Humans are exposed to different types of radiation on a daily basis. Although most of these radiations are dangerous, some of them are actually not harmful. The deadliness of these radiations is not limited to humans as it also spreads across atmosphere. For this reason, radiation is often regarded as the modern killer that has…

In an attempt to save and preserve this endangered species, scientists from different fields of life have collaborated to monitor the population of Orangutans in the Bornean forests. An international team of conservationists, astrophysicists, and ecologists came together to introduce better ways of detecting orangutans in Borneo. According to a presentation at the Unifying Tropical…
Researchers developed a new technique that could produce difficult-to-make proteins, like spider silk, by taking advantage of engineered bacteria. The mechanical properties of some of the natural, protein-based substances put them in the same bracket as the best synthetic materials. The research presented at the American Chemical Society (ACS) on 2nd April 2019 explained that…
Researchers from the RIKEN Cluster for Pioneering Research used simulations to reveal that the photons emitted by long gamma-ray bursts actually originate in the photosphere. Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) were first discovered in 1967 but the logical explanation of this phenomenon remained a mystery for quite some time post-discovery. Years and years of research led scientists…
A collaboration between ESA and JAXA might reveal some amazing facts about Mercury. Mercury is the innermost planet of our solar system and has an orbital period of just 87.97 days around the Sun. Quite understandingly, the smallest planet has also the smallest orbital period among all its companions. Similarly, the axis of Mercury exhibits…
Scientists make some outstanding progress through a latest Lower Hybrid Current Drive experiment. In a breakthrough at MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC), researchers demonstrated how to overcome barriers to steady-state tokamak operation using microwaves. Seung Gyou Baek led a team of researchers which experimented with a Lower Hybrid Current Drive (LHCD) on MIT’s Alcator…
Theoretical Physicist Brian Greene explains supernovas and demonstrates how a star like ours eventually dies, and he also breaks a World Record. Invited on “The Late Show” with Stephen Colbert, Professor Brian Greene explains and also demonstrates in the following video the death of a star. Known for ‘String theory’ or ‘The Elegant Universe’ he…
Scientists want to create a “star in a jar” by discovering an efficient way of eliminating instabilities in fusion plasma. Replication of the physical process, fusion, that occurs naturally in stars has been investigated on Earth for decades. Scientists created Tokamak in an attempt to replicate the conditions found inside the Sun, on Earth. Confined…
D-threo-1-phenyl-2-decanoylamino-3-morpholino-1-propanol (D-PDMP) could bring a revolutionary change to the treatment of hair loss. Hair loss is becoming more and more common these days and that’s the reason why latest, more advanced techniques are introduced for hair transplant. Similarly, a massive increment in the cases of skin inflammation have taken place which urged the medical scientists…
An experiment involving slow-moving neutrons dealt a huge blow to the theory of Symmetron Field, which was considered a candidate for explaining the Dark Energy. Dark Energy is a strange form of energy which is spread anywhere and everywhere in space. According to the Standard Model of Cosmology, it contributes 68.3% of the total energy…
A massive step towards a method that will assist early detection of Genetic Mutation. The changes in genetic sequence are responsible for the diversity among organisms. The name given to that phenomenon is Genetic Mutation and these changes can occur at various levels. Scientists are trying very hard to develop detection methods, for mutation, that…
An international team of researchers have shown that Einstein’s insights into gravity hold true, even in extreme scenarios. Albert Einstein came up with a theory in 1905 which said that the laws of Physics are exactly the same for the observers who are either at rest or moving with uniform velocity. Similarly, the speed of…
The idea that drinking more coffee could lead to a longer life got a scientific support at the NCI. If you love coffee and can’t get enough of it, we have some good news for you as a recent study suggests that it could have a connection with a longer life. The findings of the…
A Quantum Experiment shows the world how time can be made to go backward. Quantum physics and Classical Physics seem to be at loggerheads. While one dismisses one fact, the other readily accepts it and surmises it to be true. In the quantum world, unlike in Classical Physics, particles can go through solid walls, be…
Humans might be able to fly as scientists continue their work on Zero Gravity. Zero gravity is the state in which there is no apparent force of gravity acting on a body, either because the force is locally weak, or because both the body and its surroundings are freely and equally accelerating under the force.…
Physicists discover Sterile Neutrinos, a potential candidate that might be the reason behind the Dark Matter, in a recent experiment called MiniBooNE. Neutrinos are tiny particles that are much smaller than atoms. They interact only through gravity and a weak subatomic force. The name ‘Neutrino’ comes from the facts that it is electrically neutral…
Tissues will be able to repair themselves on their own following a recent development. It has been a long-lasting mystery that how a single fertilized egg transforms into different organs like eyes and brain. A recent research did help the scientists to untangle this a bit as a half-human half-chicken embryo was created in a…
Uranium Enrichment is an exhaustive process that requires extraordinary funds and efficiency. Uranium is the key ingredient for building a nuclear weapon. Having said that, the perception that any kind of Uranium can be used for this purpose is not true. Only a specific type of the element can be used in nuclear bombs and…
According to the latest research, Music helps you to keep your blood pressure under control. It’s a common saying that music is the diet of our soul. The reason behind this is that it is aesthetically pleasing and relaxes your body and mind simultaneously. An amazing discovery added to its worth as it was concluded…
With the help of the following images, our brain creates the illusion of moving nebulae . All you have to do is look at the center of the first image for 20 seconds, then look at the nebula in the next image. If you ask us, it is one of the most beautiful optical illusions.…
Does it ever happened that when you drink a glass of water, to think it may be older than our planet? Well, a new study suggests that 50% of the Earth’s water might be older not only than the planet, but the Solar System itself. An experiment led by Ilse Cleeves, at the University of…
NASA’s Astronaut Scott Kelly talks about his body changes during his stay on International Space Station.
