The researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US said that while most methods of removing carbon dioxide from a stream of gas required higher concentrations -- such as those found in the flue emissions from fossil fuel-based power plants -- the new method could suck out the gas even when it was present in very low concentrations.
Archeologists continue to find evidence of an asteroid or comet impact pertaining to this time period, the study noted.
This image presents many interesting facts about the secondary craters of different ages and origins in the lunar south polar region, the space agency said. According to ISRO, the image shows craters of vertical impact and oblique impact on the top-right and bottom-right, respectively.
US Space agency NASA has once again failed to trace Chandrayaan 2's Vikram lander on the lunar surface. A NASA spacecraft clicked photos of the landing site of Vikram earlier this month, but couldn't capture the lander.
Astronomers have found a massive galaxy, dating from the early universe, lurking in cosmic dust clouds -- an advance that may open the doors for discovering a new galaxy population type.
In a first, researchers have found that the dinosaur-killing meteorite that crashed into the Earth 66 million years ago may have instantly acidified the oceans by causing a release of excess sulphur into the atmosphere and the seas. The researchers, including those from Yale University in the US, said that the impact from the space rock pulverised sulphur-rich rocks, and caused the raining-out of sulphuric acid which may have led to increased ocean acidity.
On September 7, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) attempted a soft landing of Vikram on the uncharted lunar south pole, before losing communication with the lander.
"Our study shows that even during the briefest interactions, a person's speech patterns shape the way people perceive them, including assessing their competence and fitness for a job," said study researcher Michael Kraus, Assistant Professor oat the Yale University.
Government of India had approved ISRO's proposal for the first Indian Moon Mission, called Chandrayaan-1 in November 2003.
The National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), under Home Ministry, asked for the bids on July 8 which will be closed on November 8. The winner to provide AFRS will be announced on November 8.
An Indian researcher in Israel has designed a novel telescope system -- consisting of nanosatellites the size of milk cartons -- that can lead to low-cost, high-resolution images taken by cameras in space.
The Skin-On interface, developed by researchers at the University of Bristol in the UK in partnership with Telecomm ParisTech and Sorbonne University in France, mimics human skin in appearance as well as sensing resolution.
It is hoped that in the future the technique will lead to real-time information as stranding events happen.
A regular tea drinking habit contributes to the improved brain structure, making the organization of nerve cell networks more efficient, according to a study.
The researchers said that the salt ponds on Mars are similar to some found on the Earth such as those in a region called Altiplano near the Bolivia-Peru border.
As NASA astronauts Christina Koch and Jessica Meir emerged one by one, it marked the first time in a half-century of spacewalking that a woman floated out without a male crewmate.
A Mars lander’s digger is burrowing into the red planet again after hitting a snag seven months ago.
Earlier studies had shown that a specific brain sub-region called the ventrolateral subdivision of the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMHvl) contained cells involved in aggression and mating behaviours, the researchers said.
Chandrayaan-2's IIRS payload has acquired the first illuminated image of the lunar surface, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) said on Thursday. IIRS is designed to measure reflected sunlight from the lunar surface in narrow and continguous spectral channels.
The US space agency had earlier said its LRO had passed over the landing site of Vikram on September 17 and acquired a set of high-resolution images of the area.
