In a major leap for dark matter research, scientists have created axion-like quasiparticles in the lab—offering a new method to study these elusive theoretical particles. Long considered a prime candidate for the mysterious dark matter that pervades the universe, axions have never been directly observed. But thanks to innovative experiments, researchers now have a way…
In a major leap forward for space science, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has directly detected carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of an exoplanet in the HR 8799 system, located 130 light-years from Earth. This marks the first time such a detection has been made through direct imaging beyond our solar system and represents…
On April 1, 2025, SpaceX achieved a groundbreaking milestone with its Fram2 mission, becoming the first-ever crewed spaceflight to enter a polar retrograde orbit. This historic journey marked a significant leap in human space exploration, setting the stage for new possibilities in space research, Earth observation, and interplanetary missions. The mission’s success is not just…
The quest to find extraterrestrial life is one of the most profound scientific endeavors of our time. For decades, scientists have focused on the search for exoplanets—planets orbiting stars outside our solar system—hoping to find environments where life as we know it could exist. Recent advancements in exoplanet research have brought us closer than ever…
