Scientists discovered that a tiny nematode leaps toward flying insects using static electricity. The findings reveal how electrostatic forces drive predator-prey interactions and could reshape how we understand small-scale ecosystems.

ESA satellites have recorded the world’s largest ocean swells — nearly 20 meters high — generated by Storm Eddie in the North Pacific. These giant waves carried storm energy over 24,000 kilometers, reaching distant coasts and proving that ocean swells can transport immense power across the globe even when storms stay offshore.

Dark matter, though invisible, might subtly alter the colour of light passing through it, according to a new University of York study. Researchers propose that weak particle interactions could create faint red or blue tints, offering a new path for future telescopes to detect dark matter indirectly.

Researchers from IISc and Caltech have solved a decades-old mystery in photosynthesis, explaining why electrons move through only one pathway. The discovery could help build efficient artificial energy systems.

Astrophotographer Brennan Gilmore captured a rare “disconnection event” on Oct. 2, showing solar wind cutting Comet Lemmon’s glowing green ion tail. The comet, nearing its October 2025 flyby, displayed a vivid coma and long tail—revealing how solar activity reshapes comets in real time.

SpaceX’s Starship Flight 11 marked the final mission of the V2 design, achieving flawless launch and recovery. The next-gen V3 Starship will feature new Raptor 3 engines, advanced docking systems, and upgraded booster recovery—critical milestones as SpaceX prepares for its upcoming Mars fleet and NASA’s Artemis III lunar landing.
