New computational model predicts gene function of plant genes quickly
Scientists have created a new computational model that can be used to predict gene function of uncharacterized plant genes with unprecedented speed and accuracy.
Could waste be a source of our energy requirements?
Scientists are trying to find answers to one of the most challenging problems existing today — generating energy without worsening climate change or harming food output.
Heat from Pacific caused 2007 record-breaking Arctic sea ice loss
In a new study, scientists have found that the 2007 record-breaking Arctic sea ice loss was a result of heat transported from the Pacific Ocean.
New dye may turn clothes into wearable batteries
Scientists from Stanford University in California have developed a dye that could turn your clothes into conductors.
Better flight management quickest way to cut emissions from aircraft
A study by scientists at the Oxford University, UK, has determined that the quickest way to cut emissions from aircraft could be better flight management rather than new technology.
Look up, see the biggest, brightest moon tonight
Dont forget to catch a glimpse of the moon this evening. According to scientists, the moon will be the closer to the earth Saturday than it will be for the rest of the year – appearing at its biggest and brightest.
Scientists get closer to imaging cell death
Researchers at the University of Notre Dame and the Washington University School of Medicine have made a major advance in using a synthetic probe to target dead and dying cells in mammary and prostate tumours in living animals.
Nuclear explosion may have given birth to the Moon
A team of scientists has proposed a new theory regarding the formation of the Moon, which suggests that a massive nuclear explosion that occurred at the edge of Earths core might have led to the formation of the natural satellite.
Plant evolution permanently changed the way rivers looked and behaved
In a new research, scientists have determined that plant evolution led to permanent changes to the way rivers looked and behaved about 420 million years ago.
