A long-standing partner of Eskom Expo Bloemfontein, the Matsheliso Maths and Science Institute, successfully hosted a District Expo on 30 May 2026.

Thank you to the dedicated Selectors for providing valuable feedback and guidance to learners, and congratulations to the brilliant young scientists who confidently showcased their research projects and innovative ideas.

We appreciate everyone who contributed to making the event a success and look forward to seeing many of these projects progress to the next stage of the competition.

When some lizards lose their tails, they might regenerate new ones. But what happens to the old tail?

Whereas a castoff lizard tail quickly decomposes, this isn’t the case for the castoff tube feet of the sea cucumber, Psolus fabricii.

In the latest #SciencePodcast🎙️, Ph.D. student Sara Miller Jobson describes how these “living” limbs healed after amputation and then survived for more than 3 years in just seawater.

She's got a lot going on.

Active spiral galaxy Messier 88, seen by @NASAHubble, is located about 63 million light-years away in the constellation Coma Berenices. It is home to a supermassive black hole 100 million times larger than the Sun & is part of the Virgo Cluster. https://t.co/87XXGJIgjY

It is #WorldBicycleDay.

Every time you choose a bicycle, you choose:

🌍 A stronger planet
🛣️ Less congested streets
🏥 A more accessible transport
💪 A healthier body and mind

Drop a ❤️ if you ride a bike too!

Polar ice is melting at an accelerating rate. Sea levels are rising. Ocean systems are shifting.

The way we respond has never been more urgent.

60 years ago today, Surveyor I made a three-point soft landing on the Moon—the first soft landing for America's space program—AND accomplished on its first try. Over the next 6 weeks it returned more than 11,000 images of the lunar surface including this one featuring its shadow.

The mission was one of the great successes of NASA's early lunar program.

More than 1 billion Africans walk or cycle every day. Yet many roads remain unsafe for those who use them.

Floods are becoming more frequent, more intense and are impacting more lives. 

Resilience is no longer optional. It must shape how we plan, invest, and respond to protect lives and support economies.

Of all animal senses, magnetism may be the most mysterious.

Migratory birds, sea turtles, and other animals can detect Earth’s magnetic field to navigate vast distances. A new study suggests homing pigeons may do this using iron-rich immune cells in their livers that act like a biological compass.
