New research indicates a 90% chance that an exploding primordial black hole could be observed within 10 years. Such a discovery would prove the existence of black holes formed right after the Big Bang and expand knowledge of hidden particles.

Yale researchers report progress in converting plastic trash into usable bio-oil. Their new process, more efficient and less costly, could one day provide an unlimited alternative energy source. BulletsIn Plastic waste turned into bio-oil using pyrolysis Standard yield ~60%, Yale method raises to 66% Breakthrough: no catalyst needed, lowers cost Uses 3D-printed carbon column reactor

Black holes trap all light, making them invisible. Yet, astronomers detect and measure them through effects on nearby matter, radiation, and spacetime. BulletsIn Black holes invisible, no light escapes event horizon Gas, dust spiral in, form hot accretion disc, emit strong radiation Bright emissions allow detection billions of light years away Star motions near galaxy

Earth is spinning slightly faster since 2020, shortening days by milliseconds. Scientists say we may need to subtract a leap second from clocks by 2029 — a first. The cause remains unclear, though internal Earth changes are suspected. Scientists reassure there’s no danger. BulletsIn Earth spinning faster since 2020; shortening day length by fractions of

Researchers have found a potential site on Mars for the first human base. The location is Amazonis Planitia, a mid-latitude volcanic plain. It likely contains water ice just below the surface—crucial for survival, fuel, and food. The discovery, led by planetary geologist Erica Luzzi, was made using NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter images. BulletsIn Ice found

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists have found chemical traces on a distant planet, K2-18b, that may point to microbial life. The planet lies 124 light-years away in the Leo constellation and is about 2.6 times larger than Earth. While not conclusive, the detection of Earth-like biosignatures marks a major milestone in the search

242Scientists have identified Dallol Geothermal Field in Ethiopia as the only place on Earth with no life at all. Even microbes—known to survive extreme conditions—cannot live here. The discovery reshapes our understanding of life’s limits, despite the presence of liquid water. BulletsIn Dallol Geothermal Field has no microbial life—first such known place on Earth Located

Researchers studying samples collected by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft from the asteroid Bennu have discovered evidence of organic compounds, which are the building blocks of life. These findings suggest that asteroids like Bennu may have played a role in transporting life-supporting chemicals across the solar system, potentially influencing the development of life on other planets and

In Timor-Leste, a small group of citizen scientists, led by marine ecologist Karen Edyvane, is uncovering secrets about pygmy blue whales, one of the largest and least understood animals on Earth. From the village of Subaun, fishermen, students, and volunteers use drones, cameras, and social media to document whale sightings and study their behavior, helping
