Antarctica harbors a large concentration of meteorites imbuing the icy continent with an unparalleled wealth of information on our solar system. However, these precious meteorites are rapidly disappearing from the ice sheet surface due to global warming, according to a new study.
Through a large-scale analysis, researchers have uncovered the ways in which consensual touch can benefit a person's physical and mental wellbeing.
Scientists are amazed at the discovery of a bristle worm with such sharp-seeing eyes that they can measure up to those of mammals and octopuses. The researchers suspect that these marine worms may have a secretive language, which uses UV light only seen by their own species. The advanced vision of such a primitive creature helps to finally settle an epic debate about the evolution of eyes.
Researchers found that when the adult talked and played socially with a 5-month-old baby, the baby's brain activity particularly increased in regions responsible for attention -- and the level of this type of activity predicted enhanced language development at later ages.
Scientists have developed an automated workflow that could accelerate the discovery of new pharmaceutical drugs and other useful products. The new automated approach could analyze chemical reactions in real time and identify new chemical-reaction products much faster than current laboratory methods.
Researchers have released Kilosort4, the newest version of a popular spike-sorting software that enables scientists to make sense of the mountains of data collected from recording the simultaneous activity of hundreds of neurons.
Half of all patients discharged from hospital after a heart attack are treated with beta-blockers unnecessarily, new study suggests.
Research groups have made a breakthrough in the field of hard disk drives (HDD) by demonstrating the feasibility of multi-level recording using a three-dimensional magnetic recording medium to store digital information. The research groups have shown that this technology can be used to increase the storage capacity of HDDs, which could lead to more efficient and cost-effective data storage solutions in the future.
Trial findings suggest that the less invasive approach to heart bypass surgery offers comparable safety and efficacy to established methods and that safety issues inherent to invasive catheterisation investigation can be replaced by a non-invasive technique using CT scan imaging and AI-powered blood flow analysis.
Captured by cutting-edge radio telescope technology, a chance reactivation of a magnetar -- the Universe's most powerful magnets -- has revealed an unexpectedly complex environment.
A new dataset bridging molecular information about the poplar tree microbiome to ecosystem-level processes has been released. The project aims to inform research regarding how natural systems function, their vulnerability to a changing climate, and ultimately how plants might be engineered for better performance as sources of bioenergy and natural carbon storage.
A diet with higher GI was significantly associated with higher risk of diabetes; GI’s association with diabetes was stronger among individuals with a higher Body Mass Index
On April 8, 1911, superconductivity was discovered by Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes. A quiz on superconductors
The publication discovered an investigation report in court documents which stated that the physicist had committed scientific misconduct.
With the increase in satellite launches, a new crisis has arisen for spacefaring nations: space debris. ISRO’s recent mission tackled this, leaving ‘zero orbital debris.’ Here’s a look at how and why this is significant.
Linking the right against climate change to Articles 21 and 14, Chief Justice Chandrachud said the rights to life and equality cannot be fully realised without a clean, stable environment
What has been the role of the transistor in the semiconductor revolution? What happens at an assembly and test plant? How has the semiconductor become smaller and smaller?
A recent study expanded the repertoire of genes we know to be involved in the processes driving pigmentation diversity
Proper identification of species and insights into their ecological roles are important to counter superstition and fear of bats, say wildlife biologists, who aim to bring about effective conservation strategies through training scholars in taxonomy, genomics, acoustics, and monitoring techniques
The number of molecular testing facilities in the country has increased from 5,090 in 2022 to 6,496 in 2023
