Our science section features some of the most recent developments in science. We transform complex research into accessible storytelling. From the depths of the Mesozoic era to the edge of the universe, we bring you the latest scientific discoveries and findings. Our features include stories that highlight cutting-edge research, developments in astronomy, and interviews with researchers and innovators.
We track critical developments in climate change and sustainable technologies. From neuroscience to genetics, our coverage spans across diverse fields. We bring you live coverage of major science conferences, breakthrough announcements, and space missions as they happen.
The six galaxies are as big as the Milky Way and comprise mature red stars that seem scattered across deep field images captured by the James Webb Space Telescope.
A Russian satellite with "mysterious origins" broke up in the atmosphere at an altitude of about 1,169 kilometres, leaving behind a cloud of space junk that could last in orbit for more than a century.
Keanumycins, a new group of molecules named after movie star Keanu Reeves, could work as effective antimicrobial agents that protect both humans and crops.
Astronomers have used data from the James Webb Space Telescope's Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) to detect an asteroid that is about the size of Rome's Colosseum. If confirmed, this could be the smallest asteroid ever detected by the Webb telescope.
NASA successfully completed the thermal testing of its X-57 Maxwell electric plane's cruise motor controllers, taking the experimental flight design one step close to its first flight.
Scientists used a phenomenon called "gravitational lensing" to measure the mass of a solitary dwarf star with the Hubble Space Telescope for the first time.
Scientists have discovered 12 new Jovian moons, meaning that Jupiter now has 92 moons, making it the planet with the most moons in the solar system ahead of Saturn with 83.
Scientists at Austin-based Colossal Biosciences are working on a task seemingly straight out of science-fiction—bringing the dodo back from extinction.
A space junk disaster in the low-Earth orbit was avoided as a defunct satellite, and a rocket body had a near collision about 984 kilometres above the surface of the planet.
This composite image made using data from multiple telescopes contains hundreds and maybe even thousands of galaxies colliding. Here is how you can decode the different parts of the image.
A green comet, dubbed C/2022 E3 (ZTF), is expected to make its closest approach to our planet on Wednesday, February 13. Here is how you can view the comet in India.
Scientists have uncovered a new thalattosuchian—an ancient “cousin” of modern-day crocodiles—which could be the oldest of its kind ever discovered. The newly-discovered fossil could help fill a gap in the fossil record of these animals.
NASA's Perseverance rover has dropped the tenth and last sample tube that will form a backup "sample depot" on the red planet. Here is how the space agency plans to return them to Earth and what it looking for.
Discovered in 1997, 10199 Chariklo is the first asteroid to have a ring system. Scientists have now used the James Webb Space Telescope to study the distant asteroid and its icy rings.
NASA has developed and tested the agency’s first full-scale rotating detonation rocket engine, or RDRE, which can revolutionise how future propulsion systems for deep space missions are built.
The James Webb Space Telescope's NIRISS (Near Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph) is currently unavailable for science observations due to a technical glitch. This is the second such issue that the observatory has encountered.
Before the new find, an 87-million-year gap in the fossil record obscured the early evolutionary history of caecilians, leading to much debate amongst scientists over the relationships of caecilians to their amphibian relatives, frogs and salamanders.
