A new type of extremely reactive substance, organic hydrotrioxides (ROOOH), has been detected in the Earth's atmosphere for the first time. Scientists have stated that the substance can have effects that are still unknown. It could pose threat to human health, or even impact the global climate. Trioxides are compounds with three oxygen atoms attached to each other. As per the researchers from the University of Copenhagen, the trioxides are formed under atmospheric conditions. Trioxides are even more reactive than peroxides, which have two oxygen atoms attached. Scientists had predicted that trioxides were probably in the atmosphere as well. However, it was never proven until now.

"But the fact that we now have evidence that the compounds are formed and live for a certain amount of time means that it is possible to study their effect ... and respond if they turn out to be dangerous," he said. "This is what we have now accomplished. The type of compounds we discovered are unique in their structure. And, because they are extremely oxidising, they most likely bring a host of effects that we have yet to uncover," he added.

The centuries-old ruins of an ancient Mayan city have been uncovered by archaeologists, who were working in the Yucatan region of Mexico, news agency Reuters reported on Friday (May 27). The city is filled with palaces, pyramids and plazas. The site where the ancient city has been uncovered is a construction site of what will become an industrial park near Merida on the Yucatan Peninsula. For the unversed, the Maya civilization was a Mesoamerican civilization developed by the Maya people. They are noted for their sophisticated and highly developed writing system - logosyllabic script and also hailed for art, architecture, calendar, mathematics and astronomical system.&nbsp;

Scientists have analysed the social behaviour in male friendships and male reproductive success in wild Guinea baboons. They attempted to find out when and why male&nbsp;baboons&nbsp;become less important than female mating partners. The findings of the research were published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences. The study highlights close friendships among males, which are so uncommon. Usually, what happened, males compete for rank and access to attract females. Scientists from the German Primate Center (DPZ) investigated the benefits of male friendships in wild Guinea baboons in Senegal. As per the study, Guinea baboons are known for strong bonds among males.&nbsp;

To carry out the study, data from 30 males and 50 infants were collected over four years in the Niokolo-Koba National Park, Senegal.

Amid growing concerns over the recent spread of the monkeypox virus, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) advised the monkeypox patients to avoid any contact with their pets for 21 days. Monkeypox is a viral infection that is more common in West and Central Africa. However, its spread in Europe and some other western countries alarmed the experts. Meanwhile, the World Health Organization (WHO) cautioned on May 27 that the detection of cases in recent weeks could be just the beginning.&nbsp;"We don't know if we are just seeing the peak of the iceberg," said Sylvie Briand, WHO's epidemic and pandemic preparedness and prevention chief.&nbsp;

Monkeypox virus: Rodent pets belonging to monkeypox patients should 'ideally' be isolated

New Delhi police have arrested three men for stealing over 40 luxury cars using hi-tech tools, including scanners and GPS jammers, India-based news agency PTI reported.

New Delhi police have arrested three men for stealing over 40 luxury cars using hi-tech tools, including scanners and GPS jammers, India-based news agency PTI reported. The alleged robbery was apparently inspired by a famous Hollywood movie, 'Fast & Furious'. The Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson starrer film has a massive fan following across the world. 'Fast & Furious' is a series of action films based on street racing, heists, spies, family and friendship. However, people taking inspiration from the fictional robberies is a little too much in reality. Police have informed that the accused have been identified as Manish Rao (42) and Jagdeep Sharma (43). Both are residents of the Uttam Nagar region of New Delhi. Police also nabbed Aas Mohammad (40), who is a native of Meerut, a city in Uttar Pradesh state.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (southwest) Manoj C said that the car was found stolen from the Paschim Vihar area in Delhi. Police stated that various instruments, including a sensor kit, magnet, LNT keys and eight remote car keys were recovered during the search of the stolen vehicle. While giving information about Mohammad, police said that he used to sell the stolen vehicles in Rajasthan, a state in western India. He was said to be the main supplier of these stolen cars.

The police official also said that the accused were inspired by the movie 'The Fast & the Furious' and used scanners to unlock the cars within minutes and a jammer to disable the GPS if it was installed in the car.

Fast but not so furious: Hollywood-inspired robbers arrested for stealing luxury cars in New Delhi

In India, health authorities are alarmed as monkeypox cases are being identified across the world. But concerns have been raised globally over multiple outbreaks and the recent increase in monkeypox cases in different parts of the world which is alarming as it is a viral infection that is more common in West and Central Africa.

In India, health authorities are alarmed as monkeypox cases are being identified across the world. But concerns have been raised globally over multiple outbreaks and the recent increase in monkeypox cases in different parts of the world which is alarming as it is a viral infection that is more common in West and Central Africa. The recent cases were confirmed (or suspected) in Europe and some other countries. However, a World Health Organization (WHO) senior official said on Friday (May 27) that the priority needs to be containing monkeypox in non-endemic countries, saying that this can be achieved through quick action. The WHO informed on May 27 that some 200 monkeypox cases were found in recent weeks outside of countries where the virus usually circulates. In India, no monkeypox case has been identified yet. However, the health authorities in the country are keeping a close watch over the spread of the virus. The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) official on May 27 said that India is prepared given increasing infections in the non-endemic countries. ALSO READ | No evidence found over mutation in monkeypox virus, says WHO's senior official While speaking to India-based news agency ANI, Dr Aparna Mukherjee, Scientist C, ICMR said, "India is prepared for the infections as it is rapidly spreading in non-endemic countries like Europe, USA and others. However, no cases have been reported in India so far." Experts have noted that monkeypox transmission usually happens due to close contact with infected animals such as rodents and monkeys and is limited between people. "We should observe the unusual symptoms like high fever, a lot of lymphadenopathies, large lymph nodes, body ache, rashes, etc, especially those who have travel history from infected countries," Dr Mukherjee said. "People who witness the symptoms can get tested, either from the fluid that comes out of those lesions or the respiratory samples and like National Institute of virology has the setting for testing these viruses," she added.

The disease is considered endemic in 11 African nations. Mukherjee said that people should not get panic and avoid close contact who test positive for monkeypox. She further added, "Kids are more susceptible to the infection. The elderly people would be vaccinated with the smallpox vaccine." "After the 1980s, people who did not get the smallpox vaccine that gives cross-immunity to fight against the infection, so the younger people will be more susceptible. The treatment is the same for both children and adults," she mentioned. WHO officials said that there was no need for mass vaccination at present, but targeted vaccination. "Contact tracing, investigation and isolation remain the primary modes of control for the time being," said Rosamund Lewis, WHO head of the smallpox secretariat which is part of the WHO Emergencies Programme.

From its origin to its rivers, Amazon is said to be one of the most mysterious and mystical places on Earth. Until the late 20th century, it was believed that the Amazon region supported hunter-gatherer tribes, and nothing else. However, recent probes have revealed evidence of civilisation with stunning findings like traces of irrigation, earthworks, large towns, canals etc. People have disappeared (presumably lost their lives) trying to locate the lost cities - which are popular in legends - that are said to have existed deep within the forest. Remember the story of British explorer Percy Fawcett? He searched for what he believed was the 'Lost City of Z'. In 1925, Fawcett disappeared with his son into the jungle and never returned. In the most recent discovery, ancient cities have been located in the Bolivian Amazon using lidar technology. The technology is dubbed "lasers in the sky". ALSO READ | Mars once had rivers, streams and lakes but why did the Red Planet dry out? The study published in Nature journal suggests that Amazon’s rainforest was actually heavily populated. The study presented lidar data of sites belonging to the Casarabe culture (around AD 500 to AD 1400) in the Llanos de Mojos savannah–forest mosaic, southwest Amazonia. It reveals the presence of two remarkably large sites in a dense four-tiered settlement system. The study revealed that the "civic-ceremonial architecture of these large settlement sites includes stepped platforms, on top of which lie U-shaped structures, rectangular platform mounds and conical pyramids (which are up to 22 m tall)".

They are connected to lower-ranked sites by long straight and raised causeways The study indicates that the Casarabe-culture settlement pattern represents a type of tropical low-density urbanism that has not previously been described in Amazonia. José Iriarte from the University of Exeter said, "We long suspected that the most complex pre-Columbian societies in the whole basin developed in this part of the Bolivian Amazon, but evidence is concealed under the forest canopy and is hard to visit in person." "Our lidar system has revealed built terraces, straight causeways, enclosures with checkpoints, and water reservoirs.

Oleksiy Arestovych, who is the adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, apparently confirmed that Russian-backed separatists have control of the city. In a video, as mentioned by news agency Reuters, Arestovych said. "According to unverified data, we lost the town of Lyman." He added that the attack had been well organised.

Around 3.6 to 3.0 billion years ago, Mars' climate was at least occasionally warm enough for rivers and lakes. It was inferred to have been habitable. However, the surface today is a cold desert.

Around 3.6 to 3.0 billion years ago, Mars' climate was at least occasionally warm enough for rivers and lakes. It was inferred to have been habitable. However, the surface today is a cold desert. Scientists are exploring whether or not Mars can support life. They are trying to find out answers that can help them probe the potential of human settlement on the Red Planet, and what it might look like. In an attempt to investigate something that seems quite unrealistic, scientists have taken up several spacecraft missions related to the planet Mars, such as orbiters and rovers. From Mariner 4 (1964) to Mars 2020 (2020), missions to Mars have unfolded several mysteries and produced remarkable findings. Mars is the prime focus for scientists when it comes to living outside Earth. But why is it so? Scientists have noted that Mars once had rivers as there are tracks of rivers, streams and lakes, which apparently dried up about three billion years ago. A new study, published on May 25 in Science Advances, probes the changing spatial distribution of water flow on Mars. It has been revealed that the change charts major changes in Mars' greenhouse effect. The study noted that the analysis of the greenhouse effect within the ensemble of global climate model simulations suggests that this shift was "primarily driven by waning non-CO2 radiative forcing, and not changes in CO2 radiative forcing". The findings highlight that the loss was triggered by a layer of thin, icy clouds high in the atmosphere of Mars. It trapped heat and warmed the planet, acting like translucent greenhouse glass.

We'd really like to understand, especially because it's the only planet we definitely know changed from habitable to uninhabitable." Kite is the first author of a new study done with collaborations with Bowen Fan, who is a graduate student at the University of Chicago student, scientists from the Smithsonian Institution, Planetary Science Institute, California Institute of Technology Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and Aeolis Research.

After that, they could combine that with simulations of different climate conditions. The study noted that the "past climate on Mars can be probed using the spatial distribution of climate-sensitive landforms." "We analyzed global databases of water-worked landforms and identified changes in the spatial distribution of rivers over time. These changes are simply explained by comparison to a simplified meltwater model driven by an ensemble of global climate model simulations," the study read.

Mars once had rivers, streams and lakes but why did the Red Planet dry out?

The recent spread and detection of multiple outbreaks of monkeypox infections raised concerns globally. Monkeypox is an uncommon disease as cases mostly occur in west and central Africa,&nbsp;very rarely it spreads elsewhere. However, it appears that experts had issued a warning for the monkeypox disease three years ago, a report by the Sunday Telegraph suggests.&nbsp;

The media outlet released a report recalling an old seminar. In 2019, experts attended a seminar in London and discussed the need to develop "new generation vaccines and treatments".&nbsp;

In the seminar, the experts apparently discussed that a large part of the world population (said to be 70%) is not protected against smallpox as, after the eradication of the disease, smallpox vaccinations have been stopped (or paused). It eventually means that the particular population is no longer protected against other viruses in the same family.&nbsp;

Will it be like COVID-19 pandemic?</a>

As per the report, the scientists had highlighted recent monkeypox outbreaks, such as in 2003, 2018 and 2019 and suggested that the rare monkeypox disease was emerging again.&nbsp;

In 2020, the discussion was published in the Vaccine journal. In the conclusion, it is mentioned that these facts invite speculation that "emergent or re-emergent" human monkeypox might fill the epidemiological niche vacated by smallpox. Scientists were from top educational institutions such as the London School of Tropical Hygiene and Medicine and the University of Cambridge.&nbsp;

The Monkeypox illness usually causes symptoms of fever, muscle aches and swollen lymph nodes, with chickenpox-like rashes on the hands and face. Transmission usually happens due to close contact with infected animals such as rodents and monkeys and is limited between people.

Japan hosted the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, or Quad, on Tuesday (May 24) as leaders of the United States, Australia and India visited Tokyo, the vibrant capital city, to hold talks and discuss issues of mutual interest. While talking about Japan and its economy, how can we not discuss the stunning robots? Yes, it's quintessential to mention them. After all, they are the hardest workers. Japan is often called the robot capital of the world and one can watch them doing all kinds of odd jobs here. From security guards to doctors to therapy experts, robots do various jobs. To the rest of the world, it might look weird, but in Japan, it's normal as humanoids are pretty common. In fact, they are part of Japanese culture and religion. Robots are an important part of the Japanese economy. ALSO READ | Why Japan prefers higher inflation A report published by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) in March this year revealed that Japan is the world's number one industrial robot manufacturer, delivering 45 per cent of the global supply. As per the report, Japan's robot suppliers have increased their production capacity considerably. Their export ratio rose to 78 per cent in 2020 and at that time, 136,069 industrial robots were shipped. Experts have noted that the highly robotized country, Japan, is the frontrunner globally in the use of robots in day-to-day life. The country is finding ways to have a friendlier society, which will be connected by robots.

In the past couple of months, political turmoil in Pakistan grabbed the world's attention when the country's parliament chose Shehbaz Sharif as prime minister of the nation on April 11.&nbsp;

The crisis led to the ouster of his predecessor Imran Khan. The former Pakistan prime minister called for general elections and quite a few times mentioned the involvement of a "foreign conspiracy" to oust him from power. Shehbaz has denied such allegations.&nbsp;

As per the latest report, Shehbaz Sharif may be forced into early elections. Local media reports have stated that the PML-N said that the polls would only be held in August 2023.&nbsp;

The reports have mentioned that Shehbaz Sharif has been asked by his elder brother and former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to call for early elections in the country.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, the coalition parties in the ruling government urged Shehbaz to not go into early elections. The coalition partners have also asked Shehbaz to make crucial decisions to take the country out of the current economic crisis.&nbsp;
