The Hubble Space Telescope, which is now celebrating 30 years of stunning discoveries, has yielded 1.4 million observations and provided data that astronomers around the world have used to write more than 17,000 peer-reviewed scientific publications
Patients with COVID-19 who were on a regimen of the drugs hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin experienced cardiac abnormalities, according to a study which recommends the continuous monitoring of heart beat rhythms in infected people with underlying health conditions.
Among the investigations on which the space station crew performed work during the week of April 20 included "Food Acceptability" which examines the effect of repetitive consumption of the somewhat limited selection of foods available during spaceflight.
Amid COVID-19 restrictions, the historic SpaceX mission to launch two NASA astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) on May 27 is set to be a much quieter affair than it would have been
Researchers in France aim to test if nicotine patch could help prevent COVID-19 after initial observations showed that an ingredient in tobacco, probably nicotine, could put smokers at a lower risk of getting the disease.
VITAL is designed to treat patients with milder symptoms, thereby keeping the nation's limited supply of traditional ventilators available for patients with more severe COVID-19 symptoms.
The first human trial in Europe of a coronavirus vaccine has begun in Oxford.
According to the study, published in the journal Science Advances, the researchers from Harvard University looked for clues in ancient rocks (older than 3 billion years) from Australia and South Africa and found that these plates were moving at least 3.2 billion years ago on the early Earth.
Most children with COVID-19 may exhibit only mild symptoms, if any, requiring only supportive care, with good prognosis and full recovery possible within one to two weeks, according to a review of studies, which presents the clinical manifestation of the disease in the young people.
If aerosols are concentrated near the surface, an optical depth of 1 or above indicates very hazy conditions. An optical depth, or thickness, of less than 0.1 over the entire atmospheric vertical column is considered "clean."
As researchers and health experts across the world are sparing no effort to tackle the deadly coronavirus, Swiss scientists have developed an optical biosensor which according to them can quickly and reliably detect SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
One of the human body's main defences against viral infections may be helping the novel coronavirus infect more cells, according to a study which can help understand why some people are more susceptible than others to COVID-19.
Researchers have found an earlier origin to the human language pathway in the brain, an advance that pushes back its evolutionary origin by at least 20 million years.
Elon Musk-led SpaceX has conducted a static fire test of its Falcon 9 rocket which is scheduled to launch the next fleet of 60 Starlink satellites in a mission called "Starlink 6" on April 23.
Scientists have discovered a six-planet system -- a "super-Earth" and five "mini-Neptunes" which display an exceptionally regular spacing, hinting at how the system may have formed. The planets revolving the star HD 158259 in the Draco constellation were found using the SOPHIE spectrograph.
A new Earth-like planet Kepler-1649 has been discovered by NASA's Long dead Kepler Space Telescope. The planet revolves around its star in Goldilocks zone and has the possibility of harnessing life.
French Nobel prize winning scientist Luc Montagnier has sparked a fresh controversy by claiming that the SARS-CoV-2 virus came from a lab, and is the result of an attempt to manufacture a vaccine against the AIDS virus.
In a bid to find solutions that can address shortage of critical medical equipment like ventilators in tackling the COVID-19 crisis, the US space agency has joined forces with a task force in California to build medical devices to help patients infected with the disease.
As coronavirus positive cases continue to surge across countries, scientists at Oxford University are likely to begin human trials of a potential vaccine for coronavirus next week.
NASA astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley will fly on SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft, lifting off on a Falcon 9 rocket at 4:32 p.m. EDT May 27, from Launch Complex 39A in Florida.
