Would come in handy! More room for payloads too!


British researchers have tested a prototype self-eating rocket that could pave the way for cheaper launches of small satellites and would leave no debris behind.

The concept rocket engine, called Ouroborous-3 after the ancient mythical creature that eats its own tail, was developed by a team of researchers at the University of Glasgow in the U.K.

People below the age of 50 are getting cancer more than ever before — and doctors are stumped as to why.

As the Wall Street Journal reports, the shocking 2020 death of beloved actor Chadwick Boseman, who died of colorectal cancer at only 43 years old, seemed to wake the public up to the growing trend that researchers had been warning about for a decade prior.

“Colorectal cancer was the canary in the coal mine,” mused cancer epidemiologist Timothy Rebbeck of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. Soon after, there was seemingly an explosion of all different types of cancers, many of which deal with or are near the gastrointestinal tract: appendix, pancreatic, stomach, and uterine.

Tata and Airbus will become the first private sector companies to manufacture helicopters in India.


Tata Group, one of India’s leading conglomerates, announced the signing of an agreement with France’s Airbus to jointly manufacture civilian helicopters. The deal, announced during French President Emmanuel Macron’s state visit to India, signifies a deeper collaboration between the two nations in the aerospace sector.

Speaking at a media briefing, India’s Foreign Secretary Vinay Kwatra revealed that the agreement between Tata Group and Airbus to produce H125 helicopters would feature a “significant indigenous and localization component.”

Tata and Airbus, already jointly producing C-295 transport aircraft in Gujarat, have added another dimension to their strategic partnership with the new deal. The joint venture is set to establish a Final Assembly Line (FAL) for H125 helicopters in India, with production expected to commence in 2026.

MIT physicists have discovered a surprising twist in the Milky Way’s rotation curve that challenges our understanding of dark matter. By tracking the speed of stars across the galaxy, they’ve uncovered a potential deficit of dark matter at the galactic core.

Traditionally, astronomers believed that dark matter was responsible for the galaxy’s rotation. Still, the new analysis raises the possibility that the Milky Way’s gravitational center may be lighter in mass than previously thought.
