Vanderford Glacier (Credit: Monash SAEF) Governments have a crucial 30 to 50 year window to plan for rising sea levels using dependable computer models, before Antarctic ice melt becomes far harder to predict.Scientists say current Antarctic ice loss can guide sea-level planning until mid-century, but forecasts become far less certain later as retreat may accelerate….
Rahul Dravid with former international hockey players Sandeep Somesh (centre) and Anil Aldrin in Bengaluru on Friday Bengaluru: Rahul Dravid, once a hockey midfielder, famously put away the stick and stuck to weaving magic with the willow.

For decades, air-powered tyres have been the standard, but they remain vulnerable to sharp stones, nails and air leaks. However, an amazing solution is proposed by Nasa. Imagine you are cycling through the countryside on a crisp morning when suddenly, the dreaded hiss of a puncture ruins your journey.Glenn Research Center has developed a superelastic…

At first glance, Neptune seems like the last place where violent weather should thrive. The ice giant circles the Sun at an average distance of about 4.5 billion kilometres, leaving it in a region where daylight is remarkably faint. Even at midday, the sunlight reaching Neptune would resemble a dim twilight compared with conditions on…
Long before Earth existed, before the Sun had fully formed, clouds of gas and microscopic dust drifted through interstellar space. Within those tiny grains, astronomers believe, some of the chemistry that eventually gave rise to planets, and perhaps even life, first began. Yet studying this process has always been difficult because the dust forms in…
On an infrared camera, a warm object normally stands out clearly against its cooler surroundings. Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have now built a three-dimensional cloak that bends heat around an object entirely, erasing its thermal outline while keeping the space inside protected from extreme temperatures. Rather than blocking heat at a barrier,…
Some truths about life remain unchanged no matter how much the world evolves. Time moves quickly, opportunities rarely wait, and the decisions we make often shape our future in ways we cannot predict. The timeless saying, “Life is short, art long, opportunity fleeting, experience treacherous, judgment difficult,” reflects on the challenges of living wisely in…
