In a new research by scientists at University of Exeter, artificial intelligence (AI) can track the health of coral reefs by learning the “song of the reef”. The team used several recordings of healthy and deteriorated reefs to train a computer algorithm, allowing the machine to learn the difference.Read More

Skygazers have an opportunity to see a new meteor shower, which will likely take place in the coming week. Named the Tau Herculids, this minor shower is set to fall from the shattered SW3 comet beginning May 30. The “shooting stars” event is set to peak on May 31. It will be seen across the US…

The researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) focussed on thalamus region of the brain in their study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The team said this could be an ideal target for treatments to reverse memory loss in elderly people.Read More

Global warming is posing an existential threat to the Siberian tundra, the frozen lands near the Arctic Circle, researchers have said in a new study. They said that the tundra could virtually disappear by mid-millennium if temperatures continued to grow rapidly.Read More

A new research has suggested a very unlikely source for water on the lunar surface. It stated that the presence of water on the Earth’s closest neighbour could be a result of volcanoes, which we now know occurred a number of times on the moon in the past.Read More

New study suggests that yawning could be a way for animal groups to synchronise with each other and coordinate group behaviours. The idea is that if yawning indicates that a person is feeling sleepy then watching him yawn may alert other members of the group.Read More

In a recent discovery, astronomers have spotted an exoplanet or a super-Earth that is four times the size of our planet. The planet, Ross 508 b, orbits the star at a distance that offers temperatures conducive to the formation of water on the surface of the planet.Read More

The Indian Space Research Organisation is taking help of doctors in building its human-rated spacecraft for the Gaganyaan mission. This will be India’s first human spaceflight to take astronauts into a low earth orbit.Read More

Singapore, after struggling to find staff during pandemic, has gradually adopted the shift towards deploying robots to help carry out a range of tasks, from surveying construction sites to scanning library bookshelves. Robots are also being used for customer-facing tasks, with more than 30 metro stations set to have robots making coffee for commuters.Read More

In a new research, it has been revealed that the body’s immune response and the lymphatic system (a part of the immune system) are critical in the heart’s ability to repair itself after an attack. These macrophages release a specific sort of protein called VEGFC as the first responders on the scene after a heart…
