Scientists have discovered the first ever organism that eats viruses. It was revealed after scientists conducted experiments over the declining population of double-stranded DNA virus known as chlorovirus. The unique organism is the first known “Virovore” or an organism that feeds on viruses.
The experts in memory and neuroscience have developed an application that can enhance memory recall. The application is guided by neuroscience and is based on real brain functions that help in memory recall. It mimics a specific part of the human brain responsible for recording and preserving memories.
It is widely accepted that sleep is the most important aspect in the lives of all living organisms, not just humans. Our entire well being is completely dependent upon the 8 hours of sleep where our body recovers as it zones out for a while. We are going to discuss 12 scientifically proven tips to master your sleep to be more productive and successful in life.
An old dead NASA satellite will return back to earth tomorrow night after spending almost four decades in space. The 5,400-pound satellite will crash its home planet from where it took off in 1984. The satellite was sent to space to study how earth absorbs and radiates solar energy.
Our planet’s temperature is increasing at an alarming rate. Forests are shrinking, floods are getting frequent, animals are getting extinct, and the glaciers are vanishing day by day. A latest report has revealed shocking figures as it claims that 83% or two-third of the world’s glaciers are projected to disappear from the surface by the end of this century.
In 2020 alone, Astronomers have managed to discover more than 200 new planets. All the newly discovered planets are outside of our solar system. The search for a planet similar to Earth has been underway for decades, although methods and technology for planet discovery have been evolving with time.
Asteroids are normal as our earth moves around in space. The moment an asteroid comes in contact with earth’s atmosphere, it tends to melt away, due to friction. But NASA has claimed to have detected an asteroid heading towards earth on Christmas day. As you read, an asteroid is advancing towards earth with the speed of 25,028 km/h.
Researchers at the University of Tokyo in Japan have created a synthetic DNA molecule that resembles a hairpin that can target and destroy cancer cells. The new artificial DNA kills its targeted cancer cells in a new way. The method will reduce the adverse effects of the immune system triggered through previous procedures.
After spending four years on the surface of the Red planet, NASA’s Mars insight lander is about to turn off. The amount of dust covering the lander’s solar panels has been causing its power levels to decrease for the past several months. Although NASA previously warned that InSight was not responding properly as it couldn’t respond to signals from Earth.
Recent research has revealed that scientists are trying to create male contraceptives. Birth control and Contraceptives has mostly revolved around women, with men mostly excluded from the discussion. But the hunt is on, for male contraceptives, as evident from the recent study.
The scientists released an image that shows a black hole in the process of completely destroying a celestial body. More than halfway across the known universe, astronomers have observed a black hole ripping apart a star that got too near to it. One of just four instances, and the first since 2011, of a black hole being seen ripping apart a passing star happened in this instance.
We, as the inhabitants of a solar system of our own, have never given a thought if there’s any other plenary system beyond ours. A new mysterious planetary, that is 90 light-years away, has just been discovered by scientists. But this solar system is unlike ours. The research was published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, a leading astronomy journal.
