal 117-million-year-old formations beneath the Atlantic Ocean, offering fresh insight into the planet’s tectonic past. The discovery, led by geoscientists Dr. Uisdean Nicholson and Dr. Débora Duarte, reveals that the Atlantic’s opening began earlier than previously believed, reshaping scientific understanding of Earth’s geological history.
