Scientists are making important strides toward a better understanding of antimatter. Researchers have now demonstrated that antimatter responds to gravity the same way matter does - by falling. Watch this video for all details.

Einstein proven right again! Humans are one step closer to understanding antimatter

Scientists have discovered two super massive black holes merging in distant galaxies. NASA has also recorded the sound emitted by the super massive black holes. What does a black hole sound like? Molly Gambhir tells you more.

Gravitas: Scientists reveal the sound of a super massive black hole

Astronomers across the world announce that they have found the first evidence of a long-theorised form of gravitational waves that create a background hum rumbling throughout the universe. The breakthrough was made by hundreds of scientists using radio telescopes in North America, Europe, China, India and Australia after years of work.

Monster gravitational waves spotted for the first time

You must know who Nelson Mandela is. Former President of South Africa, popular leader, anti-apartheid activist and the inspiration behind a mid-boggling theory called The Mandela Effect. Known all about it here.

Mandela effect: A theory that proves alternate realities?

Long dismissed as a kooky conspiracy theory favored by the far right, the idea that Covid emerged from a lab leak in Wuhan has been gaining increasing momentum in the United States.&nbsp;

The government's position has shifted to agnosticism in recent weeks, with top pandemic advisor Anthony Fauci and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Rochelle Walensky both saying they are open to all possibilities.&nbsp;

"We need to get to the bottom of this and we need a completely transparent process from China, we need the WHO (World Health Organization) to assist in that matter," senior White House Covid advisor Andy Slavitt said on Tuesday.&nbsp;

The demand for more investigation is in stark contrast to the start of the pandemic, when scientists quickly came together around the idea that the virus crossed over from bats via an intermediary animal.&nbsp;

The problem is, this link still hasn't been found, Scott Gottlieb, a former head of the Food and Drug Administration, told CNBC on Monday -- and not for want of trying.&nbsp;

Previous coronaviruses that crossed over to humans, SARS and MERS, were quickly traced back to civets and camels. &nbsp;

"The question for a lot of people is going to be when are too many coincidences too much?" added Gottlieb.&nbsp;

Citing a US intelligence report, The Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday that a trio from the Wuhan Institute of Virology were hospitalised with a seasonal illness in November 2019.&nbsp;

China disclosed the existence of an outbreak of pneumonia cases in Wuhan to the World Health Organization (WHO) on December 31, 2019.&nbsp;

Beijing dismissed the Journal report as "totally untrue."&nbsp;

On Tuesday, the United States and other countries called for a more in-depth probe into the pandemic's origins, after an international mission to China earlier this year proved inconclusive.&nbsp;

A long-delayed report by a team of experts dispatched by the WHO to Wuhan and their Chinese counterparts drew no firm conclusions on the origins of the pandemic.&nbsp;

It said that a natural origin was the most probable scenario, and that a theory involving the virus leaking from a laboratory was "extremely unlikely."&nbsp;

After the report was released, however, WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus himself insisted all theories remained on the table.&nbsp;

And calls from scientists for more transparency are growing.&nbsp;

"We must take hypotheses about both natural and laboratory spillovers seriously until we have sufficient data," a group of researchers from top US universities wrote in a letter published by the journal Science in mid-May.&nbsp;

The virus has claimed more than 3.4 million lives worldwide and determining how it passed to humans is considered crucial in preventing the next pandemic.&nbsp;
