New modelling suggests the Southern Ocean could one day release the vast heat it has stored from greenhouse gas pollution. If CO₂ levels were pushed to net-negative, deep convection may trigger a sudden “thermal burp” that warms the planet for decades. Though idealised, the study shows how Antarctica’s surrounding seas could shape long-term climate outcomes.

Scientists have spotted an unusual gravitational-wave signal that may reveal the universe’s first primordial black holes—tiny relics dating back to the Big Bang. Recorded by LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA in November 2025, the event involves an object far lighter than any known stellar remnant. If verified, it could reshape theories of black holes and dark matter.

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have detected unexpected ultraviolet radiation around five young protostars in the Ophiuchus molecular cloud. Since infant stars are not expected to emit UV light, the finding challenges long-standing star-formation models. Researchers ruled out external illumination from nearby stars, concluding the UV must originate w…

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.

Nagin Season 7 has already created a strong online buzz with fans celebrating Priyanka Chahar Chaudhary’s entry into the franchise. Social platforms are filled with theories about the dragon twist, the Mahakumbh Mela setting, and the upcoming Mahayudh. Audiences are expecting high drama, strong VFX, and gripping character arcs.

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 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 …
