Scientists have identified a structure in host cells which the novel coronavirus likely uses to synthesise components that will be assembled into fully infectious viruses, an advance which may lead to the development of new drugs against COVID-19.
Scientists have developed a new puffy model for the shape of the Sun's heliosphere or the magnetic bubble that surrounds our solar system.
Researchers at the West Virginia Univerisity have discovered the 'Zombie cicadas'. These cicadas 'possessed' by a mind-controlling fungus drench spores that cause the same infection. Looking at this behaviour, the scientists nicknamed the cicadas as the "flying salt shakers of death".
Scientists have renamed some 27 human gene symbols over the past year or so to prevent Microsoft Excel from misreading them as dates, said a media report.
Scientists have found that severe COVID-19 does not solely result in a hyperactive immune system, but instead the body's defense response is caught in a continuous loop of activation and inhibition, an advance that may help develop better therapeutics to combat the deadly disease.
A 23-year-old student, K. Goutam Kumar, has developed a UV-E SAFE kit that helps in sanitising money, documents, files, and other belongings within a minute.
Researchers have spotted patches of penguin poop in new high-resolution satellite images of Antarctica. This discovery has revealed the presence of small emperor penguin colonies that were previously overlooked.
Scientists have discovered a Saturn-like exoplanet using a radio telescope for the first time. The detected planet is known as TVLM 513b. This particular planet has a similar mass to Saturn and an orbit analogous that is pretty similar to Mercury.
Scientists have developed a new framework to understand the dispersion of droplets of different sizes which are ejected as people breathe, findings that shed more light on the transmission pattern of diseases such as COVID-19.
The drug tocilizumab, which is used in the treatment of various forms of arthritis, can greatly shorten the time on ventilation and hospital stays for patients with severe COVID-19, according to a Swedish study.
Scientists and paleontologists have identified the first known cancer in a dinosaur. The researchers at McMaster University and the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) have reported the aggressive malignant bone cancer--osteosarcoma in the dinosaur's bone.
Plastic from used personal protective equipment (PPE) can and should be transformed into renewable liquid fuels, according to Indian researchers.
Despite recent reports of lower Covid-19 incidence among high-altitude populations, current data is insufficient to conclude that high altitude could protect against contracting the Coronavirus, say researchers.
Published in the journal Frontiers in Microbiology, the "most extensive" study ever carried out on SARS-CoV-2 sequencing drew from the analysis of 48,635 coronavirus genomes, which were isolated by researchers in labs all over the world.
Some researchers believed the event - which cooled the Earth by about 3 degrees Centigrade, a huge amount - was caused by an extraterrestrial impact with the Earth, such as a meteor collision.
Langsdorffia flowers, which is a parasitic plant, consists of flashy flowers and suckers. These screaming red flowers are intricate. Several parasitic plant experts call these flashy showpieces as Vampire plants.
Two NASA astronauts splashed down safely in the Gulf of Mexico Sunday for the first time in a commercially built and operated American crew spacecraft, returning from the International Space Station to complete a test flight that marks a new era in human spaceflight.
While the world is busy finding an effective cure and preventive shield against COVID-19, scientists have now discovered coronavirus’ weak spot. Researchers from Russia’s VECTOR State Research Centre of Virology and Biotechnology in Novosibirsk, Siberia, have discovered that ordinary water can help restrict the growth of the virus.
Scientists have found that moist heat treatment of N95 masks eliminates the novel coronavirus which causes COVID-19, an advance that could allow reuse of these scarce resources in hospitals and long-term care facilities.
Over 300-year-old notion that the human sperm swim like a snake towards eggs has been proved false. According to a new study, sperms roll around like an otter.
