New Pterosaur Species ‘Bakiribu waridza’ Discovered from Fossilised Regurgitate

Rare “Dinosaur Vomit” Fossil Reveals 100-Million-Year-Old Flying Reptile

Scientists have identified a new species of flying reptile from an unusual fossil source—fossilised regurgitated material, often called “dinosaur vomit.” The specimen, estimated to be about 100 million years old, was recovered from the Araripe Basin in Brazil. The species has been named Bakiribu waridza and represents the first extinct animal scientifically described entirely from fossilised regurgitate.

Devon Island: Earth’s Mars-Like Landscape Used for Space Research

Scientists Study Devon Island to Prepare for Future Mars Missions

Scientists searching for ways to support human life on Mars are studying Devon Island, a remote Arctic region whose environment closely resembles the conditions of the Red Planet. Located in Nunavut, the island is the largest uninhabited island in the world. Its barren landscape, extreme cold and geographic isolation provide researchers with a natural laboratory for testing technologies and survival strategies intended for future missions to Mars.

Meta Acquires Moltbook, AI Agent Social Platform to Boost AI Research

Meta Strengthens AI Ambitions with Acquisition of Moltbook Platform

Meta Platforms has reportedly acquired Moltbook, a platform designed for interaction between artificial intelligence agents. The acquisition reflects the growing global competition among technology companies to secure advanced AI technologies and skilled researchers. Moltbook had earlier drawn attention within the technology community after Sam Altman humorously mentioned the platform while discussing the future potential of autonomous AI systems.

NASA’s DART Mission Alters Orbit of Asteroid System in Planetary Defence Test

DART Impact on Dimorphos Shows Strong Potential for Asteroid Deflection

A recent scientific analysis has shown that Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) produced a stronger effect than originally predicted. The spacecraft impact not only changed the motion of a small asteroid in a binary system but also caused a slight shift in the entire system’s orbit around the Sun. These findings highlight the potential of spacecraft impacts as an effective planetary defence strategy to protect Earth from dangerous asteroids.
