A recent study by scientists in Germany have found the oldest evidence of life on land suggesting that life took birth on land as early as 3.2 billion years ago. The research led by Sami
For the first time, scientists have observed a weak atomic bond – in which an electron can grab and trap an atom – that was theorised 14 years ago. Researchers at Purdue University in the
The world’s largest and most sensitive cosmic ray monitor, located in India, has recorded a burst of galactic cosmic rays that indicates a crack in the Earth’s magnetic shield, which protects us from harmful radiation,
In endeavours to hunt down gamma-beam blasts, a square-shaped probe, dubbed "Little Bee" by Chinese scientists is currently searching for strongest explosion in the universe. The formal name of the probe, placed on Tiangong-2, is
A gathering of stargazers believe to have discovered an oldest known planet-shaping disk - a 45-million-year-old ring of gas and tidy that circles around a young star. Circumstellar disks around red dwarfs like this one
Offering a stunning look into the planet's climate, Nasa's Maven mission demonstrated an alternate Mars utilizing the shuttle's infrared camera catching the planet's bright shine. They include the first images of "nightglow" that can be
Authorities at West Australian beaches are all set to deploy drones for a three-month trial to help monitor shark activity and potentially spot other dangers such as rips and schools of bait fish, which attract
The fossils collected over a century ago by the Scientists helped in identifying a new species of extinct marine reptiles that lived during the age of dinosaurs. The newly identified species of British Ichthyosaur,
Scientists are using 'Martian gardens' to find which are the best plants that astronauts could grow during future manned missions. One major challenge for human journey to Mars will be determining how to pack enough
David Thouless, Duncan Haldane and Michael Kosterlitz, all three physicists from the United Kingdom, have won the prestigious Nobel Prize in Physics. The British-born scientists have been selected for work that "revealed the secrets
Greenland's ice sheet is melting at a much faster rate than previously thought, said scientists this week after discovering a hotspot beneath the Earth's crust that was distorting their calculations. As per a new study,
In a move to help NASA’s new Mars rover, a novel spectroscopic technique has been developed by MIT scientists. NASA’s Mars rover, to be launched in 2020, will find signs of present or former
Two Indian-origin MIT scientists from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have won prestigious award for their extensive inventions. Nasik-born Ramesh Raskar, an imaging scientist and inventor at MIT, has been awarded the $500,000 (Rs.3.3 cro
Scientists have discovered a new light-weight, conductive material which can convert body heat into electricity, and lead to T-shirts or arm bands that generate power for wearable electronics.
The scales of fish has the potential of becoming an instant source of green energy in future. A team of researchers at Jadavpur University in Kolkata has developed a biodegradable energy harvester from raw
Now the majority of dormant cancer cells will be destroyed with the combination of immunotherapy and chemotherapy that may help prevent cancer recurrence, says scientists. Researchers found that chemotherapy alone leads to two types
