Washington, Jun 1 (IANS): Mission officials at NASA and Boeing said they have detected

The Neanderthals used the dark, sticky substance distilled from the bark of birch trees to hold their tools in place.

A theoretical study explores the excited state behavior of triazole pyrimidine group fluorophores, revealing insights into their fluorescence mechanisms and the absence of excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT). The findings contribute to the un…

Using X-rays to see inside the human body has revolutionised non-invasive medical diagnostics. However, the dose of X-rays required for imaging is far higher than background levels, due to the poor performance of the detector materials currently avai

A new study has found that climate warming could cause plankton microbes present in the oceans, to turn from carbon sinks into carbon emitters

Mo Gawdat said AI is more likely to cause disruption to "the entire planet" than climate change in the next two years, in The Diary of a CEO episode.

Scientists have been peering into the depths of space, looking right back at the early days of the universe, and they’ve found something very interesting indeed. Researchers using the James Webb Space Telescope have come across a discovery that indicates some…

Scientists at CERN have discovered evidence of the Higgs boson decaying into a Z boson and a photon, providing indirect evidence of particles beyond those predicted by the Standard Model, which could one day even change our understanding of how everything in …

Genomic research could bolster conservation initiatives aimed at protecting the endangered species. Scientists still have much to uncover about the unique, scaly mammal known as the pangolin, a creature that bears resemblance to an aardvark and an armadillo. …

Limitless energy? Scientists discover way to generate electricity out of thin air

A typical human cell is metabolically active, roaring with chemical reactions that convert nutrients into energy and useful products that sustain life. These reactions also create reactive oxygen species, dangerous by-products like hydrogen peroxide which dam…

Scientists have discovered a new species of mosasaur, a sea-dwelling lizard from the age of the dinosaurs, with strange, ridged teeth unlike those of any known reptile. Along with other recent finds from Africa, it suggests that mosasaurs and other m

Researchers reveal the hydrothermal activity of "petit-spot" volcanoes using samples obtained from 5.7km (3.5 miles) underwater—the deepest known to date. Underwater volcanism on the Earth's crust are active contributors of many different elements to the ocea…

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists have created the first detailed temperature map of exoplanet WASP-18 b, and identified water vapor in its extremely hot atmosphere. These findings are providing valuable insights into the planet's formation, su…

Researchers are using artificial intelligence to help them understand how large networks of interconnected human genes control the function of cells, and how disruptions in those networks cause disease.

The effort, called the Breakthrough Listen Investigation for Periodic Spectral Signals (BLIPSS), is a collaboration between Cornell, the SETI Institute research organization and Breakthrough Listen, a $100 million initiative to search for advanced extraterres…

Ever since the discovery of the two-dimensional form of graphite (called graphene) almost twenty years ago, interest in 2D materials and their special physical properties has skyrocketed. Famously, graphene was produced by exfoliating bulk graphite using stic…

WASHINGTON,  A TEAM of astrophysicists and citizen scientists have identified a trio of exoplanets, which may have been some of the last planets that NASA’s retired Kepler space telescope observed over its nearly decade-l
