SIA-India bats for higher space budget, hybrid manufacturing incentives & more13:31 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. Botox on just one side: Doctor injects half of husband’s face to show 'shocking' before-and-after2:52 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… What really happens inside an Air Fryer? A YouTuber put a GoPro inside to find out19:47 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. ‘Shoot for the stars, India’s space science future bright’14:26 Kolkata: The sky is not the limit for India and for youngsters aspiring to be astronauts someday. The message landed in the auditorium of the Indian C. Is the universe ending sooner than we thought? New physics suggests a much shorter lifespan11.December Scientists at Radboud University say the universe will fade out far sooner than once believed, not in 10¹¹⁰⁰ years, but in roughly 10⁷⁸. Their calculations build on Stephen Hawking’s idea that black holes slowly evaporate, extending the process to neutron stars and white dwarfs. As these final stellar remnants dissolve, all luminous matter eventually disappears, marking the universe’s theoretical… Scientists say thousands of tiny black holes may be passing through your home every day11.December Scientists now think the universe may be filled with tiny “primordial” black holes, relics from the first moments after the Big Bang, drifting through Earth by the thousand each year and passing through our homes and bodies without leaving a trace. These minuscule singularities may even be the missing dark matter, a possibility that could reshape how we understand the universe’s hidden mass. Why one side of the Earth is cooling faster and what scientists think it reveals about our planet11.December Researchers are exploring the idea that one hemisphere of Earth, dominated by the Pacific Ocean, is losing internal heat faster than the continental side. This phenomenon, driven by differences in crust thickness and composition, has been shaping plate tectonics and volcanic activity over millions of years. The uneven cooling provides insights into Earth's long-term geological evolution and mantl… ‘UFO sighting could be …’: Elon Musk reveals the shocking truth about aliens10.December Tech mogul Elon Musk has weighed in on UFO sightings, asserting that neither he nor SpaceX has encountered any evidence of alien visitors. He suggests most unexplained aerial phenomena have terrestrial origins, like advanced military projects or mundane objects. While acknowledging the ongoing search for extraterrestrial life, Musk emphasizes the need for concrete proof over speculation. The Soviet secret: Why Russia dug the deepest hole on Earth and then sealed it10.December The Kola Superdeep Borehole was the USSR’s bold attempt to probe Earth’s crust during the Cold War, drilling over 12 km down for pure science. Engineers battled extreme heat, collapsing rock and soaring costs before abandoning the effort. Yet the project reshaped geology, revealing unexpected heat, deep fluids and ancient fossils beneath an ordinary Arctic manhole. Woman born with two-uteruses shares candid answers to people’s biggest questions10.December A 27-year-old woman with complete uterus didelphys used Reddit’s AMA to explain life with two uteruses, two cervixes and a divided vaginal canal, from painful periods and “two tunnels” to how her body handled pregnancy. She answered strangers’ questions with humour and clarity, while medical experts note the condition affects just 0.3% of people and can complicate fertility and menstruation. Saudi Arabia to witness century’s longest Solar Eclipse on August 2, 202710.December On August 2, 2027, Saudi Arabia will witness the longest solar eclipse in 100 years, with the Moon blocking the Sun for over six minutes. The eclipse will also pass across North Africa and southern Spain. Daylight will fade to twilight, and the Sun’s glowing corona will shine around the Moon, offering observers a rare, breathtaking celestial spectacle. NASA astronaut Jonny Kim returns after 8 months in space; here’s what he brought back for humanity10.December NASA astronaut Jonny Kim has returned to Earth after an eight-month mission aboard the International Space Station. He conducted vital research in areas like bioprinting and robotics, contributing to advancements in medicine and future space exploration. The mission highlights the ISS's crucial role in scientific discovery and preparing for deeper space travel. NASA shows how air travel can be made safer for future10.December Urban air travel is becoming a reality. NASA is creating advanced systems to manage air taxis and drones safely. These tools will coordinate flights, prevent collisions, and ensure smooth operations. Simulations show these plans can handle busy city skies. This work prepares for a future where air taxis and drones are common in cities. Longest solar eclipse in 100 years to occur in 2027: When, where to watch rare celestial event, India visibility and viewing ti10.December Prepare for a rare celestial spectacle as the longest total solar eclipse in a century occurs on August 2, 2027. For an unprecedented 6 minutes and 23 seconds, the Moon will completely obscure the Sun, plunging parts of North Africa, the Middle East, and the Indian Ocean into midday darkness. India will experience a partial eclipse during this extraordinary event. 3I/ATLAS is carrying ‘key’ ingredients for life, NASA scientist finds10.December Ever since interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS entered view in July, its strange behaviour, shifting colours, erratic motion, a puzzling 16.16-hour “heartbeat,” has fuelled both scientific curiosity and speculation. Now, NASA astrochemist Martin Cordiner’s team has detected unusually abundant methanol and hydrogen cyanide in its plume, chemicals linked to life’s origins. Harvard’s Avi Loeb says the new data only deepens the mystery. |
