Starship was burning in space – and it was being streamed live
While everyone focused on the launch, something else happened during Starship that went almost unnoticed. As the vehicle re-entered Earth’s atmosphere at extreme speed, it was surrounded by a superheated plasma cloud capable of melting steel. And somehow, it was still streaming live video from space. This wasn’t just a test flight — it was a breakthrough in how we experience space.
2 supermassive black holes may collide 100 years from now — and Earth would feel it
In a galaxy 500 million light-years away, two supermassive black holes could merge, spreading gravitational waves across the universe.
Taking a closer look at immune 'memory' could spur progress in the fight against lethal illnesses
The average human has about 1.8 trillion immune cells. These cells patrol the body for bacteria, viruses, cancers, and other threats. Vaccines enhance this security system by teaching our immune cells to target specific pathogens. According to the World Health Organization, vaccine-induced immunity saves about six lives every minute. But how long does this protective immune "memory" last?
Trump confirms White House meeting on growing list of missing, murdered scientists
While there is so far no evidence the disappearances are connected, the president says that he will get to the bottom of it.

15,000 nuclear weapons still exist - and 1,800 can launch in 15 minutes
More than 15,000 nuclear weapons still exist across nine countries, and around 1,800 remain on high alert, ready to launch within minutes of a command. Even a small amount of highly enriched uranium could devastate an entire city and kill hundreds of thousands of people instantly. Despite the end of the Cold War, the nuclear threat has never fully disappeared. Experts warn that accidents, cyberattacks, or political miscalculations could still trigger catastrophe.

Something strange is being built on the moon – and it starts with Starship
The first moon base may not be built from scratch — it could be made from rockets. SpaceX’s Starship is designed to land on the Moon and stay there, potentially being converted into a permanent habitat. Some concepts even involve tipping the rocket onto its side and rebuilding the interior for long-term living. But survival on the Moon comes with constant threats, from radiation to meteor impacts. This is how humanity may begin living beyond Earth — and it won’t feel familiar.

Science is drowning in AI spam
Who doesn’t want to talk to a whale or hear their dog tell them a story? Using AI, scientists think they’re closer to bridging the communication barrier between humans and animals. Artificial intelligence has decoded the sperm whale’s “phonetic alphabet”, claim scientists. The Seti Institute, which looks for signs of alien life, has even attempted ...
Scientists made mice 50% older by breaking their DNA structure
Aging may not be inevitable—it may be reversible. Scientists now believe aging is caused by a loss of information in our cells, not damage to DNA itself. Experiments have shown that it’s possible to accelerate aging—and even reverse it in certain tissues. In one breakthrough, researchers restored vision in old mice by resetting their biological age. The same mechanisms that control aging could potentially be activated through lifestyle or future treatments. While the science is still developing, it suggests that aging is not just a process—but something we may one day control.

Trump order pushes Pentagon, NASA to deploy reactors in space
By the end of this decade, if the White House gets its way, a nuclear reactor will be humming on the surface of the Moon. A second will orbit Earth. And on American soil, a mobile military reactor will already be running, feeding power to a domestic base far from any conventional grid. That is […]

Astronomers measure the mind-blowing power and speed of black hole jets for the first time
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — For the first time, scientists have measured the instantaneous mind-blowing power of jets blasting from a black hole. The jet power from this relatively close black hole-star system is equivalent to 10,000 suns, an international research team reported Thursday. They also tracked the jet speed: roughly 355 million mph (54...
This sound came from 1,000+ meters deep in the ocean – something isn’t right
Scientists have recorded strange and powerful sounds coming from deep within the ocean, sometimes from depths of over 1,000 meters, yet many of these noises remain unexplained. Despite advanced technology, the source of some of these signals is still unknown, highlighting how much of the deep sea remains a mystery.
Exclusive: OpenAI lobbies for expanded AI role in life sciences
Advances in AI's ability to take on novel scientific work are helping researchers move faster, connect siloed knowledge, and design treatments more efficiently, according to a new report from OpenAI's policy, research and sciences team shared first with Axios. Why it matters: The life sciences have saved hundreds of millions of lives over the past century, but progress has slowed dramatically — even as the toughest diseases remain unsolved. The...

NASA sent 4 humans back to the moon after 53 years - then fire hit the shield
For the first time in 53 years, NASA sent a crew of four humans back toward the Moon on a mission that reopened the path to deep space. But the most dangerous moment came on the way home, when the spacecraft slammed into Earth’s atmosphere and extreme heat tested the same shield design that had raised concerns before. From lunar flyby views to total communication blackouts, the mission pushed both astronauts and technology to the limit. This is the story of how Artemis II brought humans back to the Moon era — and how close the final test really felt.
China studying one of Earth's oldest lifeforms - aboard Tiangong space station
Footage from the Tiangong space station shows Shenzhou 18 crew members — commander Ye Guangfu and cremates Li Cong and Li Guangsu — engaged in research on the adaptability of anaerobic archaea. The research aims to test their survival under Mars-like conditions and extreme cosmic radiation, contributing to the search for extraterrestrial life, according to a report from CCTV.
