Indian Scientists Create Genetically Modified Bacteria Capable of Mathematical Computation
Scientists from Kolkata’s Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics have genetically engineered bacteria that can perform calculations like addition and subtraction, as well as identify prime numbers. This breakthrough highlights the potential for bacterial biocomputers, using bacterial cells to perform computational tasks. Researchers believe these deve...

Climate Change Reason Not To Have Children? Here's Why It's Not That Simple
In 2009, statistician Paul Murtaugh and climate scientist Michael Schlax calculated that having just one child in a high-emitting country such as the United States will add around 10,000 tonnes of CO to the atmosphere. Thats five times the emission

Scientists Calculate the Risk of Someone Being Killed by Space Junk
Space debris has been known to cause injury and damage to property, even though no one is known to have died from an accident involving “space junk”. However, with the increasing number of satellites, rockets and probes being launched into space, researchers have investigated the risk of someone being killed by space debris. Here’s what they ...

Machine Learning Program for Games Helps Develop Algorithm for Molecular Modelling
The algorithm helps in modelling the properties of materials at the atomic and molecular level. It learned the calculation of force fields of nanosized clusters for each element, and gave a successful demonstration within record time.

Iran To Give "Calculated" Response To Nuclear Scientist Killing: Official
Iran will give a "calculated and decisive" response to the killing of its top nuclear scientist, said a top adviser to Iran's supreme leader, while a hardline newspaper suggested Tehran's revenge should include striking the Israeli city of Haifa.

New System Will Help Warn Of Falling Air Quality, Says Union Minister
Environment Minister Harsh Vardhan today said Indian scientists along with their counterparts from the US and Finland have developed a mechanism that will soon be able to forewarn depletion in air quality. The Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology in Pune, the India Meteorological Department and the meteorology centre in Noida will work together...

Dinosaurs Would Have Survived If Asteroid Hit Earth Elsewhere, Scientists Claim
A controversial new report suggests the K-Pg impact was an exceptionally unlikely shot. In a paper published Thursday in the journal Scientific Reports, a pair of researchers calculated the asteroid had little more than a 1-in-10 chance of triggering a mass extinction when it smacked into Earth.

Milky Way Dotted With 100 Million Black Holes: Study
There may be as many as 100 million black holes in the Milky Way galaxy, according to scientists, including one of Indian origin, who conducted a cosmic survey to calculate and categorise the enigmatic, dark objects.

Our Brain Performs Complex Math To Make Sense Of World
We may find it difficult to calculate complicated probabilities, but the brain constantly carries out complex mathematical computations without our awareness to make sense of the world, scientists say.

Your Blood Can Predict 10-Year Risk For Heart Disease: Study
Scientists have developed a new way to calculate a person's 10-year risk for heart disease by analysing their blood, a method which has greater precision than identifying traditional risk factors alone.

Scientists Use Satellite Data to Calculate Groundwater Levels
"It could be especially useful in agricultural regions, where groundwater pumping is common and aquifer depletion is a concern."

Intuition Helps Humans Beat Computers in Thorny Physics Game
Scientists in Denmark have found that people who played a game that simulated a complex calculation in physics sometimes did better than their silicon rivals.

One Shot or Two? Many Questions Unresolved in Ebola Vaccine Race
Scientists racing to develop vaccines against Ebola are trying to determine whether they can best fight the disease with a single injection or with two, a calculation that could determine how quickly and effectively a programme can be rolled out.
