The never-ending discussion over whether dinosaurs were cold-blooded like modern reptiles or warm-blooded like modern birds have been rejuvenated by a new study. Researchers from Yale University used a new technique to analyze the arrangement of atoms in dinosaur eggshells to conclude that the mothers who carried the eggs had warmer body temperatures than their […]

The human immune system has the potential to fight against the harmful infection and using an effective treatment can help the immune system to fight against the cancer tumors as well. Researchers from Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology in Berlin have genetically modified the tuberculosis medicine BCG so that it can boost the immune […]

MIT researchers have developed a framework to divert an incoming asteroid, considering asteroid’s mass and momentum, its proximity to a gravitational keyhole, and the amount of warning time that scientists have of an impending collision. Scientists have used this method on near-Earth asteroids Apophis and Bennu which is the target of OSIRIS-REx, an operational NASA […]

Astronomers have been astonished by the discovery of molecular oxygen in another galaxy for the first time outside the Milky Way.The discovery was made in the Markarian 231 galaxy, 561 million light-years from Earth. The findings are notable since the galaxy is powered by a quasar, a highly active supermassive black hole.The researchers used the […]

Low oxygen levels in the heart have been known to be responsible for life-threatening arrhythmias and even sudden death. However, the reason was still uncertain. Now, a new study sheds light on the underlying mechanism of this dangerous heart disorder. The study revealed that, at a low oxygen level, a protein called small ubiquitin-like modifier […]

A team of materials scientists from Northwestern University have developed a new method to observe the dynamic motion of atoms in atomically thin 2D materials such as graphene and borophene. The thin nature of 2D materials makes them highly sensitive to external environments and affect their stability and reliability in electronic devices. Using a high-resolution, […]

Studying the mammalian brain is one of the most complex task and the devices to monitor the activities of individual neurons are still unavailable. Thankfully, researchers from the University of Arizona, George Washington University and Northwestern University have created tiny wireless, battery-free devices that use light to monitor the activities of individual neurons. The device […]

MIT researchers have developed a “sensorized” skin, made with kirigami-inspired sensors, that gives soft robots greater awareness of the motion and position of their bodies. The newly developed soft sensors are conductive silicone sheets cut into kirigami patterns and have “piezoresistive” properties i.e they can change in electrical resistance when stretched. When the sensor distorted […]
