In September 2023, an unusual seismic signal reverberated around the globe every 90 seconds for nine consecutive days and was then repeated a month later. Scientists were initially unable to…
Fast Evolving X-ray Transients (FEXTs) are intense bursts of soft X-ray emissions that can last for minutes to hours with a wide range of luminosities. Due to their enigmatic nature,…
NASA scientists might soon be able to forecast volcanic eruptions by monitoring how trees respond from space. Now, in a new collaboration with the Smithsonian Institution, they have discovered that tree…
A neutrino with an energy level never observed before has been detected in the depths of the Mediterranean Sea. The subatomic particle, measuring an estimated 220 quadrillion electron volts, was…
A volcanic eruption of unprecedented scale has been observed on Jupiter's moon Io, with a massive hotspot detected in the southern hemisphere. The discovery was made by NASA's Juno spacecraft…

New research has challenged long-held views on human olfaction, revealing that our ability to detect changes in odours is far quicker than once thought. Dr Wen Zhou, a researcher at…
Astronomers, using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), have identified one of the oldest supernovas ever recorded, believed to have occurred approximately 11.4 billion years ago. This stellar explosion, designated…
