A new research suggests that the Darwinian evolution could be happening up to four times faster than previously thought. Based on an analysis of genetic variation, the researchers state evolution can happen faster if there are more genetic differences in a species. This is because certain traits die off and stronger ones get established. The…
A new warp speed experiment might provide an indirect verification of physicist Stephen Hawking’s black hole prediction. Scientists propose to capture a glimpse of the ethereal quantum glow that envelops things travelling at close to the speed of light by coaxing an atom to become invisible. Because the effect is so closely related to the…
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have tried to find ways to ensure that motorists don’t have to wait at a traffic intersection for the signal to change its colour. They have devised a method through which vehicles can reach the signal precisely at a time when it is green using consistency by…
Archaeologists in Egypt have unearthed enormous collection of rare artefacts from the Saqqara Necropolis on Monday. The team disclosed a stockpile of ornately decorated coffins or sarcophagi, sealed with mummies, along with a number of bronze statuettes.Read More
Reports of bomb-like blizzards and scorching droughts provide a dreadful image of climate change’s potential reality. In recent decades, modern data demonstrate an unnatural global warming trend that has taken control of the Earth’s climate. Humans release heat-trapping carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, raising global temperatures.Read More
The discovery of a unique neutron star producing unusual radio signals in our Milky Way galaxy could open the path for a whole new class of stellar objects. The neutron star emitted strange-looking flash or pulse 1,300 light-years away that lasted roughly 300 milliseconds. The flash resembled a radio-emitting neutron star in appearance.Read More
NASA’s Ingenuity helicopter has completed record-breaking 25 flights in the tenuous atmosphere. When the tiny helicopter was sent to the one-way trip, engineers had only planned for five flights. However, Ingenuity has surpassed expectations and has taken over 25 flights.Read More
Nxtdigital and Thaicom have partnered to form a strategic partnership to enter the broadband-over-satellite market and related services in India. The BoS systems could be enhanced to provide additional capacity on a software-defined high throughput satellite, augmenting the existing IPSTAR-1Read More
Indian Space Research Organisation to launch India’s communication satellite GSAT-24 by Arianespace from Kourou in French Guiana on June 22. The satellite and its allied equipment were shipped to Kourou, French Guiana on May 18 using C-17 Globemaster aircraft.Read More
Jeff Bezos’ space company Blue Origin plans to launch its fifth human mission NS-21 on June 4. NS-21 is set to launch from Blue Origin’s West Texas facility on Saturday during a window that opens at 9am EDT (6:30pm IST). Six individuals will fly on NS-21, states Blue Origin on its website.Read More
