An international network of gravitational wave observatories has more than doubled the number of known cosmic collisions, detecting 128 new mergers of black holes and neutron stars. The results, published in the updated Gravitational Wave Transient Catalog (GWTC-4.0), showcase the expanding reach of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration. The detections, gathered between May 2023 and January 2

After its July 30 launch, the NASA-ISRO NISAR radar mission cleared preliminary health checks and on Aug 15 unfurled its 39-foot 12-meter reflector, then powered up both L-band and S-band SARs. Orbit raising toward a 464-mile 747-kilometer mean altitude began Aug 26, with science-quality images expected within weeks. Full science begins about 90 days after launch. he first dual-SAR missio

Earths chemical make-up reached completion within the first three million years of the Solar Systems formation, according to a new study by the University of Berns Institute of Geological Sciences. However, this early Earth, known as the proto-Earth, lacked volatile elements such as water and carbon compounds that are essential for life. The findings, published in Science Advances, suggest

The Earth supports the only known life in the universe, all of it depending heavily on the presence of liquid water to facilitate chemical reactions. While single-celled life has existed almost as long as the Earth itself, it took roughly three billion years for multicellular life to form. Human life has existed for less than one 10 thousandth of the age of the Earth. All of this suggests
Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Sep 01, 2025
A research team led by Prof. Sun Youwen at the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has unveiled two artificial intelligence systems designed to enhance the stability and efficiency of fusion experiments. Their results appear in the journals Nuclear Fusion and Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion. Fusion energy promises clean, virtually inexhaustible powe
