If you want your kid to grow up with a sharp mind, it means that leaving them in front of gadgets think for too long is a no-no. The Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development study (or more cleverly, the ABCD study) conducted by Canadian researchers had analyzed the data from the U.S. project which lasted ten […]
The United States’ mortality rate due to CVDs (cardiovascular diseases) declined by 41 percent in the last 15 years, but India is struggling with the CVDs as their rate rose by 34 percent based on a recent study which got published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. The contributing factors towards heart
The asteroid we are talking about looks like a human skull when looked at from certain light conditions and it will fly by our planet just a bit after Halloween. This asteroid has a more professional name which is Asteroid 2015 TB145, and its nickname is “dead comet” which no longer has all of its
Japan’s space agency, JAXA, released a video on Twitter on Thursday showing how it looks like on the surface of the asteroid Ryugu, which is located more than 200 million miles away from our planet. The video was taken by one of the two rovers that are at the moment placed on the asteroid. What
Flowering time is normally conditioned by environmental factors. A new study focused on the factors that induce flowering, as well as those who prevent premature flowering. UV-B is essential The plant used for the research was Arabidopsis thaliana (thale cress), and the aim of the study was to understand flowering mechanisms. UV-B, an important component
On their quest to study the surface of the moon in search for huge deposits of water ice, a Japan-based startup, Ispace, joins forces with SpaceX, whose rockets will take their two missions to the Earth’s satellite. At the moment, they are expected to fly towards the moon in 2020 and 2021. A failure of
In 2017, our Solar System got an extremely curious guest. It was called Oumuamua, and it was a comet (or was it a space rock?) with an odd shape moving at staggering velocity, and it sped around our Sun. After that, it traveled back into space. It was the main affirmed interstellar object to ever
Elon Musk’s company, called SpaceX is building an enormous, reusable rocket-spaceship called the BFR to enable our species to investigate and find out more about Earth’s moon, Mars and different universes all through the close planetary system. The extremely rich business visionary’s long-haul vision includes the foundation of a million-man city on the Red Planet
Due to a massive dust storm that engulfed the planet Mars earlier this year, the Opportunity rover was put to sleep. Since the spacecraft was dependent on solar energy, scientists did not know for how long it will be able to survive. Now it seems that the skies on the red planet have finally cleared
Mars has two tiny moons and they have been wrecking the scientists’ brain for decades as they were trying to explain their origin. A new study has surfaced and it is based on old data, apparently confirming one of the two major hypotheses regarding the fate of the moons of Mars. Phobos and Deimos are
