Inside the Sun, scientists have discovered a class of never-before-seen waves that flow in the opposite direction of its rotation and travel at speeds that defy explanation. According to a new study, the “undetermined nature of these waves provides novel physics and fresh insight into solar dynamics.” This study was carried out at NYU Abu Dhabi’s Center for Space Science in partnership with the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) and New York University, employing computing resources from both NYUAD and TIFR. How did researchers detect these waves? The researchers, led by Research Associate Chris S. Hanson, detailed how they…

Headline: Formula One is back in business for 2022, albeit without the incredible drama, anguish, and joy of last season’s conclusion in Abu Dhabi. The first race of the Formula One season always leads to a flurry of broad generalisations about the next season. They are sometimes correct and sometimes incorrect. With uneven tarmac and a mix of slow corners and lengthy straights, the Bahrain International Circuit is unlike any other circuit F1 competes on. Ferrari ended their title drought with Charles Leclerc on the top step of the podium, and Lewis Hamilton was ecstatic to finish third. With a…

The first notion that sprang to mind as people began staring up at the sky was, “Are we alone in the universe?” Our solar system was formed after we discovered planets orbiting the Sun that were billions of kilometres apart.  Once in a while, a breakthrough in space research occurs that opens up new possibilities beyond what we’ve seen before.  Nasa has confirmed the presence of over 5000 planetary entities around stars outside our solar system with the finding of 65 new planets, marking a new milestone in space exploration. The Nasa exoplanet archive has received 65 new candidates to…

Beginning in 2014, the Modi government recognised several “unsung heroes” who have made significant contributions to disciplines such as art, social work, public affairs, science and engineering, trade and industry, medical, literature, education, sports, and civil service.

Pushpa Kumari was ten years old when she made the life-changing choice to pursue Madhubani, a folk-art form passed down through the generations by female household members. Even though she inherited the art and the customs described in it, she never restricted herself to them. She gave it her contemporary spin and modernized it to keep up with the times. If you search for Madhubani artists in Bihar, you would likely come across one every few kilometres, but only a few, such as Pushpa, have given it a modern twist while keeping the cultural spirit. It’s no surprise that her…
