German researchers recently discovered that patients with monkeypox have high chances for virus load that can be ‘potentially’ contagious. With assistance from the Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine (BNITM) and University Medical Centre Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE), the researchers examined the hospital rooms of two monkeypox.

Researchers discover that monkeypox patients shed significant virus load that are ‘potentially’ infectious

Researchers found that regularly adding salt to meals can reduce a person’s life expectancy by 1.5 years for females and more than two years for males. A study of 500,000 middle-aged Britons found a correlation between adding salt to your meals and premature death.

Scientists at CERN have found three new exotic sub-atomic particles. The previously unseen particles were only around and existed for a fleeting moment, but they may contain information about the reasons the universe evolved the way it did.

CERN scientists discover 3 new exotic sub-atomic particles. Why is this significant?

Search for alien life has been favourite pastime as well as matter of scientific interest for mankind. Earth is teeming with life. Most part of the blue planet is covered by water.

NASA may make swimming robots to find aliens

Climate change is affecting us all. There is an urgent need to address the issue facing humanity otherwise our very existence on the only planet we've got will be in jeopardy.

Parts of Europe are now drier than they have been in thousand years: Study

We all know a 'hothead', a person who is in angry mood a tad bit more than everyone else. Among their friends, these people are often, and jokingly, given names that generally refer to their head be figuratively hotter that others.

Your brain is 'hotter' than previously thought, says this study

Scientists at Europe's physics research centre will on Tuesday (July 5) start delivering proton collisions in the 27 kilometer-long Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the machine that found the Higgs boson particle, after a shutdown for maintenance and upgrades was prolonged by COVID-19 delays.

Supernova is an outright explosion of the star. The phenomenon is associated with death of a star. But a 'Nova' is a different type of explosion. It is a transient (short-lived) phenomenon in the universe that may look like birth of a new star.

A 'record-fast' nova was visible for a day and then vanished

The word 'Selfie' was the 'word of the year' of Oxford Dictionaries in 2013. The concept was new in the preceding years. But since then the word (and photos) have become almost a second nature to us.

Solar eclipse is a wonder to behold when viewed from Earth in first. Not everyone of us has been lucky enough to experience this wonder of nature. If the celestial event is so impressive from our planet, imagine how it must enthral those who view it from space!

Aliens, if they are there somewhere in the outer space have not yet made a contact with us. It may also be that they have and we missed the message. Just imagine an alien craft coming to Earth and then going back dejected because we were too busy doing other things than to notice them.

Mystery deepens as spacecraft crashes into Moon, creating a double crater

Supernovas are some of the biggest explosions in the Universe. These supergiant blasts represent death of a star. Very small percentage of stars in the Universe sign off in this spectacular way.

Scientists have finally cracked the code on how to remain young. Actually, it’s quite simple. You just have to be born as a turtle. The two studies published in the journal Science on Thursday have presented limited evidence of cold-blooded species escaping ageing.

Scientists decode secret of eternal youth: Be born as turtle

Do you remember your science lessons from school? Do you remember learning about chromosomes? We were taught that there are two chromosomes X and Y and that each of us has a set of chromosomes.

For the men out there: Do you fall sick often? This might be why

Pluto may have been stripped of his status as a planet but the distant icy world, and its satellite Charon are surely objects of study. Pluto is more than 5 billion years away from Earth.

Mystery of 'red cap' on Pluto's moon finally solved

Voyager spacecrafts have travelled further into space than any made-made space vehicle has ever gone. Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, launched in 1977, were meant to last just five years.

James Webb Space Telescope is all set to take humanity on a unique journey as the most advansed telescope takes steps towards becoming functional. The first full-colour images taken by humanity's fresh pair of 'eye in the sky' are soon going to be available to all.

Despite its prominent position in the night sky, Moon is a desolate landscape. The surface of Earth's only satellite appears mottled with great many impacts from space rocks.

It's confirmed, water on Moon is native to it

A star when alive and kicking, can literally be life-giver in its planetary system. Take for example the Solar System. The Sun created the planetary system, and endowed Earth with life itself.

A dead star is ripping apart its planets in 'cosmic cannibalism'

Scientists say they have found the origins of the black death, the health catastrophe that killed tens of millions in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa in the 14th century. What did the researchers find and where did they find it?

Did scientists find origins of black death, bubonic plague after 675 years?

Have aliens finally contacted us? Yes, if a Chinese claim is to be believed. China's state-backed Science and Technology Daily made the claim and then deleted it, reported Bloomberg.

China says it has received signals from aliens: Report

Mosquitoes sleeping is something that's unbelievable to many of us, in the first place. The nasty insects appear to know when we are at the sweet spot of our slumber and carry out deep calculations to give us the cursed prick.

Doze over dine: Sleepy mosquitoes ignore food, says a study

According to new research, children who learn to play well with others at a young age have better mental health as they grow older. The findings of the research were published in the journal `Child Psychiatry and Human Development`.

Research reveals playing with pre-school friends reduces risk of developing mental health problems
