Scientists have discovered potential target points on the genome of the novel coronavirus, an advance which they claim may lead to the development of new treatments for the deadly disease.
Scientists have predicted a surge in HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria deaths in low- and middle-income countries due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but add that this toll can be reduced by prioritising the most critical services, such as timely diagnosis and treatment for these diseases.
Following the February 9 launch, the Solar Orbiter had made its first close pass of the Sun in mid-June. The mission had turned on all 10 of its instruments together for the first time. This flyby captured the closest images ever taken of the Sun.
A 'monster' star that was over 2 million times brighter than the sun disappeared in 2019. A study published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society has included shocking information about the star.
Scientists have demonstrated that two small, stable antibody variants derived from the South American mammals llamas can neutralise the novel coronavirus in lab-cultured cells, an advance which may lead to the development of new therapeutics against COVID-19.
The U.S., for its part, is dispatching a six-wheeled rover the size of a car, named Perseverance, to collect rock samples that will be brought back to Earth for analysis in about a decade.
Hubble space telescope has captured the mesmerizing 'fluffy' galaxy called NGC 2775, which is located 67 million light-years. The spiral pattern shown by the galaxy in this image is striking because of its delicate, feathery nature.
NASA is all set to reveal the mysteries of Earth's twin planet - Venus.

Experts from Harvard College in partnership with the Black Hole initiative have raised the possibility that the orbital evidence for Planet 9 could be the result of a missing link in the decades-long puzzle of dark matter.
Comet NEOWISE is now visible from Earth and will remain visible for the next 20, given weather permits sky-watchers once in a lifetime opportunity. Comet NEOWISE which is visible now and can be viewed via naked eyes, will not be visible after this current period for over 7000 years.
NASA and launch provider United Launch Alliance (ULA) announced on Sunday that NASA’s Mars 2020 rover, Perseverance, and its Martian helicopter sidekick, Ingenuity, were mated with the Atlas V 541 rocket that will kick off the seven-month journey to the Red Planet.
e-ROSITA X-ray telescope has revealed a new map of the entire sky. The map which was released on June 19, is based on data from the first full scan of the sky made by the telescope which was launched in July 2019.
A recent experiment in mice suggested that immune checkpoint therapies can get a boost if combined with other drugs targeting myeloid-derived suppressor cells, or MDSCs. These cells reach unusually high levels in people with cancer. Checkpoint therapies have helped thousands of people with some incurable cancers
Comet NEOWISE or C/2020 F3, a comet discovered by NASA on March 27, from July 14 onwards, will be clearly visible in the north-western sky. It will be visible after sunset for around 20 minutes for the next 20 days.
Working memory is the psychological process of holding information in the mind for a brief period of time - typically, just seconds. The amount of information working memory can hold briefly -- its capacity -- is predictive of many mental abilities such as intelligence, comprehension, and learning.
An unexpected class of astronomical objects in space has been spotted by a team of researchers, led by astrophysicist Ray Norris of Western Sydney University in Australia. According to the researchers, the objects are unlike anything seen before and were spotted with the help of Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder telescope, out of which three of them have bright rings around the circular object.
The creature, which predated dinosaurs and flying pterosaurs, was just shy of 4 inches (10 centimeters) tall, according to a study published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
This rare dinosaurs grown dromaeosaurids ranged from 6 to 9 feet. This baby would have been the size of a small puppy, much too young to migrate. The bone fragment belonged to a juvenile dinosaur from the dromaeosaurid family of predatory dinosaurs "closely related to birds."
Differences in lung physiology and immune function in children could be why they are more often spared from severe illness associated with COVID-19 than adults, say researchers.
NASA has selected four US small businesses to develop a range of technologies for sustainable exploration of the Moon under the Artemis programme which aims to land the first woman and next man on the lunar surface in 2024.
