AI takes centre stage at Science Fiesta 2025
The two-day event – being organised by the Indian Science Forum (ISF) – is focused on the theme of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The fiesta will feature a range of competitions, exhibitions, quizzes, and workshops aimed at sparking scientific curiosity and fostering innovation among students.
A major highlight will be the felicitation and award ceremony for the 8th Sastra Pratibha Contest winners, a prestigious science talent competition that has become a key part of ISF's educational outreach. The event will be attended by H E G V Srinivas, Ambassador of India to Oman, as the chief guest.
Adding further prominence to the festival, Prof Dr Monojit Choudhury, a leading authority in Natural Language Processing (NLP) from the Mohamed Bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI), Abu Dhabi, will deliver the keynote address. An exclusive interactive session with Prof Choudhury for students is also scheduled for May 23.
Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, Dr J Retnakumar, Coordinator of ISF, said, 'We are considering extending the event to include other schools as well. We have already received proposals from Omani schools, and we welcome this opportunity.'

‘Ghost plume' found beneath Oman harmless
The huge column of hot rock, known as a mantle plume or a 'ghost plume', which rises from deep inside the earth beneath Eastern Oman, has been identified by experts as harmless, not causing any volcanoes or obvious signs on the surface like other plumes around the world. 'This discovery of the long-hidden plume of magma beneath Oman's Salma Plateau is important because it shows that there may be many more hidden plumes beneath continents, quietly shaping landscapes and even plate movements without creating volcanoes,' said Harith al Kubaisy, Research Assistant at the Earthquake Monitoring Centre, Sultan Qaboos University (SQU). Scientists explain that these ghost plumes may carry heat from deep inside the earth to the surface, affecting how the planet cools down and evolves over time. This finding changes the way we think about the Earth's inner workings, as not all plumes are visible at the surface. 'Normally, mantle plumes are detected when they melt rocks and create volcanoes, like those seen in Hawaii or Iceland. But the Dani plume, as scientists have named it, stays hidden because Oman's crust is very thick (over 100 kilometres deep), preventing the hot material from reaching the surface to form volcanoes,' he added. First detailed in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters, the finding reveals a new class of deep mantle plumes that shape continents silently, without the typical signature of surface volcanoes. While plumes typically leave a visible volcanic trail — like Hawaii's island chain—the Dani plume's evidence may have been erased by subduction activity in the nearby Makran zone. Still, researchers say this finding opens the door to discovering more 'ghost' plumes, particularly in regions with similar thick crusts, such as Africa. As seismic technologies advance, more silent subterranean forces shaping Earth's history may come to light. Researchers from different countries used data from earthquakes around the world, collected by a network of seismic stations in Oman and the UAE, to create 3D images of the Earth's interior. These images showed a large area where seismic waves travel more slowly, indicating the rock is hotter than its surroundings. The plume rises from more than 660 kilometres underground all the way up towards the crust. 'Although there is no volcanic activity linked to the Dani plume, scientists have found other signs of its existence. The land above it is slightly higher than surrounding areas, suggesting the hot plume is pushing the ground upwards from below, which is called dynamic uplift. They also noticed special changes in deep underground layers, which occur when temperatures are higher,' Al Kubaisy said. The study has also found that this hidden plume may have affected the movement of the Indian tectonic plate about 40 million years ago. The plume's heat and rising flow could have nudged the plate, slightly changing its direction as it moved towards Asia.

India, Poland, Hungary make spaceflight comeback with ISS mission
CAPE CANAVERAL: A US commercial mission carrying crew from India, Poland and Hungary blasted off to the International Space Station on Wednesday, taking astronauts from these countries to space for the first time in decades. Axiom Mission 4, or Ax-4, launched from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 2:31 am, with a brand-new SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule riding atop a Falcon 9 rocket. The vehicle is scheduled to dock with the orbital lab on Thursday at approximately 11:00 GMT and remain there for up to 14 days. Aboard the spacecraft were pilot Shubhanshu Shukla of India; mission specialists Slawosz Uznanski-Wisniewski of Poland and Tibor Kapu of Hungary; and commander Peggy Whitson of the United States, a former NASA astronaut who now works for the company Axiom Space, which organizes private spaceflights, among other things. The last time India, Poland or Hungary sent people to space, their current crop of astronauts had not yet been born — and back then they were called cosmonauts, as they all flew on Soviet missions before the fall of the Iron Curtain. Shukla became the first Indian in space since Rakesh Sharma, an air force pilot who traveled to the Salyut 7 space station in 1984 as part of a Soviet-led initiative to help allied countries access space. India's space agency, ISRO, sees this flight as a key stepping stone toward its own maiden crewed mission, planned for 2027 under the Gaganyaan programme, meaning "sky craft" in Hindi. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi hailed the successful launch of the Ax-4 space mission. "He (Shukla) carries with him the wishes, hopes and aspirations of 1.4 billion Indians. Wish him and other astronauts all the success!" he wrote on X. All three countries are footing the bill for their astronauts. Hungary announced in 2022 it was paying $100 million for its seat, according to India and Poland have not disclosed how much they are spending. "We've got this! Poland has reached for the stars," Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on X, alongside a video himself watching the launch on a screen at the Copernicus Science Centre in Warsaw. "Who knows how many future Polish astronauts watched Slawosz's launch with me? Everyone was very excited and very proud," Tusk said in another post, which included a photo of him seated next to several children at the science centre. The Ax-4 launch comes after multiple issues delayed the mission, originally slated for early June. It also follows an explosive online spat between US President Donald Trump and SpaceX chief Elon Musk, the world's richest person and, until recently, Trump's ally and advisor. — AFP

Scientists detect Earth's first ‘ghost plume' deep beneath Oman
MUSCAT: A team of international scientists has discovered what they believe is the first confirmed "ghost plume" — a hidden column of superheated rock rising from deep within the Earth's interior — beneath the eastern region of Oman. Unlike most mantle plumes, which are typically associated with volcanic activity at the surface, this newly identified plume shows no visible signs above ground, making it exceptionally difficult to detect. The research, recently published in the prestigious journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters, offers evidence of the plume, which the scientists have named the 'Dani Plume'. According to the scientists, the discovery could reshape how geologists understand the inner workings of our planet, particularly beneath continents where such features have long been suspected but rarely confirmed. Mantle plumes are hot, buoyant upwellings of rock that originate from the boundary between Earth's core and mantle — roughly 2,890 kilometers beneath the surface. As these plumes rise, they often create volcanoes and dramatic surface changes due to melting rock pushing through the crust. However, in continental regions, the thick and rigid lithosphere can prevent this molten material from reaching the surface, effectively hiding the plume from view. According to the journal, the Dani plume is an exception because, while it leaves no volcanic signature on the surface, its presence is revealed through detailed seismic analysis. When earthquake-generated waves passed through the region, scientists noticed they slowed down, indicating the presence of hotter and softer rock beneath Oman. Additional data from field measurements and computer models confirmed thermal and structural anomalies deep within the Earth. The plume is estimated to be between 200 and 300 kilometers in diameter, and up to 300°C hotter than the surrounding mantle. Although small in size, it appears to have been active for tens of millions of years. In fact, the researchers suggest it may have influenced the movement of the Indian tectonic plate around 40 million years ago and could still be affecting surface elevations in Oman today. 'This study presents interdisciplinary evidence for the existence of a 'ghost' plume beneath eastern Oman,' the researchers wrote, emphasizing that while no single piece of data was conclusive on its own, together the findings formed a robust picture. Importantly, the study also suggests that more heat may be escaping from Earth's core than previously thought. This could require scientists to revise their models of how the Earth's interior cools and evolves over time — and reassess how heat-producing elements are distributed within the planet. 'These findings have broader implications for understanding Earth's thermal and geological evolution,' the authors noted, adding that detecting hidden plumes could help scientists better model plate tectonics, ancient climate change, and even the origins of life. The scientific team comprised: Simone Pilia (Kind Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals – Saudi Arabia), Giampiero Iaffaldano (University of Parma – Italy), D Rhodri Davies (Australian National University), Mohammad Ismaiel (Indian Institute of Science Education and Research – India), Paolo A Sossi (ETH Zurich – Switzerland), Scott Whattam (King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals), Dapeng Zhao (Tohoku University – Japan), and Hao Hu (Zhejiang University of Water Resources and Electric Power – China.
