In an unprecedented find for Hong Kong, scientists have uncovered the city’s first-ever dinosaur fossils on Port Island. Preliminary analysis suggests that the bones likely belonged to a large Cretaceous-era dinosaur, an era dating back 145 to 66 million years. Officials have stated that further studies are necessary to determine the specific species, marking an

NASA’s Lunar Trailblazer mission is set to provide unprecedented insight into the Moon’s hidden water. Built by Lockheed Martin and managed by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, this small satellite aims to locate, measure, and understand water on the lunar surface. Launching next year, the Trailblazer will play a pivotal role in discovering the forms and

Researchers at Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University (NTU) have developed a highly innovative drug delivery solution: a  grain-sized magnetically-guided robot that is capable of delivering multiple drugs directly to precise areas within the body. This advancement, led by NTU’s School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, could soon transform medical treatments by providing highly controlled and noninvasive

China is starting onn an ambitious plan to make its Tiangong space station better. They aim to increase the station’s operational capabilities. Tiangong, China’s orbital outpost, has been fully operational since November 2022, following the addition of the Mengtian science module. The space station, which features a three-module T-shape design, is currently functioning in low

NASA has given nine possible landing regions for its upcoming Artemis III mission. This mission will mark humanity’s first crewed journey to the Moon in over fifty years. The selected regions are located near the lunar South Pole, an area rich in scientific potential. The lunar South Pole is a crucial target for exploration. According

Twins Matthew and Michael Youlden have developed a unique language called Umeri, spoken exclusively by them. The Youlden twins, originally from Manchester, UK, are known for their linguistic abilities, each fluent in 25 languages. However, Umeri holds a special place in their hearts. They first started creating the language as children, and it has grown

A supernova that appeared in 1181 has been linked to the Pa 30 nebula giving us a rare “zombie star.” This discovery raises new questions about how these celestial events unfold. Advanced imaging techniques from the W.M. Keck Observatory uncovered unusual filaments expanding from the core of this supernova remnant. The supernova, recorded as SN

China has set a new world benchmark with the development of a powerful 42-tesla resistive magnet. The country has broken the previous 41.4-tesla record maintained by the United States since 2017. The breakthrough was achieved on September 22 by the High Magnetic Field Laboratory at the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, affiliated with the Chinese

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has unveiled the first images from its groundbreaking space-based telescope, the Compact Coronagraph (CCOR-1), which has captured a vivid solar storm. Positioned on NOAA’s latest satellite, GOES-19, this new tool is the first operational coronagraph in space designed to actively monitor the sun’s outer atmosphere, the corona. Revolutionising

For over a century, the story of Sir Ernest Shackleton’s ill-fated Antarctic expedition has fascinated the world. Now, thanks to detailed 3D scans and underwater images, a new chapter unfolds with a closer look at Endurance, the ship that sank during the 1914 journey. First located in 2022 under the frozen Weddell Sea, this iconic

Scientists have developed a patch capable of tackling bacteria on the skin using mild electric pulses, which could help reduce infections if the bacteria were to enter the bloodstream. Known as the Bioelectronic Localized Antimicrobial Stimulation Therapy (BLAST) patch, this device emits a harmless electrical current designed to target specific skin bacteria that pose infection

A study has brought attention to the nebula known as Pa 30. This Nebula was formed after a supernova that was seen from Earth in 1181. At the center of this nebula is a white dwarf, often referred to as a “zombie star,” which continues to shine with impressive heat and light long after its

Deep Blue Aerospace, a Chinese company based in Jiangsu, has announced plans to enter the burgeoning space tourism market. The company aims to start launching paying customers into suborbital space by 2027. Tickets for these exclusive journeys will be priced at approximately 1.5 million RMB, equivalent to about $210,000. Deep Blue says this experience will

Scientists at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center have gotten the evidence that traumatic brain injuries (TBI) could heighten the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. This study had involved both animal models and human brain tissue. It sheds light on how TBIs may trigger harmful protein build-ups in the brain, leading to cognitive issues

The SpaceX Dragon Endeavour spacecraft successfully undocked from the Harmony module of the International Space Station (ISS). On board were NASA astronauts Matt Dominick, Mike Barratt, and Jeanette Epps, along with Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin. The crew members, part of NASA’s Crew-8 mission, began their return to Earth after spending several months aboard the ISS.

Astronomers have uncovered something surprising while looking 13 billion years into the past using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). They’ve spotted supermassive black hole-powered quasars that appear to be hanging out in isolation. This is odd because, according to current theories, black holes need to be surrounded by a lot of material to grow
