Scientists have made a significant breakthrough that may help deal with the ongoing challenge of obesity. They have discovered that intermittent calorie restriction can cause significant changes in the gut and the brain, which may open up new ways for healthy weight management.

In breakthrough discovery, Chinese scientists find new way to control obesity

#Gravitas A startling new study has revealed that microwaves are home to microbes some of which can survive radiation and extreme conditions.

Gravitas: Can bacteria thrive in microwave?

There are several ways in which living organisms on Earth reproduce, and sex is just one of the methods. Some reproduce by simply splitting themselves in twos and fours, and some do not need a partner to reproduce at all.

First animals to ever have sex were not what you would have expected

In an alarming development, the number of pathogens that could potentially trigger the next pandemic has risen to 30. In an updated list, published by the World Health Organization (WHO), influenza A virus, dengue virus, and monkeypox virus have been identified as ‘priority pathogens’.

Will women lose out if we crack the code to extending lifespans? Is there sex bias in lifespan research? According to a report, experts say mice in labs around the world are all male. Molly Gambhir telling you more!

Sex bias in lifespan research? Why are mice in labs around the world all male?

The brain recognises faces that it comes across. Sometimes we see those faces in places where they don't even exist. The science behind it is too complex for a common person to understand.

The Earth is undergoing some pretty profound changes with climate change playing a pivotal role and our next story explains us to how a startling new study has revealed that these human driven alterations are even impacting the Earth's rotation take a look!

How climate change is altering the earth’s rotation?

Why do we blush? This question has been puzzling scientists for years and various studies have been conducted to decipher this emotional arousal of human beings. Back in 1872, renowned British naturalist Charles Darwin described blushing as "the most peculiar and most human of all expressions". Researchers at the University of Amsterdam thought of going a layer deeper and conducted experiments on mostly female young people aged between 16 and 20 to reveal the science behind this phenomenon.

Scientists finally know why do we blush

Researchers from Columbia University in the United States have identified the specific area in the brain where curiosity originates. The finding reveals new light on the intrinsic human drive to learn and adapt to new environments.

Scientists pinpoint brain area responsible for curiosity

Researchers may soon be able to use "intelligent onesies" to observe how newborns move around and diagnose autism, ADHD, and other neurodivergent disorders in infants.

Babies' movements tracked with 'intelligent onesies' could help diagnose autism, ADHD

Scientists say the Earth's core is slowing down and it could possibly be rotating in reverse. How is this possible? What does it mean for our planet?

Scientists say the Earth's core is behaving oddly. Here's why

NASA has announced to give SpaceX a $843 million contract to destroy the International Space Station (ISS) and land it safely back on Earth. The deorbit vehicle designed by SpaceX will be used to push ISS out of its orbit after 2030 when its operational life ends.

According to a new study, the last woolly mammoth population vanished due to a sudden, random event 4,000 years ago. The genome analysis suggests that the mammoths did not go extinct for genetic reasons, as earlier believed.

Mysterious event led to the woolly mammoths perishing from Earth: Study

A prehistoric wolf dating back to 44,000 years has undergone an autopsy. The mummified predator was found in 2021 about 40 metres below permafrost by the river Tirekhtyakh in East Russia.
