Unification of all natural forces in a single theory of everything has been the dream of physicists for many years now. While Albert Einstein attempted this through his Unified Field Theory, many have tried this through quantum mechanics theories. However, according to the latest thoughts among some of the best physicists out there, what holds…
The researchers have developed a new type of microbial fuel cell (MFC) that provides a reliable and constant source of electricity generated by soil-dwelling microorganisms. The focus of this study was to create a sustainable, long-term power source for precision farming and remote sensing that could replace standard batteries that are often toxic to the…
Not only is water necessary for sustaining life, but it is also an important factor in maintaining the climate of a planet. The study of exoplanets reveals that without enough water, there is no way for a planet to establish a stable carbon cycle, which is necessary for the regulation of the planet’s carbon dioxide…
NASA‘s Voyager 1 was launched almost 49 years ago and is still actively travelling through deep space, currently over 15 billion miles away from Earth. Voyager 1 was created by humans and is the furthest any human-made object has ever travelled. However, Voyager 1is facing a power-related emergency due to its radioisotope thermoelectric generators losing…
The next time a restaurant playlist feels perfectly timed, there may be science behind it. Researchers have found that sound can influence how people experience food, from sweetness and bitterness to how quickly they eat and how much they enjoy a meal. This does not mean music changes the chemistry of the food itself. Instead,…
An AI generated image used for representation purpose only NEW DELHI: Exposure to air pollution could be associated with an increased migraine activity, according to a study.Both a short-term and cumulative exposure to air pollution were tied to increased migraine activity, as were climate factors such as heat and humidity, findings published in the journal…
A new experimental hair-loss treatment has drawn global attention after researchers reported encouraging early results from a plant-based scalp serum. Scientists in Taipei, led by Dr Tsong Min Chang of Schweitzer Biotech Company, found that volunteers using the formula for eight weeks showed measurable improvements in hair density and thickness compared with a placebo group….
The night sky still holds many interesting elements for both scientists and people interested in astronomy in terms of phenomena that take place throughout the year. One recent update coming from an astronaut on the International Space Station operated by NASA draws attention to the ongoing activity of the Lyrid meteor shower. In this respect,…
Modern sanitation systems have long treated human urine as waste, flushing away valuable nitrogen and phosphorus that are essential for plant growth. However, a recent study published in the Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering proposes a paradigm shift: converting this overlooked byproduct into a sustainable, low-energy fertiliser. By utilising forward osmosis, researchers have successfully concentrated…
A small near-earth asteroid is expected to make a close pass by Earth on 21 April 2026, according to data reportedly shared by NASA. The object has been identified as 2026 HJ1 and is being monitored by astronomers using specialised telescopes. It appears to be part of the regular stream of space objects that move…
