Total Solar Eclipse Opens Window Into Sun’s Corona Why in the News ? A total solar eclipse recently provided European scientists an opportunity to study the Sun’s faint corona from Earth. Such events enable detailed observations of the inner corona, solar magnetic structures and phenomena linked to solar flares and coronal mass ejections. Why Total …
Read MoreDark Oxygen in the Deep Sea: Discovery That Redefines How Oxygen Is Produced Scientists have discovered a phenomenon known as “dark oxygen” nearly 13,000 feet below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, overturning the long-held belief that oxygen can only be produced through sunlight-driven photosynthesis. At such depths, polymetallic nodules rich in manganese, nickel, cobalt, …
Read MoreIndian Scientists Develop Single-Unit Solar Energy Device Scientists at the Centre for Nano and Soft Matter Sciences (CeNS), Bengaluru, under the Department of Science and Technology (DST), have developed a self-charging photo-capacitor, a single-unit device that can capture and store solar energy simultaneously. Unlike conventional systems that require separate solar panels and batteries, this integrated …
Read MoreWhole-Body Coordination Drives Regeneration in Simple Animals Why in the News? Recent studies published in Cell and Cell Reports reveal that regeneration in axolotls and planarian flatworms is not a localised process but a whole-body event, coordinated through gut-derived metabolic signals and nervous system–mediated stress responses. This coordinated approach to regeneration bears similarities to how …
