Australian-Chinese Research Makes Breakthrough in Solving Mystery of How Mars Evolved
TEHRAN (ANA)- Australian and Chinese scientists have made a breakthrough in solving the mystery of how the landscape of Mars evolved over billions of years.
Astronomers Observe Real-Time Formation of Black Hole Jets for 1st Time
TEHRAN (ANA)- A large international team of scientists has observed a phenomenon that astronomers didn't ever expect to see happen in real time. The findings are described in a new paper published in Astrophysical Journal Letters led by Eileen Meyer, associate professor of physics at UMBC.
China’s Shenzhou-19 Astronauts on Space Station Conduct New Experiments
TEHRAN (ANA)- China's Shenzhou-19 crew aboard the orbiting Tiangong space station has carried out a variety of experiments since the beginning of 2025, including a test on a pipeline inspection robot, according to the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA).
New Study Identifies Earth’s Secret Metal Highways beneath Ancient Continents
TEHRAN (ANA)- Research from Macquarie University shows that critical metals accumulate around the edges of ancient continental cores due to silica loss in rising carbonate-rich melts.
Webb Telescope Reveals Milky Way’s Ancient Twin Sparkling from Cosmic Dawn
TEHRAN (ANA)- NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has discovered a galaxy named Firefly Sparkle, existing just 600 million years post-Big Bang and bearing similar mass to the early Milky Way.
Astronomers Discover Spheroid Formation Process in Early Universe
TEHRAN (ANA)- An international team of astronomers has discovered the formation process of in situ spheroids in distant starburst galaxies in the early universe.
Scientists Uncover New Clues about Alien Life
TEHRAN (ANA)- Researchers have developed a model indicating that our universe’s conditions for life, influenced by dark energy density, are not ideal, although life remains viable and this suggests a reevaluation of the cosmic factors essential for life.
Scientists Finally Uncover Mysterious Origin of Most Meteorites
TEHRAN (ANA)- Researchers found that 70% of meteorites originate from three asteroid families formed by recent collisions and they have identified the sources of over 90% of all known meteorites.
Black Hole Mergers Hiding Mysterious New Particles
TEHRAN (ANA)- Merging black holes may reveal new particles through gravitational waves, either via ionization or specific orbital changes which offers new strategies to search for ultralight particles.
Astronomers Discover Record-Breaking Twin Quasars in Early Universe
TEHRAN (ANA)- Astronomers have identified the earliest pair of quasars, shining 900 million years post-Big Bang, revealing insights into galaxy mergers and the reionization era of the Universe.
