The dosage for this treatment is given every year but if given six months, it can be even more effective. Trachoma is the leading cause of blindness and currently, the dosage […]

Discovery of a plant-eating dinosaur in Antarctica

Discovery of a plant-eating dinosaur in Antarctica For the first time, the presence of large bodied herbivorous dinosaurs has been found in the icy landscape of Antarctica. Scientists have identified the dinosaur as the sauropoda which was the most diverse and geographically widespread species of herbivorous dinosaurs. However, this species was never discovered in Antarctica […]

Developing countries to benefit from science through solar power – scientists

Developing countries to benefit from science through solar power – scientists A chemistry academic at the University of Southampton is using solar generators in order to provide IT resources and hands-on science for students in the developing countries. Teaching science and IT related subjects in rural areas of many developing countries is a major difficulty […]

A humble leader stacks more points than a tough leader – research

A humble leader stacks more points than a tough leader – research Scientists and researchers at the Buffalo School of Management have said that a humble leader’s chances at succeeding are far better than that of a leader who is tough and stubborn with his co-workers. Many employees do complain about their bosses being too […]

Coronal Mass Ejection could destroy surface of the moon – Scientists

Coronal Mass Ejection could destroy surface of the moon – Scientists In a surprising revelation, NASA scientists claim that solar storms caused by the Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) could cause erosion to the surface of the moon. This was claimed after a new set of computer simulations conducted by NASA scientists. This could also result […]

Herbicides could weaken plant resistance – scientists

Herbicides could weaken plant resistance – scientists Researchers at the Purdue University have discovered that using herbicides could possibly weaken plants’ resistance. Dr. Angus Murphy, a horticulture professor studied the movement of auxin which is a hormone that is essential for plant development. The experiments showed that a protein named ABCB 4 which is responsible […]

World’s lightest material created by scientists

World’s lightest material created by scientists A team of scientists at the UC Irvine, HRL Laboratories and the California Institute of Technology have successfully developed world’s lightest material. According to calculations, this material has a density of just 0.9 mg/cc which is almost 100 times lighter than Styrofoam which was earlier the lightest material in […]

Cygnus X-1: A black hole whose mystery is finally unravelled

Cygnus X-1: A black hole whose mystery is finally unravelled For the first time in history, astronomers have been able to produce a complete description of a black hole. A black hole is concentration of mass that is so dense, even light can’t escape its powerful gravitational pull. Using several telescopes, both ground-based and in […]
