China on Sunday launched a new three-person mission to complete assembly work on its permanent orbiting space station. The Shenzhou 14 crew will spend six months on the Tiangong station, during which they will oversee the addition of two laboratory modules to join the main Tianhe living space that was launched in April 2021.Read More

New study, conducted on mice, suggests that “poisonous flowers” bulging with the cellular debris could be the main cause of Alzheimer’s Disease. Researchers said their findings suggest that neurons containing these ‘poisonous flowers’ could be the ‘principal source’ of toxic amyloid plaques.Read More
Astronomers made the discovery using the Atacama Large Millimetre/submillimetre Array (ALMA), the largest astronomical project in existence. The 3C 273 galaxy is a quasar, the nucleus of a galaxy believed to house a massive black hole at its centre.Read More
Jeff Bezos’ space tourism venture Blue Origin completed its fifth crewed launch on Saturday after a New Shepard rocket’s back-up system that had not met expectations delayed the voyage last month. Blue Origin’s fourth flight landed successfully in March in west Texas after taking six passengers for a 10-minute journey to the edge of space.Read…
Astronomers believe asteroids have remained virtually unchanged since their genesis billions of years ago in the early solar system. A new research, which was based on fragments of asteroids that collided with Earth, provides a timeline for part of the mayhem.Read More
Postnatal gene therapy may be able to prevent or repair many of the harmful effects of Pitt-Hopkins syndrome, a rare genetic condition, according to researchers at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine. In an animal model of Pitt-Hopkins syndrome, researchers discovered that restoring lost gene activity eliminates numerous clinical indications.Read More
Scientists from the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe have constructed simulations that directly mimic the whole life cycle of some of the greatest collections of galaxies discovered 11 billion years ago in the distant universe. Most are simply statistically constructed to resemble the real world. Constrained cosmological simulations, on …Read…
A research conducted by Giannis Daras and Alexandros G. Dimakis, both students at the University of Texas at Austin, has claimed last week that the DALL-E 2 model may have established its own hidden language to communicate about objects. By asking the AI to create photos with text captions and then feeding the captions back…
An international team of scientists has released the Hubble Space Telescope’s largest near-infrared image ever. The latest find will allow astronomers to map the universe’s star-forming regions and learn how the oldest, most distant galaxies formed.Read More
NASA will launch three rockets within weeks from northern Australia for scientific research. This will be the first time when the space agency will fire rockets from a commercial facility outside the United States.Read More
