Hundreds of Amazon dolphins were boiled to death after lake temperatures surged to hot-tub levels |

The Amazon has always been a place of astonishing resilience, a realm where pink river dolphins glide through tea-coloured waters and rainforest canopies breathe moisture into the sky. But in Lake Tefé, in Brazil’s Amazonas region, that balance collapsed. At the height of a severe drought and blistering heatwave, the lake’s water surged to 41°C,…

If you fell into a black hole, would you survive? What new research says about spaghettification |

Picture yourself drifting in space, caught in the pull of a black hole. The idea feels like pure science fiction, yet physicists have spent decades calculating what would really happen if a human fell in. From warped space-time to unimaginable stretching forces, a black hole is the most extreme environment in the known universe.A peer-reviewed…

Scientists just discovered a new kind of ice ‘XXI’ and it’s nothing like the one in your freezer |

Water is one of the simplest molecules known to science, yet it continues to surprise researchers. Under normal conditions, it freezes into the familiar form of ice that floats on lakes and rivers. But when water is exposed to extremely high pressures, its molecules behave in unexpected ways. They rearrange into different crystalline structures, creating…

Astrophysicist Brian Cox shares ‘reliable’ sources amid ‘alien spaceship’ theories on comet 3I/ATLAS |

Professor Brian Cox has moved to shut down growing online theories claiming that an interstellar object, 3I/ATLAS, could be an alien spacecraft approaching Earth. The astrophysicist, known for his accessible explanations of complex science, urged the public to rely on verified research rather than “drivel” circulating on social media. His response comes amid mounting speculation…

How volcanoes form under the sea: Formation, eruptions and environmental impact |

Submarine volcanoes, volcanic structures hidden beneath the ocean surface, play a vital role in shaping Earth’s geology and marine ecosystems. Formed through tectonic plate movements, rising magma, and deep mantle hotspots, these underwater volcanoes behave like their land-based counterparts but operate under immense pressure. As magma pushes through cracks in the seafloor, volcanic formations emerge,…

Earth is losing its spark! NASA uncovers alarming shifts in climate balance |

New satellite observations reveal a subtle but significant change in Earth’s reflectivity, suggesting that the planet is absorbing more solar energy than before. This phenomenon, known as darkening, reflects an imbalance between the northern and southern hemispheres, with the north losing brightness more rapidly. According to a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy…
