World’s Largest Digital Survey Introduced by Scientists

After the hard work of four years, scientists have finally created a digital mapping survey to observe the sky. As per the scientists, this study is unique and known as the largest survey of the world. The scientists have claimed that, the survey can map more than three billion stars as well as galaxies in extraordinary detail. The Pan-STARRS obse ...

DISINTEGRATION OF MAJOR OCEAN CURRENT PREDICTED

The movie “The Day After Tomorrow” shows how global warming causes the failure of a huge Atlantic Ocean current, which triggers catastrophic natural calamities, and establishes freezing surroundings in Europe and North America for weeks together. Researchers have found that this scenario is not far from reality. The Atlantic Meridional ...

New Reptile Species Found by Scientists

A team of scientists have revealed a multi-colored snake, small frog and dragon horn lizard as new species among 150 new species. The scientists have found these new creatures in the ecologically diverse Mekong region. As per the scientists, Mekong River comes all the way crossing the Tibetan plateau through the mountains and jungles of Southeast A ...

BLACK DEATH PIT DISCOVERED

An extremely rare discovery of a mass burial of bodies has been discovered at Thornton Abbey, Lincolnshire at the location of a 14th century monastery hospital. The Black Death, one of human history’s worst pandemics was the cause of this pit with 48 skeletons, out of which 27 are of children. The plague had caused the death of some 75 to 200 ...

OLIVINE MODEL FOR STUDYING PLATE TECTONICS

Plate Tectonics is the idea that the earth’s surface is composed of plates which move apart and reunite. Since 1960s this has been used to explain volcano and earthquake locations. The exact definition of the tectonic plates and their thicknesses has remained a hotly debated subject. This is because it has been difficult to define the bottom ...

Red List Alert! Population of Giraffes is at High Risk

A team of scientists led by Rachel Martin from the International Union for Conservation of Nature have observed the decreasing population of giraffes. The scientists have found that the increasing habitats of humans have largely affected the number of Giraffes. As a result of humans spreading out into new areas, the habitat for the giraffe in Afric ...

Scientists Finds Factors That Shape Gut Microbiome

A team of scientists from the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) has done a study how the forces shape the microbiome.  The scientists have unsolved the mystery behind the shape and size of the microbial community. It has been claimed by the scientists th ...

Global Temperature Affects Subalpine Forests

The scientists have done a study that shows trees will advance upslope with increasing temperature. Additionally, global warming can shift the tree line of the mountain zone. The scientists have explained that mountain zones are especially known for greeneries and trees. However, the trees become smaller and eventually stop growing on advanced elev ...

Initiative by Scientists to Improve Marine Life

The researchers have developed a method to track the behavior of several underwater mammals. Earlier this method was used by the scientists to check the diseased animals living under the huge oceans. This epidemiological model can identify how some California sea lions have learned to prey on salmon gathering to ascend fish ladders at Bonneville Da ...

Individual Organism in Human Genomes Interact With Each Other

The scientists from the Carl R. Woese Institute for Universal Biology (IGB) have deeply studied the human organism. As per the researchers, the genomes change over the lifetime of individual organisms, while evolving over generations. The scientists are trying to understand the genes that are active and are doing genome editing in real time in livi ...
