What actually is Pluto? Is it a planet or just another trans-Neptunian object (dwarf planet)? The uncertainty over Pluto’s planethood is without a doubt one of the most flaring issues among researchers and space fanatics. Scientists have been...
A new theory says that Big Bang was a starting point of an anti-universe, a mirror image of the present universe. In anti-universe, time flows in the opposite direction and antimatter dominates. The Big Bang cosmology describes the history and...
Researchers have come up with next-generation metalenses made of metal nanoparticles and a polymer. It has the potential to replace conventional refractive lenses to realize optoelectronic devices and portable imaging systems. Tiny optical elements...
A new machine learning technique identifies links and patterns in the ocean that make sense. It reveals a total of 5 dynamic consistent regions that make up nearly 93.7% of the world’s ocean, along with their most dominant physical parameter...
A 71-year old woman in Scotland experiences very little fear and anxiety, and her wounds heal faster than usual. She has a specific genotype that decreases the gene activity considered to be responsible for anxiety and pain. We often hear stories...
Researchers develop a new pill to deliver oral doses of insulin. It may replace insulin injections that are used for type 1 diabetes. In tests in pigs, they successfully delivered up to 5 milligrams of insulin without any adverse effects. ...
Physicists accidentally found that classic formula of pi derived in the 17th century characterizes the hydrogen atom. Their derivation connects pure math with quantum physics. Originally defined as the ratio of the circumference of any circle to...
Researchers measure the pressure distribution inside a proton for the first time. The proton’s core, at its highest point, generates pressures of about 1035 pascals. They used a Lattice QCD approach to achieve this feat and performed...
New deep learning-based algorithm tracks and labels body parts of moving species using minimal training data. It doesn’t require any computational body model, time data and stick-figure. To understand the brain of any species, it’s...
Civil aviation has evolved quite rapidly from just a few ex-military planes flying passengers over relatively short distances after the Second World War to a complex network of flight paths, dedicated protocols, and a growing number of regional and...
Researchers build the first automated system to store and retrieve data in artificial DNA. They stored and then retrieved the 5-byte message ‘HELLO’. DNA-based system can store massive amounts of data in relatively less space and could...
Engineers develop a non-intrusive load monitoring system that scans several loads downstream. It uses the graphical platform and machine intelligence for real-time electromechanical system diagnostics. It’s well-suited for relatively small...
