Gravitational-wave model could yield fresh insights into the structure of neutron stars

Scientists at the University of Birmingham have developed a new gravitational-wave model that can bring neutron stars into even sharper focus. The model could...

Should tomatoes go in the fridge?

A new study investigating the effects of refrigeration on ripe tomatoes found that there is no perceptible difference; however, the variety of tomato is...

Tunguska event may be caused due to an asteroid

On the morning of 30 June 1908, a large explosion occurred near the Podkamennaya Tunguska River in Yeniseysk Governorate (now Krasnoyarsk Krai), Russia. That...

Plant virus-like particles as vehicles for therapeutic antibodies

Monoclonal antibodies are those that originate from identical immune cells having a common origin. They are highly effective, non-toxic and can specifically target diseased...

Why there is much more matter than antimatter in our Universe?

According to the Standard Model, matter and antimatter should have been created in equal quantities at the time of the Big Bang—yet our Universe...

Scientists observed Pauli crystals for the first time

The Pauli exclusion principle suggests that no two fermions can have the same set of quantum numbers. It also indicates that no two fermions...

A rare, toothless dinosaur identified in Australia

In 2015, while digging at the Cretaceous-aged fossil site known as Eric the Red West, near Cape Otway in Victoria, Dinosaur Dreaming volunteer Jessica...

Mystery of lava-like flows on Mars is finally solved

Large outflow channels on ancient terrains of Mars have been interpreted as the products of catastrophic flood events. The rapid burial of water-rich sediments...

Scientists identified four species of deep-sea Elvis worm

Elvis worms are native to deep-sea, chemosynthetic-based habitats. These worms are also known as scale worms. A new study by the University of California and...

The origin of high-energy neutrinos detected

Neutrinos are strange particles so tiny that scientists don't have the foggiest idea about their mass. They pass easily through objects, people, and even...

Earth’s inner core is rotating, study

Temporal changes of inner-core (IC) seismic phases have been confirmed with high-quality waveform doublets. However, the nature of the temporal changes is still controversial. Geologists...

New technology shows loss of brain synapses in early stages of Alzheimer’s

Alzheimer's disease is caused by the toxic build-up of the proteins tau and amyloid in the brain, which causes neuron cells to die. Studies...
