Neurons, the specialized cells of the nervous system, are possibly the most complicated cell type ever to have evolved. In humans, these cells are capable of processing and transmitting vast sums of information. But how such complicated cells first came about remains a long-standing debate. Now, scientists in Japan have revealed the type of messenger …

Super-Earth is located 37 light-years from us. Scientists have discovered a Super-Earth that is four times the mass of our planet and takes just 10.8 days to complete a whole year. According to the American space agency NASA, the exoplanet, called Ross 508 b, was discovered using a new infrared monitoring technique. It is located …
Examinations in human cadavers and ACL reconstruction patients showed that the QTB graft is more similar to the ACL at the femoral insertion site than the BPTB graft. The difference between graft bending angle (GBA) and an angle corresponding to GBA showed that the BPTB graft bends less than the BPTB graft, suggesting a lower …
Very Large Telescope view of the Fornax Galaxy Cluster. Image Credit: ESO. Acknowledgments: Aniello Grado and Luca Limatola According to the leading model of the universe, the cosmos is filled with five times more “dark matter” than regular matter. This hypothetical substance is invisible but a dark matter halo is thought to exist around galaxies …

China’s Shenzhou 14 mission astronauts are getting the country’s new space station module ready to host crews over the next decade. Wentian launched on July 24 and docked with the Tianhe core module hours later, expanding China’s Tiangong space station to two modules. SInce then, the Shenzhou 14 crew — Chen Dong, Cai Xuzhe and …

The unexpected solar wind that turned into a storm Since scientists are constantly monitoring the solar surface, they have a fairly good idea about which solar winds are headed our way and which aren’t. Based on the data, they can also predict the strength of geomagnetic storms that result from these solar winds, full of …

Here is what NASA says about an asteroid that crashed into Earth on March 15, 2022. Earth keeps on pulling objects in outer space towards itself because of its strong gravitational pull. But imagine if every object starts hitting or crashing into the planet! Such events are rare though because when any object from outer …

Aug 8 2022Reviewed by Alex Smith The vast majority of galaxies, according to the accepted theory of cosmology, are encircled by a halo of dark matter particles. Despite being invisible, this halo’s mass pulls nearby galaxies in a powerful gravitational field. The dwarf galaxy NGC1427A flies through the Fornax galaxy cluster and undergoes disturbances which …
