How the Green River managed to cut straight through the already existing Uinta Mountains; scientists are surprised to know | World News

How the Green River managed to cut straight through the already existing Uinta Mountains; scientists are surprised to know (Image Source – Wikipedia) The long-standing question of how the Green River cut through the Uinta Mountains has taken a step closer to resolution. New geological analysis suggests the answer lies not in the river alone, […]

Scientists believe early Earth was not green, it may have been purple: Know how scientists believe it’s possible |

Source: NASA Astrobiology Beginning two billion years of Earth’s history, the amount of oxygen was not sufficient, but rich in carbon dioxide and methane. The early forms have been able to generate metabolic energy from sunlight using the ‘purple’ pigment, predating the evolution of chlorophyll and photosynthesis. The pigment called retinal, if evolved, could absorb […]

Vikings reached America 1,000 years before Christopher Columbus; scientists confirm | World News

Scientific researchers, analysing historical reports from tree fossils at an archaeological site in Canada’s Newfoundland, have revealed that the Vikings arrived in the New World in a specific year: […]

First global repository of ice cores: How Antarctica scientists are preserving ice samples from melting glaciers; why is it important? |

Scientists in Antarctica have inaugurated the world’s first global repository of mountain ice cores, aiming to preserve vital records of Earth’s atmospheric history as glaciers rapidly melt due to global warming.The frozen sanctuary was opened on Wednesday at the Concordia research station on the Antarctic Plateau by the Ice Memory Foundation, a consortium of European […]

Scientists Discover Natural Protein with Semiconductor Properties

New Delhi: Scientists at the Institute of Nano Science and Technology (INST), Mohali, under the Department of Science and Technology (DST), have made a significant discovery. They have identified the semiconductor properties of a well-known self-assembling bacterial shell protein. This breakthrough could lead to the development of electronic devices that are safe, body-friendly, and environmentally […]

Scientists say a space explosion 13,000 years ago may have changed life on Earth |

For a long time, the end of the Ice Age felt like a slow fading rather than a sharp break. Mammoths vanished. Old ways of living disappeared. The climate lurched colder again, without much warning. Archaeologists and geologists have argued over the cause for decades. Some blamed hunting. Others pointed to natural climate shifts. But […]

With days left on Baba Vanga’s 2025 alien prediction, scientists explain what first contact would look like |

A new hypothesis from Columbia University astrophysicist David Kipping suggests humanity’s first sign of alien life won’t be a greeting For most people, the idea of alien contact has been shaped less by astronomy than by cinema. Films have taught us to expect intention: visitors who arrive either with open hands, as in E.T., or […]

Does cracking your knuckles make them bigger? Scientists finally settle long-standing myth |

The habit has long carried a reputation for causing damage, […]

Mysterious deep-sea ‘Bloop’ had scientists convinced they’d finally found the giant Megalodon |

NOAA hydrophones recorded the 1997 “Bloop,” a sound so loud it travelled over 3,219 kilometres underwater. Nearly 30 years after it was first recorded, people are still arguing about a single sound from the deep ocean. The “Bloop,” a strange, powerful underwater noise picked up in 1997, has been folded into YouTube conspiracies, Lovecraft memes […]
