A study has revealed that grey seals can monitor their blood oxygen levels to determine when they need to surface for air. Researchers tested seals in controlled environments, exposing them to different oxygen and carbon dioxide levels. The findings confirmed that higher oxygen led to longer dives, while reduced oxygen shortened them. Surprisingly, increased carbon di...

A new study suggests water formed in the universe just 100–200 million years after the Big Bang, much earlier than previously estimated. Researchers examined ancient supernovas to understand how oxygen combined with hydrogen to create water. If confirmed, these findings could change perspectives on when the conditions for life first emerged. The study indicates that...
Latest findings suggest that the Earth's atmosphere went through a sequence of oxygenation episodes fueled by geological and biological interactions rather than a single event.
Garmin has launched its Enduro 3 series of rugged smartwatches in India. The new range arrives with solar charging support and a claimed battery life of 110 hours in GPS mode. The lineup includes several health and fitness sensors to track heart rate, blood oxygen saturation level, sleep, energy level and more. The Garmin Enduro 3 series boasts an always-on AMOLED dis...
Pope Francis was "resting" Thursday after spending a "peaceful night", as he nears three weeks in hospital with pneumonia, the Vatican said.
ISRO has successfully conducted a hot test for the semi-cryogenic SE2000 engine, a crucial step in enhancing future heavy-lift space missions. The Power Head Test Article (PHTA) validated key engine subsystems, including the gas generator, turbo pumps, and pre-burner.
