A team of Swiss researchers have proposed using an autonomous, robotic hydraulic excavator for building a dry stone wall which will work as a blast shield and protect the launch pad on the moon.

Humans are now planning to build stone walls on Moon using robots. Here's why

In a very interesting study, the scientists have claimed that the brains of the domestic dogs are comparatively smaller than those of their wild ancestors like the wolf.

Humans are diminishing the brains of dogs. How? By petting them: Study

A new study has claimed that chimpanzees hold conversations with each other, akin to humans but using gestures instead of rapid-fire speech. The research sheds light on behaviour patterns humans and primates share due to evolution.

Chimpanzees hold 'conversations' just like humans, new study finds

Scientists have made a significant but sweet discovery in which they found that dogs experience “emotional contagion” after smelling human stress. Because of this, the dogs tend to make more ‘pessimistic’ choices, as per the scientists.

In a new study, it has been found how inconvenient is death as an event for a living brain. A cascade of effects has been observed as oxygen starts depleting and translating the DNA in its last efforts to save the life.

Utah state wildlife officers have announced that a disease responsible for the recent beaver deaths in the northern part of the US state could affect humans. Since March 23, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR) has found nine beavers dead in Utah, Summit and Wasatch counties.

Disease killing beavers in Utah can also be contracted by humans, officials warn

In a new study, it has been noted that organ transplants, which save people's lives, may also be altering their personalities in unexpected ways. The paper titled “Personality Changes Associated with Organ Transplants”, which was published in the medical journal Transplantology in January discussed how various transplant recipients have seen major and long-lasting changes in their actions, thoughts and behaviour.

Humans may witness personality change after organ transplant: Study

Pathogens from animals gave some of the deadliest diseases to humankind. For example, the virus that causes AIDS crossed over from chimpanzees. But a new study suggests this exchange has not been a one-way street. Watch this video to find out all details.

Are Humans giving more viruses to animals than they give us?

The icy moon of planet Jupiter, Europa, has been producing 1,000 tonnes of oxygen every 24 hours which is sufficient to keep one million humans breathing, as per the data collected by the Juno spacecraft, which is orbiting the planet.

Jupiter’s moon Europa produces enough oxygen for one million humans to breathe every day: Study

There was a time when humans had tails, but thanks to evolution, certain changes ensured that the tail vanished. Nearly 25 million years ago, the tails of human beings disappeared.

Here's why human tails disappeared 25 million years ago

According to a new study, even if an intelligent species exists, the physical constraints which are present on some planets are likely to prevent them from taking any step in space travel.

Intelligent aliens can also not beat humans in space travel: Study

Pets having close contact with their owners, including sharing beds, snuggling and eating in the same area, might be more prone to catching human illnesses. According to a study published in Zoonoses: Infections Affecting Humans and Animals, pets can catch several diseases from their human owners, including swine flu, human norovirus, COVID-19 and tuberculosis to dengue, fungal infections and parasites.

Beware! You might be making your pets sick unknowingly, new study suggests

Researchers in the United States have issued a warning against the spread of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), which is present among wildlife, in humans, reported the Independent.

We know that dogs have evolved particular facial muscles to appear more cute to humans, but have we unknowingly affected our canine friends' eyes? Apparently, yes.

Humans can't resist puppy eyes, so much so that we have impacted their eye colour

Birds play a crucial part in an ecosystem. Human activities has led to the extinction of 12.3% of bird species. Extinction driven by human settlement & deforestation. The world is at risk of losing another 700 bird species.

A research team, headed by bioengineering pioneer César de la Fuente, has been making use of artificial intelligence-based computational methods to get mine genetic information from humans who have become extinct now like Neanderthals and long-gone ice age creatures such as giant sloths and woolly mammoths.

Scientists try to get molecules from extinct humans to discover new antibiotics

The mystery surrounding the two "non-human" mummies discovered in Peru deepened after an analyst said that 30 per cent of its DNA when analysed did not match humans but an "unknown species".
