A recent study led by Dr Wen Zhou from the Chinese Academy of Sciences reveals that humans can detect changes in smells much faster than previously believed. Participants demonstrated the ability to discern the order of scents with impressive accuracy, even at intervals as short as 40 milliseconds. This finding suggests that our olfactory system is...

A recent study reveals the first successful use of radioactive ion beams to treat tumours in mice. Scientists utilised carbon-11 ions to pinpoint treatment locations, offering real-time tracking capabilities. This advancement could lead to more precise cancer therapies, especially for tumours located near sensitive areas.

Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun have been awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discovering microRNA and its crucial role in gene regulation. Their groundbreaking research, which began with tiny worms, has uncovered how microRNAs regulate protein production, impacting areas such as cancer, eye diseases, and even microbial interac...

A recent study by astrophysicists suggests that technologically advanced alien civilizations could self-destruct through climate change within just 1,000 years. The researchers, inspired by human energy use patterns, found that even renewable energy sources contribute to planetary overheating due to inevitable heat loss. The second law of thermodyn...

HSFC Bengaluru was formed as a new Centre in ISRO to realise the vision of Indian human space flight programme.

Scientists announced on Thursday a milestone in neurobiological research with the mapping of the entire brain of an adult fruit fly, a feat that may provide insight into brains across the animal kingdom, including people.

Indian scientists found that during the COVID-19 lockdown of 2020, lunar temperatures dropped by 8-10 Kelvin. The study, published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, analysed data from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, comparing six sites on the Moon’s surface between 2017 and 2023. The temperature drop is lin...

This study, published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, underscores the link between Earth and the Moon.

In May 2024, Earth experienced a magnificent geomagnetic storm, leading to dazzling auroras across the skies. During this event, NASA’s BioSentinel spacecraft collected essential data on solar radiation while orbiting the Sun over 30 million miles away. This research is vital for understanding the effects of radiation in deep space, especially as...

Led by Bond University researchers, the review analyzed 18 studies, confirming the presence of microplastics and nanoplastics in 54% of urine samples, 70% of kidney samples, and 68% of bladder cancer cases.

A new study proposes a surprising theory that pollen allergies may have contributed to the extinction of woolly mammoths. The researchers argue that an increase in pollen during the post-Ice Age period could have affected the animals' ability to communicate and reproduce. This inability to breed, combined with environmental changes and human activi...

A recent study published in the journal Neuron reveals insights into why both monkeys and humans struggle under pressure. Researchers found that stress impairs brain signals crucial for movement execution when faced with high rewards. The study, involving monkeys completing tasks for water, demonstrated that performance declined when potential rewa...

Researchers have unearthed a trove of artefacts, including bronze and flint arrowheads, swords, wooden clubs, and human remains.
