Scientists have expressed concerns about a study which proposed that stray dogs may have played a role in the origin of the novel coronavirus behind the COVID-19 pandemic, saying that pet owners may abandon their dogs because of these “speculative” findings which need experimental proof. The study, published earlier this month in the journal Molecular […]

A team of MIT researches has developed a specialized protein that has the ability to soak up the excessive immune response that occurs in severe cases for COVID-19. “The idea is that they can be injected into the body and bind to the excessive cytokines as generated by the cytokine storm, removing the excessive cytokines […]

Bulling is a shameful side of society that is still present on a large scale. Studies show that one out of every five people is a victim of bullying. An international team of neuroscientists recently scanned the brains of lifelong bullies and found something different. Christina Carlisi and her team at University College London carried […]

Ethylene Vinyl Acetate, or more commonly, EVA, is commonly used in thousands of appliances. While it has been dominating the global market by a large margin already, over the coming years, its utilization is to expand over fields of solar encapsulation and developing industries’ infrastructure. The product demand has risen over time and buyers are […]

As technologies advance further, more ways to help people are coming forward. A recent development in the field of technology will reportedly help us to detect cocaine consumption by examining fingerprints. Melanie Bailey from the University of Surrey in the UK has found a way to detect a trace of cocaine on human skin. The […]

Scientists from the UK and Germany have successfully recreated the voice of a 3,000-year-old mummy. The team of researchers first scanned the shape of the mummy’s vocal tract and printed a replica of it using a 3D printer. The replica was hooked up to an electronic larynx to recreate the voice of the mummy. Even […]

A cellulose membrane that can reduce the buildup of fibrotic tissue around cardiac pacemakers has been developed by ETH Zurich, Switzerland, scientists. The next experimental step is to test the protective membrane in patients. The material can reduce fibrotic build up and make subsequent surgical removal of implants much easier. So far, the pouch-like device […]

Astronomy-enthusiasts are in for a rare treat today as the Mercury journeying across the Sun will be clearly observable from the Earth today. A transit is when a planet or a satellite passes between the Sun and the Earth. The occurrence of Mercury passing through between the Earth and the Sun happens only a handful […]

The earth is facing life-threatening catastrophe mainly due to the unprecedented climate change. All-Around alertness globally has prompted scientists and environmentalists to explore ways and come up with a solution on how to fix this on a global level. In the arena of technology and new inventions, the scientists are trying their best to come […]

Geologist, Jonny Wu from the University of Houston, USA, has discovered a 50 million years ago a chain of volcanoes that lasted for 10 million years between Northeast Asia and Russia were forced into a period of dormancy. 10 million years later when the volcano revived the radiogenic isotopes within the magma were noticeably different.
