A new radiocarbon study of museum artefacts linked to King Ahmose suggests Egypt’s New Kingdom began later than long believed, extending the chaotic Second Intermediate Period. By directly comparing Egyptian objects with dating from the Santorini eruption, researchers challenge established chronologies without rewriting textual history, reshaping how scholars understand the timing of Egypt’s impe…

Scientists have discovered an unusually thick rock layer, approximately 20 kilometers deep, beneath the Bermuda Triangle. This geological feature, unlike any previously documented, may explain the region's elevated seafloor despite a lack of recent volcanic activity. The discovery challenges existing models of oceanic crust formation and evolution.

A United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket is set to launch 27 Amazon Leo satellites from Cape Canaveral on December 16, 2025. This mission is a significant step for Amazon's ambitious Project Kuiper, aiming to establish a global satellite internet network. The launch brings Amazon closer to competing with SpaceX's Starlink by expanding its constellation for remote internet access.

Astronomers are uncovering distant worlds beyond our solar system using ingenious indirect methods like observing stellar wobbles and dips in starlight. Advanced space telescopes are now pushing the boundaries, enabling direct detection and the study of exoplanet atmospheres, bringing us closer to finding potentially habitable Earth-like planets and understanding life's cosmic origins.

Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is now emitting a distinct green glow as it nears Earth, a transformation attributed to the vaporization of ice and dust after its close solar approach. This color change, caused by diatomic carbon molecules, offers a rare glimpse into the composition and behavior of objects from beyond our solar system.

Scientists have uncovered a massive, hidden rock layer beneath Bermuda, over 12 miles thick, defying typical oceanic island formation. This unusual geological structure, less dense than the surrounding mantle, may explain why Bermuda sits unusually high above the Atlantic. The discovery, made using seismic waves, suggests a link to Earth's ancient past and the breakup of the supercontinent Pangae…

Three Mile Island, site of a past nuclear accident, is set to power the AI boom. A long-shuttered reactor is being rebuilt to provide reliable, round-the-clock electricity for surging AI data center demands. Microsoft has signed a power purchase agreement, securing carbon-free energy. This revival signals a broader shift towards nuclear power to fuel technological advancements.

Alcohol has a habit of leaving the body drier than it started. By interfering with hormones that regulate water balance, it increases fluid loss even as it’s being consumed, while its breakdown in the liver adds further strain. The result is thirst, headaches and fatigue that feel familiar to anyone who’s overdone it. Understanding the biology helps explain why simple measures, food, water and ti…

ISRO's ambitious BlueBird-6 satellite launch, a significant Indo-US collaboration, is now set for December 21, 2025, after a slight reschedule. This massive satellite, featuring a large phased array antenna, promises direct-to-device broadband for underserved global regions, marking a leap in communication technology and showcasing India's prowess in complex space projects.

A groundbreaking AI model, GenCast, is revolutionizing weather forecasting by generating rapid, probabilistic global predictions for up to 15 days. Unlike traditional methods, it captures uncertainty and offers multiple plausible weather scenarios, outperforming current leading systems. This advancement promises more accurate, timely, and valuable insights for critical decisions in energy, disast…

Western Washington is grappling with devastating floods following relentless rain, amplified by powerful atmospheric rivers. These moisture-laden sky rivers, coupled with the region's mountainous terrain, unleashed extreme rainfall. Back-to-back storms saturated the ground, overwhelming rivers and leading to widespread inundation. Climate change is intensifying these events, increasing flood risk…

India Business News: BENGALURU: The Satcom Industry Association-India (SIA-India) has called for a threefold increase in the national space budget, creation of specialised.

A Vancouver-based dermatologist, Dr Katie Beleznay, board-certified in both Canada and the US demonstrated how Botox works by injecting only one side of her husband Ben’s face. The controlled experiment showed, in real time, how neuromodulators soften lines, relax specific muscles and subtly change symmetry. Her video demystified a treatment often associated with extremes, offering a clear, pract…

A YouTuber’s decision to slip a GoPro into an air fryer, briefly, at low heat, offered thousands a rare look inside a kitchen staple we rarely question. The short clip, showing the fan and coil in quiet action, surprised viewers who realised they’d never actually seen how the device works. A simple, safe demonstration answered a very everyday curiosity.
