Earth is inching closer to a supermassive black hole in the Milky Way galaxy at 7 km per second, a study has found out. According to a map issued by Japanese radio astronomy project VERA, earth in the past 35 years has travelled some 1,900 light years and is now sitting at a distance of 25,800 light years from the black hole.
A team led by an Indian-origin scientist in the US has developed a new system that can extract oxygen and hydrogen fuel from the salty water on Mars, and may radically change the logistics of future missions to the Red Planet and beyond.
Scientists have assessed 750 samples from important COVID-19 super spreading clusters in Austria and found that on average 1,000 infectious virus particles are transmitted from one infected person to the next.
The novel coronavirus may enter the brain of people through the nose, according to a study published on Monday that may help explain some of the neurological symptoms observed in COVID-19 patients, and inform diagnosis and measures to prevent infection.
Lunar eclipse is a celestial event that occurs when the Moon moves into the Earth's shadow. There are three types of lunar eclipses - total, partial, and penumbral.
Lunar Eclipse 2020: The final lunar eclipse or Chandra Grahan of the year 2020 will take place on November 30. This will be the fourth 'Upachhaya' or penumbral lunar eclipse of the year and will occur on Kartik Purnima.
Researchers have developed a computational model of a human lung cell which has been used to understand how SARS-CoV-2, the virus behind Covid-19 disease, uses the host to survive, and to enable drug predictions for treating the virus.
Researchers have revealed that Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machines -- the existing medical treatment -- are saving lives of patients hospitalised with Covid-19.
Researchers have discovered a galaxy that has been managing to survive a black hole's hunger by continuing to birth new stars, about 100 Sun-sized stars a year.
Scientists have developed a new method for identifying single virus particles based on changes in electrical current when they pass through ultrasmall pores, an advance which they claim may lead to new rapid COVID-19 tests.
In preparation for the Artemis I launch next year, NASA has stacked the first piece of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket on the mobile launcher.
A research has found out a new link between cell damage in astronauts and geriatric-type health problems observed during space missions.
Get ready to watch the lunar last eclipse of the year this November. The Chandra Grahan will coincide with the auspicious Kartik Purnima. This will be the fourth lunar eclipse of the year 2020.
Researchers, including one from Indian-origin, stressed that materials, design and length of face masks are important to help slow the spread of Covid-19.
Chang’e 5 — named for the Chinese moon goddess — is the country’s boldest lunar mission yet. If successful, it would be a major advance for China’s space program, and some experts say it could pave the way for bringing samples back from Mars or even a crewed lunar mission.
One of the oldest vaccines for tuberculosis Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) is associated with a reduced possibility of contracting the COVID-19 virus, according to a new study.
A team of Indian-origin immunologists in the US has discovered a potential strategy to prevent life-threatening inflammation, lung damage, and organ failure in patients with Covid-19.
Smartwatches and other wearable devices that continuously measure vital signs can detect changes in the body up to nine days before COVID-19 symptoms appear, according to a study.
Although the genetic material of the novel coronavirus may still be detected in the respiratory or stool samples of COVID-19 patients for several weeks, no infectious virus particle was found beyond nine days of symptom onset, a new study says.
A nasal spray that can provide effective protection against the COVID-19 virus has been developed by researchers at the University of Birmingham, using materials already cleared for use in humans, the varsity said on Thursday.
