Chinese Academy of Sciences scientists led by Professor Zhu Jianxi have discovered the fern Blechnum orientale can create rare-earth minerals inside its leaves. This first-ever finding of plant-based rare-earth biomineralization enables a sustainable "green mining" technique to supply elements vital for AI and clean energy technologies.

EPFL researchers have solved the decades-old mystery of unpredictable nanopore behavior, revealing how electrical charges control ion flow and gating. The discovery enables engineered nanopores for better DNA sequencing and systems that mimic brain synapses for bio-inspired computing.

A Turkish military C-130 cargo plane crashed near the Azerbaijan-Georgia border, resulting in the death of all 20 soldiers on board. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has coordinated with regional leaders and offered condolences for the nation's loss.

Chinese military experts from the National Defence University have revealed plans for a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier featuring electromagnetic rail guns and laser weapons. Professor Liang Fang and Rear Admiral Ma Weiming describe a "supership" that could transform naval combat, while the U.S. Navy abandoned similar technology after spending $500 million.

Frankenburg Technology, an Estonian firm, has developed the Mark 1 missile—just 65 centimeters long and designed to counter Russian drones at one-tenth the cost of existing systems. CEO Kusti Salm says the $50,000 weapon will be "the most-needed capability in the Western world," with factories in two NATO countries producing hundreds per day. The AI-guided missile currently hits targets 56 percent of the time, aiming for 90 percent accuracy, offering a cost-effective alternat

A car explosion near New Delhi's Red Fort on November 10, 2025, killed 13 people using suspected ammonium nitrate-fuel oil (ANFO) mixture, the same compound that caused the 2020 Beirut explosion killing over 200 people. Ammonium nitrate (NH₄NO₃), a white crystalline fertilizer with molecular weight 80.043 g/mol, becomes explosive when mixed with fuel oil. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) investigation identified a doctor from Pulwama as the likely vehicle occupant, wit

China is launching a rescue mission for three astronauts stranded on the Tiangong space station after their Shenzhou-20 capsule was hit by orbital debris. The Shenzhou-22 will now retrieve commander Chen Dong and his crew, marking the first use of China's "rolling standby" rescue system established in 2021.

University of Michigan engineers developed methods to convert CO₂ waste from ethanol production into sustainable aviation fuel, reducing carbon intensity by 84-90%. Using 48 megatons of annual CO₂ from 15.6 billion gallons of U.S. ethanol production could rapidly scale decarbonized air travel.

SISSA researchers have revealed that the first black holes, boson stars, and cannibal stars could have formed within less than a second after the Big Bang. Their Physical Review D study shows how particle interactions created compact cosmic objects instantly.

Researchers at Queen Mary University of London have discovered that bumblebees can learn to read simple 'Morse code,' differentiating between long and short light flashes to find food. The Biology Letters study, published November 12, shows this ability in an insect for the first time.

University of Southampton scientists led by Professor Thomas Gernon have discovered that continents peel from below, with material traveling over 1,000 km to fuel ocean volcanoes. This solves the mystery of continental material found on islands like Christmas Island.

China's PLA Air Force has debuted its GJ-11 stealth drone flying in a coordinated formation with a J-20 fighter and J-16D electronic warfare aircraft. Experts call the trio a "perfect" combination for breaching air defenses, marking a major step in manned-unmanned teaming.

Iranian officials state their missile arsenal now surpasses its pre-war size, with factories working 24/7 to enable a single volley of 2,000 missiles to overwhelm Israeli defenses. Experts confirm a focus on both quantity and qualitative improvements learned from the 12-Day War.

United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) has released unprecedented footage of an Su-57 Felon's loaded weapons bays, showing Kh-58UShK missiles. The reveal, ahead of the Dubai Airshow, marks the first such detailed display in 15 years as Russia pushes for exports of its premier stealth fighter.

Yonsei University astronomers led by Professor Young-Wook Lee have published evidence that the universe's expansion is now decelerating, challenging the Nobel-winning dark energy acceleration theory. Their study of 300 galaxies corrects a key bias in supernova measurements and could mark a major paradigm shift in cosmology.

California company Vast has launched the Haven Demo, a key test satellite for its planned Haven-1 commercial space station. Launched via SpaceX, the demo will validate critical systems for six months ahead of the station's planned 2026 debut, which will host a crew of four aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon.

The European Space Agency is funding the HOBI-WAN project to create astronaut food from air and urine. With OHB System AG and Solar Foods, ESA will test protein production in microgravity, enabling future Moon and Mars missions without Earth resupply.

Oxford University and Southwest Research Institute researchers discovered Enceladus loses heat from both poles, confirming the icy moon's ocean has long-term thermal stability for life. The 54 gigawatt heat output matches tidal heating predictions, creating a balanced environment where life could develop.

Northrop Grumman is collaborating with Luminary Cloud and NVIDIA to apply Physics AI for designing spacecraft thrusters. This technology could dramatically accelerate hardware development, potentially scaling to design entire spacecraft in the future.

F414 engines to power its domestically built Tejas Mk1A fighter jets, bolstering a $7 billion modernization drive amid regional tensions with Pakistan.
