NASA released an image Wednesday from the James Webb Space Telescope that was taken to see how its 18 hexagonal mirrors worked together for a single co-ordinated image of a star 1.6 million kilometres away from Earth. Officials said it worked better than expected.This image from the James Webb Space Telescope was taken in order to…Continue Reading
In a major breakthrough, Israeli scientists claim to have extended women’s fertility by successfully reversing the ageing mechanism in eggs using antiviral drugs.In humans, egg cells begin to accumulate damage to their genetic material when a woman is relatively young. Often by the time she is in her late- hirties, her eggs have accumulated so…Continue Reading
A team of researchers from India and the UK has unravelled the science behind the jets of plasma or spicules that constantly shoot up from the surface of the Sun and are then brought down by its gravity. The amount of energy and momentum that these spicules carry is of fundamental interest in solar and…Continue Reading
European scientists have taken a significant step closer to mastering a technology that could allow them to one day harness nuclear fusion, providing a clean and almost limitless source of energy, British officials said Wednesday.Fusion energy inside a reactorVideo from inside a reactor as European scientists set a world record for producing fusion energy. Though…Continue Reading
Ministry of Science & Technology ARCI Scientists develop energy-efficient method for hydrogen production with less carbon footprint Posted On: 10 FEB 2022 10:22AM by PIB Delhi Indian Scientists have developed a method to produce hydrogen with high purity (99.99%) from methanol-water mixture at ambient pressure and temperature that uses only one-third of the electrical energy…Continue Reading
A joint team of scientists from Institute of Bioinformatics and Applied Biotechnology and HCG Cancer centre have identified 114 genetic variants which cause oral cancer in humans. The study, published in the journal Frontiers in Oncology, has also revealed key genetic signatures that can predict survival in oral cancer patients with over 90 per cent…Continue Reading

BENGALURU: A group of Indian and international scientists have spotted what they’ve termed a “peculiar binary star that shows heartbeat but no pulsations” contrary to the norm of binary stars sporting both heartbeats as well as pulsations. This star — called HD73619 — is located in a cluster in Cancer constellation, one of the closest…Continue Reading

A chewing gum laced with a plant-grown protein serves as a “trap” for the SARS-CoV-2 virus, reducing viral load in saliva and potentially tamping down transmission, finds a new study.The researchers exposed saliva samples from Covid-19 patients to the ACE2 gum and found that levels of viral RNA fell so dramatically to be almost undetectable,…Continue Reading
