Amid the novel coronavirus pandemic crisis, Canadian researchers will use a pioneering imaging technology -- called Mango, for its bright colour -- to develop coronavirus testing kits, says a new study.
NASA's ambitious 2024 return-to-moon mission has been delayed due to the global coronavirus outbreak. According to a Reuters report, NASA's Administrator Jim Bridenstine said the National Aeronautics Space Agency (NASA) was shutting down the Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans and the Stennis Space Center in nearby Hancock County, Mississippi, due to a rise in coronavirus cases in the region. NASA chief on Thursday ordered the temporary closure of two rocket production facilities after an employee tested positive for the respiratory illness, Reuters reported.
Coronavirus outbreak: study said the sequence data has shown that Chinese authorities rapidly detected the epidemic, and that the number of COVID-19 cases have been increasing because of human to human transmission after a single introduction into the human population.
NASA has selected proposals for four missions that would study cosmic explosions and the debris they leave behind, as well as monitor how nearby stellar flares may affect the atmospheres of orbiting planets.
The global fight against coronavirus has been given a boost by the scientific labs of United States where the first vaccine which has the potential to treat/cure coronavirus is now being tested on human beings. The first participant in a clinical trial for a vaccine to protect against the new coronavirus received an experimental dose on Monday, according to a government official.
Coronavirus can stay in a patient's respiratory system who has been infected by the deadly disease, for more than 30 days (5 weeks), according to a new study.
Astronomers have discovered 139 new trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) -- minor planets located in the far reaches of the solar system.
The new coronavirus can live in the air for several hours and on some surfaces for as long as two to three days, tests by U.S. government and other scientists have found.
A hypothesis by a theoretical physicist from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) states that "the earth, solar system, entire Milky Way and the few thousand galaxies closest to us move in a vast “bubble” that is 250 million light years in diameter, where the average density of matter is half as large as for the rest of the universe."
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) started to spread in late December 2019 at a seafood market in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China. At present, there is also no vaccine or treatment available to curb the coronavirus, and scientists suggest that it is still at least a year and a half away.
Researchers have found that the salad crop, red romaine lettuce, grown on board the International Space Station (ISS), is as nutritious as counterparts grown on the Earth, an advance that may help astronauts grow safe, fresh food during space missions.
It is not surprising that, like most professions in India, the field of science is very much male-dominated. However, several women, over the years, have made immense contributions to science, and have also inspired others to follow.

Some of the first animals on the Earth were connected by networks of thread-like filaments which may have been used for nutrition, communication or reproduction, the earliest evidence yet found of life being connected in this way, according to a study.
The rover's Mast Camera, or Mastcam, relied on its medium-angle lens to also produce a lower-resolution, nearly 650-million-pixel panorama that includes the rover's deck and robotic arm.
