Starlink is connecting more than 22,000 students across 85 schools in remote areas of Ghana with reliable high-speed internet from space. With download speeds soaring from under 5 Mbps to over 200+ Mbps, students can now access online learning, unlocking a world of knowledge and possibility Previously plagued with limited infrastructure and connectivity options, 85 schools in remote Ghana now have access to Starlink. In collaboration with the non-profit group, Our Future Priz

Researchers at IISc and PRL simulate Martian conditions to test how baker’s yeast withstands shock waves and toxic salts found on Mars. Baker’s yeast best known for its role in baking, brewing, and biotechnology—may also hold secrets about the endurance of life beyond Earth. In a groundbreaking study, researchers from the Department of Biochemistry (BC) at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), in collaboration with the Physical Research Laboratory (PRL), Ahmedabad, have d

Scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have found relics of rare CI chondrite meteorites in Chang'e-6 moon samples. This discovery confirms these water-rich materials, which make up less than 1% of Earth's meteorites, migrated from the outer Solar System, reshaping our understanding of planetary formation and the origin of lunar water.

Two aerospace giants are building something unprecedented in Arkansas—a 270-acre facility that could reshape America's defense supply chain. Lockheed Martin and General Dynamics are rapidly developing domestic solid rocket motor production capabilities, hitting major milestones ahead of 2026 qualification tests. With sixteen specialized facilities and nearly 100 new jobs, this partnership addresses a critical vulnerability in U.S. defense manufacturing while bringing advanced

Mars dune with gullies in the Matara crater. The erratic course is probably due to disturbances such as wind ridges in the sand bed, sending the blocks in a different direction each time. Pits at the bottom of the slope mark the end of the process. Credit: Image taken by HiRISE (ESP_030528_1300_RED), NASA/JPL/University of Arizona. Did life really exist on Mars after all? Unfortunately, there is no conclusive evidence for this yet. Nevertheless, it would seem that some form o
