Ten uses of enzymes in medicine and healthcare
Enzymes, referred to as “magic chemicals” by doctors, are proteins that act as catalysts, which means they speed up chemical reactions. They are found everywhere — from the bottom of…

Top 5 discoveries of the year 2020 are sure to amaze you even amidst the grave pandemic. The year 2020 got marked as a dark spot in the history of…
New population of blue whales producing entirely distinct songs, found living in the Indian Ocean. Scientists say that these whales lived there for a while, but were not widely acknowledged…
The first periodic radio signals have been detected for the first time that comes from an unknown source. These Fast Radio Bursts come from as far as 500 million light-years away, a distance that stretches beyond our galaxy. And astronomers have assigned 180916.J0158+65 as the name of the source. Now, astronomers and scientists observed the source for 500 days and came to a concrete 16-day pattern. These first periodic radio signals ever recorded have a four-day slot of radio waves occurring randomly.
Scientists also use the simulation method to find out the fluctuating dynamics of ice-sea relationships over the past 40,000 years. Now, during the past 20,000 years, the ice sheets of Antarctica have gone through various episodes of quick melting. Scientists call these various melting phases “meltwater pulses”. They maintain that the Antarctica ice sheet is seemingly stable even after having undergone myriad changes. Ice sheets must have weighed much more than 26 million gigatons and would have spread beyond 14 million square kilometers, as they are now.
A promising method developed by the students at the MIT, claiming to sift the primeval wavelets has already been published in the Physical Review Letters. In contrast to the existing method that played around the guessing of gravitational waves emanating from various types of cosmic collisions, the new method aims at percolating the constant non-random patterns from the gravitational-wave data and leaving behind the larger chunk of gravitational noise. The newer method uses simulation technique that utilized 400 seconds of gravitational wave sets.
